A Fun New Game

We're having company tomorrow night so I don't know if I'll be able to post tomorrow or not. I have to get the house ready for this visit. It's my dad's uncle coming to work on a Jeep. Not the one that lives near Houston, this one lives in Colorado. This uncle is my most favorite because he likes Jeeps AND he has a black lab and a dachsund at home so he knows how to play with us and where to scratch us. He's going to stay the night with us and then leave the next day. I can't wait!!! I'll try to post for Artsy Fartsy Friday, but I have to make sure all the cool toys are found before then. That reminds me! I need to get Mom take pictures of the new toys Grandma bought us - after I find them! They're sneaky little things!

Okay, now for the fun new game I've learned. When we moved to the new house we got new tags. We got both the rabies and the id. Mom hopes in 2 years they make the rabies tags smaller. Poor Sasha is going to have a hard time holding her head up if they keep getting bigger and bigger! Mom and Dad got me a shiny silver dogbone shaped id tag. You really can't see it very well in this picture, put it's hard to get a picture of this game - you'll understand in a little bit. Okay, so we have a GIANT picture window in the front of the house and then sliding glass doors to the back yard. This game is played in both areas and is equally fun in both locations. In that picture we're in the living room. Mom will be sitting on the couch and I'll stand in front of her just right and the sun will come in the picture window, reflect off my id tag and into Mom's eyes! It's BIG fun!! With the patio doors I have to stand outside to get the sun since it's a covered patio. I can get Mom good if she's walking through the dining room. It's fun to tease Gunnar, too because he'll chase the reflection on the floor. If possible, you guys have to try this game!!!! It's fun!!

There is a warning though. Before I figured out it was a cool game, I was a victim to the fun. I was standing outside Grandma's bedroom door and I kept scratching at the cartpet. Mom thought I had lost my marbles, but then she realized the light was reflecting off my id tag onto the floor and I was chasing it. That was kind of embarassing so that's why I turned it into a game to play with Mom. It's a lot of fun, but Mom hasn't realized that yet. Weirdo! Mom and Dad are thinking about getting me a new id tag. I hope it's really extra shiney and bigger so I can catch more sun!!
