It seems when I have the chance to sit down and blog about my crazy dog, Blogger doesn't want to cooperate. I have quite a few things to catch all of you, my avid readers, up on. So, without further ado, we'll get started!
First up, there is another woman in my husband's life. She demands his attention, smothers him with affection, and takes up entirely too much room in our bed. She leaves her hair all over the house and destroys my things and only my things, oh, and the pillows, too.
This other woman is Heidi and honestly, if she were a real human woman, I would be afraid for my marriage. Heidi gets so excited for Jeff to come home that the guy can barely get a foot in the door before his face is covered in dog slobber. She jumps up, placing her front legs on his shoulders, giving him a hug and a bazillion kisses before I even have the chance to say "Hello!". She gets jealous when Jeff and I try to hug or smooch, squeezing herself between us. It's clear that Heidi loves Jeff more than she loves me.

He will give her a command and she responds right away. I, on the other hand, need to give the command a solid 6-12 times before she even contemplates listening and responding to it. Little does she know, that is about to change. Jeff will be leaving for an extended period of time soon after the New Year. While he is gone, it is my goal to whip her wiggle butt into shape!
Next up, Heidi caught a lizard. We have a fire pit in our yard that toads and lizards like to use as a hiding place. Well, Heidi has a pretty good sniffer on her and she always knows when something is hiding under the fire pit. More often than not, it's a toad, that burrows itself into the ground a bit, so she can't actually get to it. This time, it was a lizard. Silly thing didn't stand a chance.

Thankfully, she didn't eat it. I think she was a little creeped out by all of the squirming going on her mouth, so she spit him out and off he ran.
Tomorrow, our little family will be celebrating Christmas. We are heading up to the Mitten (Michigan) bright and early Monday morning and wanted to be sure Heidi received her gifts before she is dropped off at the doggy hotel. It's always so hard to leave her there for a week or longer, especially during the holidays, because she is a member of our family. Sometimes she's one of those family members that just drives us bonkers, but we love her regardless. I know she will play with all of her friends at the hotel and enjoy herself for the most part.
Here are just a few of my favorite photos of our girl:
