We often had more dogs than people in the house
With the bustle of the holiday there were oh so many places for a pup to turn their attention.
As always, Eko offered his assistance in the kitchen
But Auggie, my mom’s dog, had eyes for only one girl – his old puppy pal – Penny. No matter where my girl went, Auggie enthusiastically tagged along. Auggie is completely enamored with Penny and loves showing off for her.
Auggie would get Penny’s attention with a short bark, then show her just how high he could bounce
Penny was perplexed by the display
Which only caused Auggie to bounce even higher
Like a furry pogo stick, Auggie bounced up and down. Never jumping on Penny, just showing off his dance moves
I have never seen such an elaborate display of affection and clearly neither has Penny. She just stood perplexed, watching Auggie reach ever higherÂ
Undaunted, Auggie went full bi-pedal
After one final, mighty bounce, Auggie stopped with an exhausted sigh. Defeated, like so many guys, in his efforts to woo a lady. And in true lady fashion, that’s exactly when Penny decided to show interest. Penny crashed into her oldest friend and the two ran circles around each other while I did my best to keep the Christmas tree upright.
“You guys bounce, I’ll sink into this couch”
Hope everyone enjoyed a safe, happy and healthy holiday season. If your family and friends were half as excited to see you as Auggie was to see Penny, you’re in good company!
