From Pupdates to Ludwig Missing

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

WHERE WERE MOM AND DAD

Xena: Hi Everyone! As we mentioned not long ago, Miss Christy came and stayed with us while Mom and Dad took off without us for two whole nights. I showed her my favorite spot. Then I showed her how fearless I am when I play-attack Lucy. 

Miss Christy said I am as spunky as ever! Oh yeah, we found out that Mommy and Daddy went to a church convention. Here they are with a flat dude. The flat dude’s  name is the Most Reverend Michael Curry. Some of you may might have heard of him. Mommy said she missed us me us very much and the first thing she did when she got home was take us for a nice walk.

FREESTYLE

Xena: I know you have been waiting to see another video of me dancing Freestyle. This one is from my second lesson. 

Since this lesson, I have gotten much better at walking close to Mommy’s legs. She shows me what she wants by holding a wooden spoon with almond butter on it down next to her leg when she walks. Tricky Mommy, but I don’t care. It tastes great and wait ’til you see my next video!

Lucy: Can I go next, Xena?
Xena: No, it’s still my turn.

XENA STANDS UP FOR HERSELF

I mentioned a little while back that I stood up to 2 dogs and They. Backed. Down.  I know y’all have been waiting to hear that story. The first “incident” was when Peyton and Slider’s folks came to pick them up after being groomed. Mommy let me go outside with everybody and while I was trying to make friends Peyton growled and lunged at me. You can see in this picture that Mommy has used her as a guard dog, so I should have been more cautious.Anyhoo, I lunged right back at her. We never actually touched, but I was ready. Her Mom said no one has ever stood up to her before, so Peyton didn’t know what to do and just quit.  The second time was with the dog sitting next to me and Mommy at Freestyle class. We don’t have a picture of this dog, but he is the typical, crazed Border Collie. He was already worked up because he wanted to do Agility instead of Freestyle, then he kept starring at a little girl there, and finally he snarled at me. I stood up and lunged and he pulled away. *wipes paws* That  took care of that!

CHRISTMAS TREE

Xena: Maybe you remember that our tree was still up the beginning of January. I started placing bets on if it would come down before Valentine’s Day, and if so, by how many days.

Lucy: Who were you betting with, Xena?

Xena: Myself. That way I was sure to win. Anyhoo, it’s gone. It disappeared the first week of February. I looked out the window to see if it was in the front yard, but I couldn’t spot it. I also ran through the side woods to try to find it, but I couldn’t smell it anywhere. And I got in trouble for running out of the yard.This red leather chair took over the space. No matter. I won the bet. 

I won the bet, Mommy. Give me a treat.

LUCY AND THE KENNEL

 

Lucy: Everyone was very kind to me when I let y’all know what I got for my birthday – a jail cell. I am very happy to report that I was so good after I saw it that Mommy never had the heart to make me stay in it, not even when both she and Dad left the house. She kept the door open so I could go in and explore, but why would I want to do that?

It is now folded up and leaning against the wall. That was a better present!

MISSING FRIENDS

Xena: That reminds me, I haven’t seen my friends, Brownie Bear or Ludwig or Rainbow Bear or even little Sweetheart Bear for 87 weeks.

Lucy: How on earth did my prison remind you of them?

Xena: They spent a lot of time hanging out in my kennel. Anyhoo, do you know where they are, Lucy?

Lucy: I heard they are hibernating in the guest closet for the winter. Bears do that you know. Of course, Winter Bear is still awake and playing in your kennel ’cause he’s a winter bear.

Xena: But Ludwig’s not a bear…where is he?

Lucy: He’s supposed to be guarding the bears while they sleep all winter. Let’s go take a peek. Xena: HEY YOU BEARS, WHY ARE Y’ALL SLEEPING AND WHERE’S LUDWIG?

Lucy: Shhhhhh Xena, don’t wake them up or they’ll be grumpy. But where is Ludwig?

Xena: *whispering* Maybe he got hungry and went out for a burger and fries.

2 days later

Xena: Hey Lucy, I just checked and Ludwig is still gone. I hope he didn’t get lost. Or eaten by a coyote. Or squished on the road. Or, or… Mommy! Call the Missing Ludwig Po-Po’s and give them Ludwig’s picture. We can post it on all the trees and telephone poles, too.To be continued…

I am Xena the BRAVE Schnauzer Warrior Princess

and I am Lucy the umm, well, the Lovable

  8. We are starting an all points search for Ludwig today. I think that means that Mom is going to look under the furniture and in all the corners of the house.
    You’re right, I don’t want to bite anyone. Neither does mommy. But she’s like me when she has to be, she can scare someone off with just a look, te, he. I’m still working on that.

  11. Charlee: “Way to stand up for yourself, Xena!”
    Chaplin: “That border collie is probably used to dealing with sheep, not with a Warrior Princess.”
    Charlee: “Interesting about the bear’s den. I hope you can track Ludwig down.”
    Chaplin: “If he does have a burger and fries when you find him, can you save me some?”

  16. Hi Granny! Mommy said I’m only allowed one hop or twirl per session. We’re working on that.
    And I found out the Christmas tree was a fake. That’s why it never smelled right. I guess the same tree will be replacing our red chair again later this year. Love, Xena

    Thanks, Miss Toni. XOX Lucy

  17. Xena, you barely touch the floor in your freestyle. Bet your routine with music will be a wild Salsa…and the crowds will roar. It’s wonderful that you are becoming so brave. Just be careful. Some dogs can be very mean and could hurt you..
    Did you know many Zoo’s and sanctuaries take donations of Christmas trees? Seems the wild animals love to eat them.
    Lucy the lovable, that sounds just perfect.

  18. Hi YAM-Aunty. Yep, I’ve been a good girl and no more “incidents.” Of course, there is still the unsolved case of the unidentified fluffy stuffing in the library this past week… XOX Lucy

    HI YAM-AUNTY!! The Right Rev. Dr. Mr. Curry (or whateverhis name is) was present only as a flattie. I don’t think flatties can talk. Um, flying would be good. I will have to find a class in that.Although I am much better at bunny hopping, which is what I did last Monday all the way across the floor to get some chicken treats from my teacher. Then I was so happy I bunny hopped all the way back to Mommy! Hmm, I sure do hope Ludwig comes home OK too; we sure do wish we knew where he is. XOX Xena

    First of all -LLLLUUUDDDDDWWWIIIIIGGGGGGG,,, WHEEERRREEE AARRRREEEE YYYOOOUUUUUUUU??????????????

    Lucy, I like the idea of a folded crate. There if in need, but mostly it’s not! It also means there have been no more incidents which would prompt the unfolding – – – right???

    Xena… you brave little big dog you…The honourable Mr Curry ‘revved’ up audiences here in the UK last year at a big event of the nation and was talked about for weeks after. I do hope mummy and daddy were as inspired and embraced by his speaking at their event.

    Your walking style is definitely improving – now all that’s required is that you have a bit more contact with the ground during it – or are you planning to add flying to your skillz?

    Did you know that whilst nowadays most folks take their tree down on ’12th night (5th January)”, the ancient tradition of Christmas celebration actually went through to Candlemass on Feb 2nd and that is an okay date to keep your tree up to as well? So your mummy was just fine holding on to that tree!

    …oh, I do hope you find Ludwig… hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
