For example, this weekend Blake and I were downstairs on the couch watching TV and Tasha was upstairs, presumably on guard at the door to the room where the cats are, waiting for an opportunity to get those cats that she is never able to catch. Then, Tasha comes downstairs like this:
Yes, that is the lid to our trashcan upstairs that probably had some food trash in it and Tasha, after reaching her head in to get the food, found that the lid was then stuck on her head, and came to us to get it off! How can you not help but laugh at your dog when they get themselves into such a predicament!
The second big trouble that Tasha got herself into this weekend was less funny to me, only because it cost us money to fix.
Let me start by saying that Blake and I, while we endeavor to eat healthy, both have quite the sweet tooth. We don't always indulge it, but on Sunday we did, and we got ourselves a treat of a couple of delicious donuts to eat after our bike ride. Blake put the bag on my desk, told me to watch it (since we knew Tasha has a reputation for trouble), and I did... except for the moment when I went into the room to grab my biking clothes to change into... and when I came out, this is what I saw:
...our donut bag... with a suspicious hole in the bottom... and no donuts to be seen!
She didn't get sick (no chocolate ones, thank goodness), but we were bummed that our treat was gone, and though we could have treated it as a sign that we really didn't need that sugar, we instead took a trip back to the donut shop after the ride... and made sure we ate the donuts before Tasha could get anywhere near them! Not a huge deal, just sad that we had to pay for the same donuts twice that day because our dog decided she wanted a sugary treat too.
In other Tasha news, when we were looking up information on huskies as a breed, we read that they don't shed a ton except for twice a year when they blow their coat. As summer approaches, her body has decided it is time to get rid of that pesky, too warm undercoat... but we had no idea exactly what blowing her coat looked like. Well... it looks kind of like this:
Also, we have a feeling that she isn't even close to being done blowing her coat yet, and could probably create another pile or two of hair like this again already, in addition to the large quantity of hair that we had brushed out before that photo, and the large quantity of grey hair being found all over the house these days.
For her sake, we are glad she is getting rid of the extra fur, as she does live in California, and we hate the thought of her being too hot out there on a daily basis.
She keeps us on our toes, and actually helps keep our house more picked up, because pretty much anything within reach is fair game for Tasha to get, eat and destroy!
In other news, I am officially on summer, and look forward to having time to blog, read, go to the gym, and overall relax. We are still working on getting our paperwork together for the dossier, and while I hate that it is taking so long to do, I keep trusting that God has a plan and a reason for the delay, and me stressing about it doesn't do anything to make it faster.
