Every Picture Tells a Story

This morning I stripped the sheets off the bed and threw them into the washer and promptly forgot about them.  I tossed them into the dryer right before I left for Bible Study this afternoon.  Ivy likes to dig a throne for her Queenly Self amidst our many pillows after I make the bed every morning and I could tell she was upset that the bed was not put back together.  She was restless and spoiling for a fight.

I was gone most of the afternoon and Sam was here with the dogs doing school, so he was the one who heard the commotion and ran for the camera to chronicle Ivy's solution to her "no good place to sleep" dilemma.  (By way of explanation, I must tell you that the pillow belongs to Eve, who has been banished from the furniture and Ivy normally wouldn't think of lying on it.)

 

 

After the scuffle, Eve is trying to figure out what just happened and Ivy is securely ensconced on Eve's throne.

 

 

 

Eve turns to Sam and, yawning, asks for help.  Ivy looks away, "Who, me?"

 

 

 

Ivy ignores them both. 

She all but puts her paws in her ears and sings aloud, "Lalalalalala, I can't hear you!"

 

 

 

Sam isn't helping so Eve tries to push her off.  Ivy's still not listening. 

She's the stone that can't be moved. 

 

 

 

Ivy won't be moved, but Eve persists and they share the pillow until I get home.

 
I brought the clean, dry bedclothes up from the dryer and made the bed. 

 

 

 Having rearranged the pillows to her liking, the Queen is back on her throne. . .

 

Eve's on her pillow. . .

All's right in the world.

Those girls of yours are so funny! I am glad Sam caught all the action on the camera.

Me, too! The funniest part is that I constructed what happened just by looking at the series of photos and Sam said I had the narration down precisely! Both dogs are so predictable. I knew Ivy was not happy about the unmade bed; it was her obvious distress about the situation that caused me to remember and run to the basement before I headed out to your house!

They ARE funny!
I like the colour of their coat - is that unique to vizlas?

I'm not certain, but I think so! In the AKC description of the breed, the color is described as "golden russet." There is a quality about their coats that's more evident when you see the dogs in person and distinguishes it from other red dogs. It's particularly evident when you see one hair on your sweater--the single hairs look like golden, fairy eyelashes.

Every now and then our cat will invade Sally's pillow, but Sally is too afraid of those sharp claws to say much. She usually just stares and looks forlorn, and then I feel sorry for her and remove the cat.

I know the face--a forlorn old doggie does make us feel sorry for them, doesn't it? Eve looks that way sometimes and it melts my heart. Ivy is too ornery to look forlorn--but she does have a way of looking stricken if she doesn't get her way!

This was just too funny. Besides the unconditional love, the best thing about dogs is they make you laugh! Thanks for sharing!

What a priceless series of pictures?! I love the one with both of them on the pillow -- hanging off the edge, but decidedly ON.

Boy, do those pictures remind me of a certain dog I know...Libby would be right there with them.
They are fun, aren't they?!
