Sadie Mae's Latest Adventure
As I've mentioned, Sadie Mae is half Yorkie and half Bichon Frisee. The veterinarian tells me she has the Yorkie's brains and temperament, and the Bichon's sweetness.
Yesterday, she ventured out on the front porch to find an exciting big bug (I think it was a June bug?) with iridescent wings. It was giving out a loud tick-tick-tick, fascinating for an investigating Yorkie. Sadie Mae promptly put the entire live bug into her mouth, clamping her jaws tight.
It continued to tick-tick-tick. Her big dark innocent eyes focused on me. I told her: Drop it!
Unfazed, she looked at me as if to say: Drop what?
Tick-tick-tick. Her jaws were still together. Tick-tick-tick
Sadie Mae! I said, You drop that bug right now!
Her eyes got bigger. What bug? she seemed to mumble through her jaws. Tick-tick-tick.
By now, I was laughing so hard at that innocent look of hers...and trying to figure out how to get that big bug out of her mouth...finally I grabbed a doggie treat from inside the front door. I dropped it a few feet from her, and saw her trying to figure out how to get the treat without dropping her new friend/toy/goodie. Tick-tick-tick. She dropped the bug and went for the treat. Yes, I'm afraid I scooped up the big bug and gave it a proper funeral in the flush. I really did not want bug guts all over the carpet!

Oh how funny - she is worse than my children. My kids found a worm in the driveway and brought it inside to live. I let each of them hold it for a picture and then made them take it back outside. Gross!
Awww.... she was livin' the dream - answering that call of the wild.
Aw, that's too cute. I had to teach my dog to "Drop it!" because he ALWAYS has something in his mouth he's trying to sneak in!
Glad you're back Marion!
