<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well!! I never!!! This little Gracie of ours is just over the top. She is pushy, she is bossy, she is SO lovey dovey and sweet and cute and fun to play with and the very next second she's a total PILL. I outweigh her by a good 20 lbs. And I am slender. HUGE, but very svelt. I mean rottweillers and great danes at the dog park back down when I ahroooooooo at them and let me have their ball. Gracie thinks she's the boss. And she is NOT the boss, for goodness sakes LuLu is the boss everyone know that. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The first week Gracie was here she snarled at me and tried to push me away from the clueless momPerson and I let her have it. I mean I stood on her and screamed my fool head off at her. The clueless momPerson felt that was harsh and hauled me off of sweet little Gracie. HARUMPH. Little thus and so!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since that first week Gracie has proved to be quite the little sister. She snuggles real nice and she love to play and she even likes tennis balls. She is very nimble and can get up on the counter (literally, all 4 feet) and she goes potty outside all by herself without anybody reminding her (unless it's dark or raining in which case you better keep an eye on little Gracie I'm telling you right now) . But she is a little stinker, this Gracie. She will go for the very best spot on the couch or the bed or the chair and then she'll lay there and snarl real quiet if you go to jump up and push her out of your way. She tries to wait first in line for treats and food bowls and she shows her elders no respect. And if she gets konked or stood on she cries fowl.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just last week she shoved me to get past me going down the hall. ME!! 20 lbs and a number of years her senior, not to mention a BOY and she tries to shove me out of the way. So, I rolled her over and stood on her and yelled at her. And what does she do? She screams for the clueless momPerson who came running and tried to haul me off but I wasn't done yet so I grabbed Gracie's ear and momPerson pulled me and I grabbed a little too hard and Gracie SCREAMED and momPerson saw a singular drop of blood and you would have thought I'd slit Gracie's throat. It was the clueless momPerson's FAULT, she had NO business interfering .... but I digress. And then yesterday Gracie started off by jumping up on the counter and stealing a corned beef sandwich and tried to HOARD it!! I tackled her and grabbed it so she yelled and the clueless momPerson took HER side and yelled at ME .... what the heck .... Gracie
stole it!! And then, after momPerson went to work Gracie did it again, she went to push me out of the way and go down the hall first and I turned around and grabbed her by the ear. No clueless momPerson to save her, momPerson was at work so THERE. Gracie yelled at me and the dadPerson came down the haul to see what she was yelling about. Well, there we stood. Or rather, sat. The three of us. I had Gracie by the ear, LuLu was spotting to ensure no fowl play and Gracie was screaming like I don't know what. dadPerson suggested I let go. I thought it over. dadPerson persisted in his opinion that I should let go. He offered cookies. So I let go and we all three went down the hall and had a 3 dog sit and a cookie.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And then when the clueless momPerson came home and heard about all this she had to do her Gracie inspection (my BABY, my BABY). Well she couldn't find a mark on the little brat. Not a bump, not a scratch, nada. I am not a homicidal maniac I am a boy basset hound and I deserve some respect from my baby sister Gracie.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>more later from Snoopy with LuLu (some people's children) and little Gracie (I am NOT a brat I am a Diva and there is no way I am letting Snoopy boss me around)</DIV></div></body></html>
