Day 3: A Late-Nite Dip and Stalking the Cat!
Published by Deb under Geddy Lee, Music, Solstice Son, Water Sports on 8:23 PM
Well the last 24 hours have been exciting! Late last night Soul had to make a "potty" run - so out the back door we went. Have I mentioned that the hubby has yet to place any light other than solar lights on the deck and in th
e lakeside yard?
Well Soul took off for his regular area where he takes care of business...and I was on the phone with my girl Shana when all of a sudden he disappeared from under the tree and I couldn't see him! I immediately started to panic thinking he had run for the front of the house and toward the road...or perhaps toward the lake? I hollered his name a few times, clapped my hands, and then told Shana to hold on just as I heard a large splash...
Yes - Solstice had decided to take a little "midnight" dip! As he came bounding up the hill at a pace such as that of having the devil on his tail...I am assuming it wasn't one that he planned! :-) You see, the lake is at the bottom of a little hill and he has been bound and determined to roll down it several times. During the daylight hours, it is easy to stop him...at night...well as we found not so!
He was none worse for the wear except for some wet, soggy channel sludge stuck to his belly and I guess it taught us both a lesson as now when the lights go out - we use the leash!
Today was a tiring day - as I am a little under the weather...and Soul is not! Full of spit and vinegar - he decided that nothing was going to wear him out! So after three jogs around the house, a rambunctious game of ball, and a small tug of war involving my new Aero jeans and shoestrings...we both laid down on the floor (he in his crate and me in front of it) and crashed...that was before noon.
Round 2: Well Geddy Lee (the resident feline) has decided he really likes his new brother...especially when he gnaws on his neck and scratches his ears. When Geddy gets tired of Soul's play or Soul gets a little too dominant...a quick left and then a right (he's declawed) sends little bro
rolling. What is great (and I'm trying to get it on video) is the way Soul stalks the cat. He perks his little ears up, lays close to the floor and pretty much pulls an Elmer Fudd (Be vewy vewy quiet...type of thing) before he pounces! Freaking awesome!
Lesson today: Leash training. More Soul walking me with the leash proudly held in his mouth. The prance is another need to catch on video!
Picture video to come soon!!!
