So over Christmas, cousin Theo came to visit us at the Homestead. Theo is a mix of all things adorable and resides in Ohio with Dad's sister. As a general rule, I am not a fan of strange dogs staying at the Homestead with the exception of Captain Half-Pint so the whole experience was a bit upsetting for me. One thing I did enjoy about cousin Theo was that he didn't let a screen porch get in his way of chasing outdoor creatures.
The homestead has a lovely screen porch that separates the house from the backyard and us doggies enjoy laying in the shade and cool concrete on hot days. Theo wasn't keen on having to go through a door to get out of the screen porch so he busted through the bottom half of the screen, creating an opening for us pups to come and go at will. As it was a long, cold, snowy winter, the humans didn't fix the screen immediately. Then two weeks ago, the weather got nice and Mom decided to rip the entire screen porch off the frame. Yahoo! More places to run and free access to the flower beds. Yay! Whoopee!!
Last weekend though, all the fun came to an end. The humans, with help from us pups, rescreened the entire porch again along with a whole new frame. It took the ENTIRE weekend which was a bummer for us as we didn't get to go on our weekend hikes. Alas, we again had to come and go through the screen door to get to the backyard.
And then the pesky rabbit came hippity hopping into the yard. Following Theo's example, I just launched myself head first through the bottom screen and busted all of Mom and Dad's weekend work in one swoop. Came darn close to catching the rabbit too. I came trotting back to the house, proud of myself for my efforts to keep the rabbit out of Mom's tulips. She was going to be so proud of me. It was a short feeling of pride as the humans both met me at the door with the tap of foot and crossed arms. Hmmmmm...me thinks I should have gone through the open door . So much for my weekend hike this weekend....pesky rabbit.
