I’m under the weather (story to come tomorrow) and so I’m running a repeat. Mountain Barbie has been on my mind lately, we all miss her so much. Here’s one of my favorite memories of her:
From last summer:
Mountain Barbie has proven herself aptly named. This week alone, she took out the screen on the sliding door because . . . well, I have no idea. I guess she was in a hurry. She stepped on the cat, by accident. She stuck her big fat head into my chip drawer and ate an entire bag of bbq chips including the bag — my emergency stash! And then she came running inside with muddy feet, not stopping until she’d ran a joyous loop away from me through the entire house.
I might kill her.
But here’s the thing. She’s so damn pretty.
Her latest trick? Trampoline jumping. Middle was out there having some fun . . .
And along comes . . .
Mountain Barbie caught on quick.
If only she could catch onto others things as quick. Like rules. And oh, I don’t know, LISTENING. Coming when I call her, now that would be FANTASTIC.

Big personality in a small being.

First, thank you for sharing such wonderful pics of Middle and Mountain Barbie. They made me smile!
Second, does anyone out there have a dog who’s better behaved than our human children? The only difference between our dog and our human children was that she was furry, didn’t interupt, and she didn’t ask for money.
Third … what makes me think that whatever has you under the weather is *not* contagious?!
