You know what I love most about Mountain Barbie? Her eternal optimism. She honestly believes that one of these days as she leaps with wild enthusiasm onto our bed at five in the morning, EVERY morning, that she will be greeted with equal unabashed joy instead of a “GET OFF MY FACE!” She believes that one of these days as she (warning! ew alert!) licks the kitten’s butt, said kitten won’t slap her across the face — with claws.
She believes that one of these days if she wolves her food down in two seconds flat, we’ll give her more, especially if she gives us the huge hound dog eyes and adds a soulful whine. And most of all, she believes that one of these days, as she attempts to run into the house with a five foot branch sticking out either side of her mouth, that she won’t be thwarted by the three foot wide opening of said door.
Eternal optimism.
But then again, she also believes that humans enjoy her nose in their crotch and that it’s okay to drink out of the toilet.
Thank God she’s pretty.

Ah, just a doll, that Mountain Barbie is.
Jill! I didn’t see you in San Fran - why is this??? I looked and looked…maybe I’ll blame BadBarb. I had cookies! I still have them too.
Had a wonderful time and wish it didn’t end so soon. It was a gorgeous city and the weather was perfect.

Yeah, it’s a good thing being beautiful will get you places in life, cause all her other qualities will just get her in the doghouse!!! lol

She is so cute, and you must admit she keeps things interesting. I bet she missed you when you were gone.

I missed her while I was gone. And Sadie The Cat has had quite the adventure that I’ll tell you about in an upcoming post, involving a heater vent and getting stuck . . .

P.S. How could I forget to mention that I read Flashpoint, loved it and am already more than half way through Flashback. Loving these American Heroes! Can’t wait to find out what is going to happen with Kenzie & Aidan.

Hi Jill,
Thank you for stopping by my blog!
Your dog sounds wonderful…except the nose in the crotch thing, that is always embarrassing.

That’s all true [and as funny] when you apply it to people as well :X.

It’s a good thing she is pretty and you love her, because I don’t know that I could deal with that much optimism.
