Abby and Her Reactions

MtnMan used to send her into my cam room when he was home. She thought it was a game. He’d send her my way, she’d poke her head out, he’d tell her “get on your bed” and she’d jump across the room and lay down like she’d been there the whole time. Once she was sure he was no longer standing outside the room, she’d creep to the door and watch for him, if he moved she’d leap across the room back on her bed. This went on for months.

When it’s just her and I, she spends part of her time in the cam room with me and the other part in her living room. If it’s close to the time he gets home, she sits at the back door waiting. As soon as she hears the garage door, she quickly grabs a buddy and skidaddles to the cam room, then peers out the door watching for him to walk in. When she sees him, her entire tail wags with so much gusto that her hips swing side to side hitting one side of the door frame and then the other.. it’s quite comical.

Yesterday (Sunday) was our day off and we always spend it together, however, taking off during the holidays got me behind on the site, so I stayed home while MtnMan was out and about. That meant Abby also stayed behind. He forgot to take a case of vodka with him that we picked up for someone, so he returned home at an odd time. Abby was not ready, nor was she prepared. She was napping in the living room when the back door opened and she tried to skiddaddle to my office but was not quick enough. When she realized there was not time and she was caught, she turned back around and in her grumpiest fashion barked at him, following that up with a gruff.

We laughed so hard, and she just sat there looking at him… probably thinking, dude, it’s not time. What the heck, guys.

Anyway, thought it was blog worthy…
