running underfoot as you carry laundry down the stairs

running underfoot while you carry the baby upstairs

purposely tripping you while carrying knives fresh from the dishwasher

crying until you personally escort him to eat his food

perching on the ledge of the tub and staring at you while you try to read a magazine

shedding hair that retains the same texture as spun sugar

hairballs. hairballs. hairballs.

ha ha...yep...customary scratching and "nesting" in the dog bed a nightly thing around here too. it only took me a year to realize that if i want a nap interrupted, leave the shutters open so that said beasts can bark at anything with legs going by...
wouldn't trade our FOUR greyhounds for anything though!
