Cissy's Rules

Our weather today has been more like a warm spring day, rather than December.  The dogs were feeling frisky on our afternoon walk.  Cissy doesn't wait for warmer weather to feel good, she feels frisky on most days. We were on the far-side of our property where the tall grass marks the boundary. The driveway for the home in back of us is on the other side, and the dogs who are off lead, know not to cross.  Cissy went into the grass, and stood there for a moment.  I had a feeling about what she was about to do.  I told her "no" and to come to me.
The warm weather must have been getting to her because she was suddenly deaf.  I watched her turn left and look.
I told her no again, as she looked right...
And as if she knew no cars were coming, she was off and running, and so was I!  Thankfully I caught her before she got too far. But I've a feeling that Cissy is under the impression that the rules don't apply to her.  Okay, she's right about that, but I'm not going to tell her.  But then again, she may already know.
We hope you're enjoying your weekend and your holidays!

  4. My dad used to have selective deafness so no reason dogs shouldn't have it too.
    The pic of the tree and Todd is a delight.

  19. Hi Kim;
    Oh that silly pup Cissy! I have a few rescue cats that do as they please as well and make me a nervous wreck with their antics and risk taking! I hope you and yours are doing well? Have a lovely day and hugs to the "gang"!'

  20. I love the way they look at you trying to judge if it's possible to make a break for it. Obviously she decided it was. Glad you caught up before she got in trouble.

  26. What a wonderful series of photos! You caught what my trainers call the "decisive moment" absolutely perfectly. I'm glad you caught her quickly. It's wonderful that she has her own rules. Every dog should :)

    I adore that last photo of Todd.

  27. Even though she was naughty this time around, I continue to love seeing pictures of Cissy and hearing about her adventures. It makes my day every time to see her and think about both of you :).
