Remember that awesome snow drift we have in the backyard? You know, the one that is AS TALL AS THE FENCE? It only took her
three weeks, but Smarty Pants Moosey McGee finally figured out that she can walk over the fence right into the neighbors yard and straight into freedom. The only problem with that is our Smarty Pants Moosey McGee is also known as Little-Chicken-Idiot-Dog-Afraid-Of-Everything-But-Barks-Instead-Of-Runs-Away. She has a super annoying bark. And she doesn't stop. And did I mention it's annoying? Yesterday I opened the back door to let her inside and discovered she had figured out how to escape when I saw her desperately trying to jump back over the fence in a place where there was no snow drift, further proof that she is totally the smartest dog in the world. She just ran around to the front door and waited for us to let her in. I thought it was pretty cool that my dog could walk over the fence and couldn't wait to get it on video, but I will never get the chance to show you Super Genius Doggy in action because today she played her favorite game of "Jump over the fence, run to the front door" with a slight variation. She brought a dog catcher with her! Apparently brave Moose Goose was let out the back door by a super awesome three year old nephew that makes me laugh so hard I think I'll need a diaper (E, you really are pretty fantastic) where she then ran up and down the street until she found someone outside and proceeded to bark at them until they called the dog catcher. She has the kind of bark that makes you look for a gun, so really, this was a pretty good outcome. The dog catcher couldn't catch her (super ironic - and I know that she is a naughty dog, but I do feel a little pride in our speedy little devil that outran the dog police!) and instead chased her to our house where the dog catcher informed us that we are lucky this is her 'first offense' but she really needs to be 'tied up or otherwise restrained while she is out of doors.' For real, those dog catchers are not messing around. So a big thank you to my totally awesome big sis for helping me shovel the drifts in my back yard (yep, not joking, shoveled the drifts) and a big No Thank You to Moosey for not waiting until I filmed her escapades to have her run-in with the Pound. She's an idiot, but I love love love my silly pup!
And in other exciting news, I laughed so hard I really did need a diaper when I went out the my car to grab my lesson manual so I could prepare my lesson for tomorrow (don't judge me) and found this.
What is that you ask? That is a statue thingy we have. A little history on the crazy thing: It was a gift for us after Kendall was born. Some of you might see it as beautiful art. We see it as a hilarious weird sculpture that weighs a ton more than it looks like it should. We have joked about it for years and even sent it home with lots of different friends to use as protection! Before we moved last year we decided to donate it with a bunch of other stuff to Goodwill. It made it into a Goodwill box, but a little later we both felt kind of sad about letting it go after the fun we have had with it all these years. The only problem was that we couldn't remember which Goodwill box we had put it in a didn't have the time or the energy to dig through all of them to find it. (Yep, we had that much crap!) Sooooo, awesome hottness husband was carrying the boxes out to the car when the bottom broke open on one of the boxes and out rolls creepy weird statue thingy! It was destined to be with us forever and has held a place of honor in our living room ever since. Fast forward to today. My crazy cool sister and her crazy cool family now live close to us. I have waited ten years to live by them, and they are finally here! They were over hanging out when my BIL invented this totally rad new game. It is called, "Hide the Creepy Statue Thingy in Weird and Random Spots." So far today Statue Thingy has been bummin' on the window sill, chillin' in the fridge, hangin' out on the stairs, restin' on top the microwave and relaxin' in my bathroom sink. After the whole gang left for the night I noticed Green Statue was missing from the bookcase again, and couldn't find her anywhere. Until I went out to the car for my lesson manual that is. Found her! Peed my pants! Yep, it is an awesome game. Sherrie and Jay, you should come play again soon, I can't wait to see where she ends up next! Also, Jay hid a mini snowman in my freezer, which is way funny too. Love you guys!
