Puppy Dog Tales...

this is a true story.

yesterday, we established that

max

can be a bit of a bully in our household

as ellie can testify...

ellie and max were both given a bone

for morning tea.

they both took their bones downstairs

and max settled with his under the outside table,

while ellie snuck hers around the corner.

max noticed where ellie was and being jealous

stole her bone from right under her nose!

ellie came right upstairs and told on him

as all sisters would.

i gave ellie another bone

and let her stay on the porch

at the top of the stairs to chew on it.

that bully!

he wanted to steal that bone too!

but i came between them both,

as a mother should,

i wagged my finger at him,

and said "max, no!"

in my deepest, growliest voice.

well, the funniest thing happened.

he went down the stairs again,

picked up ellie's first bone with his teeth

and

took it back to the place he stole it from!

it was as if to say,

"i am behaving now,

so can i have another one too!"

we had to forgive him

for his bully-boy tactics

and his greedy ways.

ellie didn't let him get away with it though.

she went down to get the first bone

and max wanted it again.

they ended up in a little dog-fight.

ellie won.

max was on his back in submission

and ellie's little paw

just rested gentlly on his chest.

then off they trotted

to their respective corners

with their own bones.

well...

everybody thinks their own pets are cute,

thanks for indulging me.

i have some blue cherry fabric

that i think i will turn into another apron.

enjoy your weekend...see ya monday,

naturally Carol xox

ps...had an order in with retromummy for some fabric, last week, before her little elodie arrived.

'cos there was a small delay she enclosed a piece of owly fabric for me too.  how good is that?

unexpected kindness....that's tops!
