I posted this on face book the other day
“Ok,
Ed's probably going to choke me for this, but it was just too funny.
As many of you know, we have a black lab named Meeko. Meeko's nick
name is "King Licky" because he will lick any part of you
he can get to. Ed is pretty good at holding him just out of reach,
usually telling him, "No licking the Ed!"
Well, today were were out back in the dogs' 1/2 acre, trying to raise a gutter that was so full of ice that it was catching the door. So Ed has his hands up, trying to raise the gutter while I am trying to push a post underneath it. Suddenly Ed jumps. Meeko had noticed that Ed's raised arms had also raised his shirt, and took the opportunity to lick Ed's bare belly! Yes, Meeko is still alive.”

Which
received many likes, a few ROFLs and an in depth conversation with
Ed's youngest daughter about other dogs who have earned Ed's ire over
the years.
Yeah,
Meeko licking Ed's bare belly was hysterical, probably not as funny
as the time he hiked his leg on him, but close.
We've
had roller coaster weather in the last week, and as many of you know,
weather changes affect animal behavior, and all of ours have been
nuts.
King
Licky, AKA Meeko, decided he wanted to follow Katherine down the hall licking her
bare calves. She was not impressed, and more than a little creeped out. The next day, he showed extreme interest in her shoes,
while she was wearing them. It kind of proved what I had been trying
to tell her about those shoes for the last few weeks. Last night, he
found Captain sleeping on the living room floor and started sniffing
her. Of course, that woke her, and she lay there looking at him as if
to say “Really?” Then he licked her! So she hissed at him and he must have heard someone suddenly call him from the kitchen. I was surprised
she was so calm, but then I remembered her previous owner also had a
very large, clumsy, St. Bernard/Boxer/Pit Bull mix, named Bobby. I
could probably write a whole blog post about him. Maybe I will some
time.
Adora
has become my unintentional alarm clock. What she is actually
trying to do is get in bed with me when Ed gets up. She wants to
curl up on my chest and go to sleep. She probably shouldn't announce
herself when she gets in bed. Even if she didn't, the extra
fifteen pounds on my chest would get my attention.
When
I am not available, she either curls up in the blanket we have
stuffed under the back door, on the wood pile next to the wood stove
or underneath the entertainment center. If we would need to find her,
we just have to follow the snoring.
Marshmallow
has taken to sleeping in Katherine's bed, which just annoys Bookworm
to no end. However, Bookworm has decided that the bathroom sink is
the best place to sleep in the house for the time being.
Captain
has claimed my office/workshop, always choosing to lay on what I need
to be working on.
Of
all the animals, “Looney” Libby has probably been the most
calm..maybe its just that she's getting old...Nah, she's up to
something!
Wishing everyone a happy and blessed 2014!
