Peanut ButterYesterday was such a gorgeous day. The sun was bright, no clouds in the sky and it felt like it was in the 60's. I had a wonderful day hanging out with the dogs. As I write this I'm thinking of Cliff,and Marty's blogs about their dogs. It's such a wonderful day that I think I'll take the dogs for a walk. The leashes are no where to be found, so I realize my husband has them in his truck again. So the dogs will have to settle for being tied up out front. Now I don't have to tie Gunnar up as he is perfectly content to be wherever Sis is, so she's the one that's anchored to the property. So I proceed to tie her and then I think what a lovely day for them to sit out front and play with their big rubber toys. I mean the kind that you fill with treats that supposedly keep them busy for hours. Well I always line the insides with peanut butter because dogs naturally like peanut butter. So as they are both busy at getting every bit of peanut butter from their toy I putz around the yard. It feels like summer so I'm pinching off dead growth on the plants out front. Suddenly I look up and Gunnar is nowhere in sight. When I go back into the house, there he is laying on the floor, peanut butter jar up to his eyesballs his big black nose showing through the end of the jar. While I try to be firm with my dogs, sometimes they are just too cute! I can just hear his thoughts as he watched me go from one plant to another, "think I'll mosey on up to the house see what I can find". So needless to say we are out of peanut butter and their toys will have to sit unattended for awhile.
