Strider Is In The Dog House

On the outside , looking in!

Strider loves to play in the spray from my garden hose.  He has completely overcome his fear of the hose!  That makes it hard to water my plants.  So I have to shut him out of my garden.  We found a problem with shutting him out, though.

Beautiful Morning Glories!

He runs on the other side of the fence trying to get at the water.  He tore off part of my Morning Glory Vine!  I LOVE my Morning Glory Vine.  Now, he has to go inside while I water.  Not only  that,  but he has to go in his kennel because he jumps at the window trying to get to the water.  Where my stained glass is hanging.

I can't even think about that!

Fun With His Toy

We found the toy like the one he loved so much when he visited Lilly.

He shakes it and runs around with it.

And it has lasted a long time in dog toy days.

It's one of his favorites!

Levi The Cat Is Boss

Strider sat in this submissive position for at least 5 minutes while Levi let out a low rumble from his throat.

Strider finally aggravated Levi to the point of action.  I heard Strider yelp a couple of times and the cat hiss.  Levi had Strider backed up against the front door.  Strider didn't even look at Levi.  For most of the day Strider didn't bark or go near Levi. 

Miah comforts Strider in his humiliation!!
