Almost a perfect afternoon on the deck....until Skippa started a fight with my sneakers.

He never really wins, it's 2 against 1. But jeez, it is annoying when you are enjoying a late PM cocktail on the deck on the best day of Spring, so far. While listening to a lovely blend of new and old acoustic music.




Then this happened:



As expected, squirrel made a safe get away. Skippa just wanted to play. No dice.

in a "pay-attention-to-me" sorta way. The sneakers are my beloved Stan Smiths....been wearing them since the 70's. Not the same pair, of course. When Skippa was a puppy, he gnawed both heals and the tongue. Sneakers never forgave him of that transgression.

"I'm gonna pretend to take a big bite out of your foot and shoe, what you gonna do about it mister."

I thought you were going to tell me you were wearing the same sneakers since the '70's.
That would be a reason for doggie to go after them.

Goldens are such sweet dogs.
I used to have them, but then ended up with little Maltese doggies, easier to handle.

Or next year.

He'll be glad when it happens. As long as you don't let him get jealous.
