we love playing with our golden retriever, maizy, in the house. we're fortunate that our home has a very open-concept front living area and wrap-around hallway. with 3 huge doorways into that living area (which is currently our office and pet play room LOL), it makes it SO FUN to play tag with maiz! =D
right now hubby is gettin a major aerobic workout, and being outsmarted by maizy as he tries to dodge her by psyching her out running to and from the doorways. hehehe!!
but she knows better! she never gets duped when he switches doorways on her by sneaking around the hallway. LOL! her only setback is the hallway linoleum (while the living area is carpeted--good traction!)...so of course its hilarious to watch her scramble around when hubby lunges at her. HEHE!
maizy, lookin for another hallway race. hehe :)
(i want to get a good action picture of them to put here, but they are just moving too fast! LOL!)
heck, we run a lot in our house. LOL. when my niece and nephew come to visit, its like the indy 500 in here!! i know i shouldnt let them run ;) *innocent aunt look* but they know its only appropriate here and not anywhere else. (i hope. hehe.) but its soooo fun to run in the house! its just important to be barefoot (no slick socks!) for the best results. haha!!
ah well, good times. :)
have a great nite!! hope you find some good ole fun!!

Hi, It's great to have a dog. You know, we have the same type of thing as you describe in our home too. Our foyer is large and the floor is slippery enough for a dog to luge on. When my dad comes by his little beagle, the poor thing slips all over and can barely stand. We have a rug in the center of the floor and she still seems to avoid it and scramble around looking for traction. Thanks for making me chuckle. -Mike
ReplyDeletehey, mike!!
ReplyDeletei can only imagine a squatty little beagle scrambling as she instinctively tries to follow her nose. haha!! my sister has a beagle and you cant get that guy to sit still for anything :)
yes, its great to have a dog for tons of reasons. maizy is such a good dog, and she's entertaining, too--always willing and wanting to play! i was sitting here cracking up, watching them run around like nuts, as i wrote that post...figuring there are gobs of other people out there who have their own version of "hallway racing 500!" at their house, too :D
glad you gotta chuckle!! enjoy the weekend :D
