Sarcasm in a sheepie.

My house has been in shambles for almost two years. My husband started a small renovation and it took forever to finish. As a result, a spare bedroom has been used to store furniture and boxes (and that lead to piles of clothes and other "stuff") all that time.

Hudson is not quite nine months old, so for his whole life that's what that room has looked like. On the weekend, we finally finished the room in question (yeah!) and moved the furniture and boxes out of the bedroom and back where they belong. During this chaos we put him in his kennel for his own safety.

When we let him out, he walked down the hall, stopped dead at the doorway, lowered his ears and his whole body, and walked in very slowly, looking around. As he entered the room he let out a loud, deep growl, and barked as his eyes swept the newly "neater" room. It was his first ever "big dog" bark. (He's still big into the puppy yip yip yip.) I just know he was saying, "Hey...what happened here? Neatness! What's that?"

I felt so good about finally having the space cleaned up, and so love that my puppy had to put in his sarcastic two cents about it. In his defense, this may well be the first neat room he's ever actually seen. But I thought a clean room should warrant a bum wag. Now I realize that my big mistake was in actually cleaning something. 8O Go figure.

Yes your big mistake was in cleaning something!When I had 4 kids under 6 I never cleaned windows or baked cakes.One day I finally felt like I had spare energy.My kids saw me cleaning the windows and said "Oh no,are we moving?" and when they saw the freshly baked cake,my sweet little boy said "Whose birthday is it?" so,yes,big mistake.It only leads to other peoples expectations being raised.
:lol: Sounds like whenever one brother calls I immediately ask, "Who died?" For years that's the only time he'd call me.......keeping me up on family "news."
Dogs are very conservative :roll: Especially those of the island across the Channel origine :) Probably, with the special sence of humour as well :) They hate their owners to change rutine - time of dinner, walking, waking up etc. At list mine always have discontentedly surprised expressions :roll:
Summer doesnt like a clean bed...she prefers it a few days later when she has been in and out of the garden and wiped her feet on it! 8)
Sounds like Snowy. She loves to get in our bed in the morning after Richard goes to work. If I make up the bed she paws at it untill it is messed up again. LOL I just haave to leave it. She sleepes for hours then :D
