Poocharoo Quirks

Poocharoo has found something new to be afraid of. Last Friday night was the first home football game this fall. The school has a cannon that they shoot off every time the home team scores points. We can hear it all over town and can keep score somewhat by how many times the cannon goes off. They had a good game last week. Pooch showed up at the door begging to get in. Since James fixed the screen (again!) and put a grid over the screen so she can't tear it loose again she also can't knock on the window the way she was doing so she was scratching on the grid and whining to get my attention. The inside door was open since it was a nice night so I could hear her but knew there was no storm. When I went to look she was sitting up looking through the screen and begging to get in. I told her to cut it out and went back to my movie. She can see me in the recliner since all the doors line up. When I tipped my reading light to shine that way I could see her there in the same spot watching me. It wasn't until the second touchdown that I realized what was bothering her. When the third touchdown cannon went off I took pity on her and let her in until the game was over. Thunder, fireworks and now touchdown cannon! The game was away tonight so she had a repreive.

She is also a popcorn Pooch. When I have popcorn left over we have a back step jumping session. Of course any people food works but she does love popcorn second only to cut up chicken skin and breading which I always pull off. I sit on the top step with the dish and she has to sit on the ground below before I will throw it. I don't even have to say "sit" anymore. Catching popcorn outside can be trickiy. If there is any breeze it takes her several tries before she starts to catch them but she chases them all down. I have to limit how much she gets because she starts to wheeze after several because she won't stop to drink until I quit throwing them. Even then she begs for more. She just wriggles in anticipation but usually she won't jump until my hand moves. I think we are both in need of more to entertain us, either that or I have sunk to her level. One of these days I am going to learn how to do mini-movies on my camera . When I do you will probably see more of her antics.

Once again James has walked me through the procedure for transfering the pictures from the camera to the computer. This time I took some notes! So now I can start recording
the journey to visit Deb and Angela. There were over 400 pictures on the camera dating back to Thanksgiving 2009!

Right now it is bedtime and I need to get my feet up so until next time "God Bless".
