More Summer Antics

Summer is still up to mischief, with May as her target. May is becoming more and more of a grand dame with Summer around. Summer has for the past few days been annoying May. She would inch her way to May, plant a sloppy lick on her ear and proceed immediately to nip it with gusto. May retaliates with a ferocious growl carrying the “get off me, you brat” message – which Summer ignores. She launches into full attack. She leaps at May and nips at her. Up May gets and we have another squabble – Summer having the time of her life, and May grumbling “why me?”

Summer is also finding her bark – usually late in the night when she has her “let’s get at May” routine; and also early in the morning. Neighbours would soon come a-complaining I foresee. Her bark at best sounds like a shrill whistle that has not quite found its steam. Yes, it is quite pathetic, but she still tries. Shauna is learning a valuable lesson in not giving up.

Shauna started school yesterday. The husband insisted that mummy and Summer tag along for moral support. So there we were, mother and dog at the back. Car rides are presently the few occasions when the dog is awake and sober. She would sit quietly, slowly inch her way towards me and before long her entire length would be plonked onto me. Today I sat infront as the husband has to drop me off at work after leaving Shauna at school. Summer was most well behaved, seated at the back, with Shaun’s bag in between them. When I got off, Summer gave me the most woeful expression, sending the message “oh dear, one less person to annoy when I get back home?”
