We’ve had the new addition to the farm for almost two weeks now, and unlike most females I’ve had experience with after only two short weeks she is starting to listen.
Most females I end up with listen for the first two weeks then after that I’m “talking to the hand.”
However after only two weeks, the new dog is starting to listen. Unfortunately she has been listening to me calling her Little Pup so I have a feeling that is going to be the name she gets stuck with.
We had several good and not so good suggestions like, Snow, Snowflake. Dutchess, Scoops, Rosebud and one sick individual that just wanted to hear me driving around the countryside hollering “STELLAAAA.”
After I heard about her and the big dogs escapades last week I thought of one more to add.
Friday, I had two people inform me that there were three white dogs stopping traffic on U.S. 281 and NE 100th Avenue.
I drove up there to find Jerry Munden with my three wayward dogs camping in the back of his truck to keep them out of the road.
He told me Lightning was standing in the middle of the road with trucks stopped and honking their horns at the trio.
At least Little Pup learned if you’re going to run with the big dogs you had better keep up or it will be a long lonely walk back to the farm.
I considered, since she was probably last in the line of three, I might paint her butt safety orange and name her traffic cone, or speed bump.
I think I will still hold a contest next week to pick one of the top five suggested names for Little Pup’s surname.
The longer her name is, the less room I’ll have to insert those spur of the moment adjectives when I’m rescuing the lot of them from one-coming traffic.
