Harry and the perma-chap

Dogs are so funny with their smell thing. When we were at GnG Morgan's house last week it seemed like Harry was going nuts with his face snorting around half way in the dirt. It made sense when they said that deer normally come into their back yard. The deer didn't come that night, however, probably because Harry had marked the territory. I wonder if they know to stay away from all houses with domestic animals. Grandma Collard talked a lot about deer coming there but I don't remember too much about wild animals coming to other houses I have been at with dogs or cats.

And Harry can sniff them out, too. Last night Harry went nuts and when we let him out he went straight to a spot in our yard where a guy was SLEEPING IN THE IVY on the other side of the fence! Slade saw the guy's arm sticking out and at first thought it might have been a dead body or something so he asked the guy if he was ok. I would have preferred to let him alone but it just was strange and unexpected. He was just drunk sleeping it off, but good work Harry. I guess not so easy to hide in our yard now, whoever would want to!

Dogs noses look so funny and Drake came up with a good word for that black skin that they keep moist: PERMACHAP.

Haha. Permachap - very clever, and it sounds like the kind of thing Slade would think of as they are all very clever and funny with words. The kids are getting so clever at this age it is a lot more fun than duck, ball, etc.
