Miss Greta…Still just one big puppy!! 2/10/2008

Miss Greta is still doing fine after her spaying. She is right back to her normal self. My husband took her for a nice long walk this morning. Miss Greta loved it.  So now my husband is taking a nap and Miss Greta is still raring to go!!! I wish we could bottle some of that energy cause I could certainly use it!:)

Every morning my husband leaves for work before I do. So before I leave for work, I let Greta outside for a while. Getting her back in is another ordeal! It is a good thing that we don’t have neighbors around, as for sure they would have me committed. I will open the door and call her to come in and she just stands there and looks at me like I had 2 heads. Then just turns the other way a pretends she never even saw me.

So here are some of the stupid tricks I’ve tried: Ready? I have actually rang our door bell and pretended someone was here. Oh sure she perks her ears up and she looks at the house, but that’s about as far as that one goes. Then I take ALL of her toys to the door thinking that will lure her in. I jump around, squeak them and act all excited. Again the stare and off she goes. I have also resorted to taking pieces of cheese and making a line from outside coming into the house. (ya know like Hansel and Gretel?) Honestly, that does seem to work. So it takes approximately 20-30 minutes of MY insane behaviour to get her in! And yet I love her to death. Go figure!

I have some new pictures of Miss Greta with her favorite toys. This is Greta walking around with her toys in her mouth looking for anyone to play with her.

Here she is with TWO toys in her mouth. She actually tries to get every one of her toys in her mouth at one time.

And here is Miss Greta just trying to look cute and hoping that will draw some attention to herself.

Yup, it’s still all about Miss Greta. Our home revolves around the girl. Of course that is fine since it is just myself and my husband. But when visitors come…watch out!!! Greta just sees new playmates when anyone walks in the door. Maybe that’s why we don’t get many guests anymore! 🙂 Just kidding! Although it is difficult when the smaller grandchildren come over. Miss Greta is definitely in the herding mode then. She won’t leave them alone!

All in all, she is a sweetheart and we love her to death. Oh and the chihuahua, Ren is still here too. We NEVER put the two of them together. Miss Greta would pummel him in 2 seconds flat. And Ren is just a little old man who can’t hear too well anymore. I think that Greta thinks Ren is just one of her toys! So for now, they  live separate lives in the same household!

Till next time………….
