CALCULATED MOVES!

I consider Bu a very intelligent animal. She doesn't just let the day unfold....she calculates how she wants her day to go. When she wants things to go her way (which is all the time), she calculates how she will achieve what it is she wants to do. Case in point. One nice spring day I take a look out my back window. Bu and her sister Jess are on the deck. On the deck, there is a dog house. Bu is in the dog house and Jess who is minding her own business is lying on the deck catching the afternoon breeze. All seems peaceful and well in Jess's world. Well Bu decides to change the peaceful rest her sister is enjoying. Out of the dog house Bu parades herself with a mouthful of hay that lines the floor of the dog house. She walks over to her sister and dumps the hay on her head. Jess now is surrounded by the hay that has tumbled down her body except for one piece that is hanging from her eyelash. I laughed so hard, it took me a few minutes to recover. Never in my days of owning German Shepherds have I ever seen a dog so conniving and so calculating as Bu. This is what she lives for....!

YIPPEE!!!! I'VE PUBLISHED MY FIRST BOOK!

I can't believe it.......after all the writing that I've done, I've finally published my first book. Well actually, I've self published it on "Lulu." The name of the book is: "If there's no animals in Heaven, then I'm not going." It's a small book, but it has nine of my short stories about dogs in it's pages. So if you want to check it out, just go on to Lulu and put that title of the book in their search engine. It should pop up at the top of the screen. So I'm excited and now I'm going to have to put more of my stories together and produce my second book! Wish me luck! I've worked very hard for this.

BU MAKES HER OWN RULES

There is never a dull moment when living with Bu. She always comes up with something new. She doesn't like to be bored. When I let her and her sister out of the crate in the morning, she takes a big stretch with her posterior sticking up in the air preventing anyone from walking past her. Then she runs through the house, does a quick turn around and runs back towards me. Next thing I know, she's sliding across the floor stopping just in front of me preventing me from taking another step. I know you knows what she's doing!

BEAUTY IS IN THE BEHOLDER'S EYES!

So for the first few months of Bu's life, she walked around with a half shaven body. It took quite awhile for her hair to grow back in where the vet had shaved it. It didn't matter to Bu, because she strutted around like she was "all that" anyway. Bu could never stay on her four feet for any length of time. She always had to be jumping all over everything and investigating what ever might be new in the house. It could have been the smallest of "something" and she would know that something new was in the house. Her nose would be up in the air trying to smell where this new item just may be. There was no fooling her. She'd find it. Bu was never content having her own toys or bone. She always had to have what her sister had. So Bu would let her sister chew on her bone for awhile, but as soon as Jess looked away, the ownership shifted over to Bu. She now had her sister's half chewed bone and Jess would get the new bone that Bu barely touched. She just had to have what her sister had even if it was half gone. It was a matter of showing who was in control at all times. Bossy little bitch!!!
