Oops I Did It Again...

I was texting Dianne this morning about the drama going on at my house and thought...OMGosh this would just make a great post. I shouldn't have to worry about anyone getting mad if I post about this drama, since there's no chance any of the parties involved read my blog. So I am safe.

Oops I did it again...I made someone mad again. I'm always making the people that live in my house mad at me for some reason...this time, I've pissed off two of the three animals that live with me, Pepper and Freckles are pissed.

Drake is happy. He's out of the pin. Someone broke Tim's sophisticated locking system (aka ratchet strap)so Drake is a free doggie. Free, HUGE, black lab, 2 years old, scared of the water and hates duck hunting Lab. If you know anything at all about Tim, he eats, sleeps and breathes duck hunting and his dog hates it.

Mary Margaret gave him a bath last weekend. She tied him to the deck and turned on the water and I swear...his eyes rolled back in his head and he started flipping like he was having convulsions! Mary Margaret was laughing so hard she was crying. She said "I don't know what people look like on crack...but I'm thinking its something like what Drake is doing now!"

Back to the mad animals...

Pepper is the cat. She is not happy to say the least. Last night she finally realized that I planned on leaving this crazy, cat loving, dog out, she sass-shayed her tail straight up a tree and stayed there protesting loudly.

Now, Freckles, is not so lucky. He can't get away quickly. He's rear is healing nicely from the burn, but, it still hinders him and he really couldn't run too fast before he got burned. So....to make his point that he's mad, anytime Drake comes near him, he turns his burnt balding butt away from him and refuses to look at him. He also ignores me and Im his best friend. Not anymore.

Last night was very dramatic and the tension was thick between Freckles and I. I decided to sit out on the deck with his favorite snack...popcorn with butter. He sniffed the air and looked at me with a look that said..."Oh, that's low, you know Im pissed at you for letting that overgrown child out of his pin!" I just sat there and smiled. He turned his back to me. Drake comes up the deck at lighting speed...(eyes peeled back cause he smelled food and saw me and Freckles together..thinking Im getting food and love from everyone! yay me!) He skids to a stop and Freckles had to turn his back to Drake which put him facing me. HA! He was trapped! I offered him some popcorn and he turned his nose up! Drake seeing this happen was like...shoot dude...I'll eat it! He gently creeps past Freckles (i think he's secretly scared of Freckles...Freckles burn scar makes him look all tough and stuff) and then he sticks his tongue out and I let the popcorn drop on his tongue and he ate it slowly. Freckles snorted and huffed and slunk off to a corner and let me and my new popcorn buddy eat all the popcorn without him.

Honestly, I've never seen Drake be that gentle in my life. Every time I offered the popcorn, he was real careful and stuck his tongue out and waited. Took us like 45 minutes to finish the bowl. Hooolarious.

Last night I got up a couple of times for water, etc. I looked into Taylor's room and who did I see looking in her window? Drake. Wonder if he was trying to figure out how to get inside?

I must have missed something - how did the burned butt happen?
