As the Canine World Turns: The Continuing Saga

Well, contrary to our best laid plans, Jazzy and Ozzie have extended their stay with us by a couple weeks. It's a long and convoluted story and I won't bore you with the details, but the bottom line is that our pack is still intact. The four of them are settling in with each other and I am still vastly entertained. Apparently, the mounting behavior has gotten old, not only to me, but to the vamp herself, Jazzy. There's been a change in alliance since the last episode. The girls have now bonded and are working together to get the horny boys in check. Whenever either Chuckie or Ozzie starts sniffing around Jazzmin, Lillian growls and warns them away. Ozzie decided tonight that he was going to bluff his way past the intimidation tactics. After all, he and Jazzy have a history together, they have kids! Besides, she's always allowed him to have his way before?! To his unfortunate dismay, he ignored Lillian's warning and tried to mount Jazzmin anyway. At that display of rebellion, as if on cue, both Jazzy and Lillian turned, and in a nice synchronized motion, jumped on him and growled and snarled until he yelled "Uncle." The look on his lil' mushed up face when he got up was just like the MasterCard commercial, "Priceless."

Earlier, the same day:

Jazzy is still following me around pretty closely whenever I move about the house. I decided to work out on my treadmill this evening and for some reason, she thought it would be a good idea to join me. Before I could even eek out a warning, she'd climbed onto the moving treadmill and, yeah, you got it, slid right off the back. She was not physically hurt, but her dignity took quite a beating. She disappeared into the other room for about 10 minutes, growling and snipping at Ozzie when he tried to follow her.

Stay tuned.
