Especially for Elle

 Elle left a comment earlier this morning:

My dog died about 4 years ago, and we have not gotten another one yet, instead being currently ruled by two felines. I do wish for another dog, and these quotes make me wish harder. Now I need an Ivy story and picture as a pick me up, please.

Not long after I read her comment, this little Ivy story presented itself.  I had to run for the camera, so I didn't capture the the whole thing, but here you go, Elle:

Ivy's solution to boredom.

Since I had to run for the camera we're missing the first photo, so I'll just take a minute and set the scene.  Eve was snoozing away on her pillow.  Ivy was bored and restless and spoiling for a fight.  She hopped up on the arm of the couch, just to the left of Eve's pillow, with her favorite toy, Leon (yes, Leon, as in Redbone) and she dive-bombed Eve with it, trying to roust her from her pillow and get her to play. 

 

 

 When Eve only sat there, sleepy-headed and trying to figure out what just hit her, Ivy sprang into action.  The tail is wagging furiously.

 

  

 

Here you see the typical doggy "play bow."  Eve is shaking her head and muttering at the 'young pup. '

 

 

 

Here you see Ivy, mid spin, as she frolics and skips in front of Eve, trying to get her to get up and play!  Check out Eve's expression.  "HEY!  Make her leave me alone!"

 

 

 

Eve is up and running now, so Ivy scoops up Leon and runs after her.  (See that red blurr?  That's the toy.  Ivy tossed it after Eve took off)

 

 

 

Here you see her poking Eve with Leon, taunting her with the toy. 

 

 

 

Eve's not buying it.  She circled back around the coffee table and plopped down on her pillow. 

 

  

 

Guess who Ivy wants to play with now? 

 

Look at that face.  We call her Doggy Demando.  I think you can see why.

 

 

 

There she goes again--a big red blurrrrrr.

So!Much!PERSONALITY! Sweet pups...but sweet you for your reason for posting :).

[Elle]

Oh my goodness! I am simply cackling out loud over here in my achy, crampy, steroid rushed induced state. I love, love, love it! Thank you so very, very much. Please give sweet Ivy and Eve some tummy rubs from their friend and fan, Elle. I did appreciate the pictures and plot line immensely.

This reminds me of our dog Sophie - the playful one - and our cat Jack - very laid-back. Sophie is always doing the play-bow to get him going but it never works.

Sophie would have fun with Ivy!

Their facial expressions are just priceless!

Looks like of the "Zoomies" to me. I'm very familiar with the sight of a red blur...

[Leslie]

Robin beat me to it! WHAT PERSONALITY! They both have such great facial expressions. Thanks for sharing this story and the great photographs.

The enthusiasm of youth and the steadiness of age, Eve looks very tolerant.
