It is storming, pouring rain, thunder and lightening. Trip is happily sprawled across the living room, completely relaxed and safe from that awful storm monster. Sound asleep and Splooting. The black blob at his head is Parker. I tried to get him in the picture too, but a splooting Great Pyrenees takes the whole picture. LOL
Yesterday, or rather Sunday. DH was working on the barn cams getting ready for kidding.
I could see on the monitor, "D". He was in one of the stalls.
It was cold (for me anyway) and rainy. I put on my bibs and jacket and went out and sat in the stall with him... just cuz.
When I first went in he smiled and smiled. He flipped over into my lap.
I just smooched all over his face. I think I could just inhale that boy.
I love him so much.That boy is my dog through and through. I stayed out there a long time, just rubbing his belly, rubbing behind his ears, smooching his muzzle.
I was whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Like, "you are my boy, I just love you so much! You are the best dog in the world!" He was so relaxed and confortable.
It was hard to leave.... and then there was Chunk... so of course I went in with him... and of course did all the same.
Love these dogs.
D's eyes though... they melt me like no other dog ever has.
This morning, after milking the girls, I went into the goat yard, to feed the girls cabbage, for treats, and spend time with the dogs. As they are known to do, the dogs were putting their front paws on the tree stumps, so I could cuddle them. They would get a cuddle and go off, only to turn around and come back for more. First Deo, then Violet. Then both, one on each side.
As they came and went, I would call to Angelica and point to the stump next to the dogs. She would jump onto it, so I could scratch her back. Then, she would kick up her heels, jump up in the air, with tail wagging and run off, only to jump up on the end stump and jump over to the stump next to me. At one point she jumped so high, she jumped right over Deo's back. It was so sweet!
As I cuddled the dogs, I kept looking in their eyes I would stoke their faces and tell them how much they are loved. They are such cuddle bugs! I kept telling them what love sponges they are! they would run off and come back for more back!
Just found the "Thread" and I'm not sure if this is considered a sploot....or a semi-sploot....but, will let ya judge.....and she isn't a true LGD breed, but she is gonna be Large and a guardian.... ....she is keeping an eye on her stuff to make sure it survives the rain storm we are getting here....and guarding me at the same time....
I love this! Heidi was a reverse splooter. If I can find pics, I’ll post them. I haven’t noticed any of the other dogs “splooting” but I’ll be on the watch now!
