Today is Merida day!
Merida is the middle — and problem — dog of the barndo bunch. She isn’t the boss and isn’t the baby — but she certainly keeps everyone in line. She’s the smartest dog I’ve ever had.
Merida’s quirks and high-points:
- Merida is a counter surfer. She’s been known to eat 17 deviled eggs, 3 smoked pork chops, 6 cherry hand pies, and lick the icing on 1/2 of a cake. She’s FOOD OBSESSED.
- She’s so very smart. She can turn the water on in the bathtub, open and close the treat drawer, she lets herself back in the house by opening the door on her own, and a bajillion things too numerous to mention.
- She is over-the-top to the umpteenth degree. She’s an attention seeker and simply must be in the middle of everything in the most dramatic way possible.
- She’s jealous if attention is given to any other dog or human. She wiggles her entire body, hops, plops down in laps — whatever it takes to pull your attention away from the other 2 hounds.
- She loves everyone! Having said that, she’s the most likely to protect me should the need ever arise.
A photo suitable for framing…
I asked AI to create a photo of Merida worthy of framing. This was the result:
And one more photo since she’s such a good girl…
Now you know: All 12 astronauts that have stepped on the Moon have experienced “lunar hay fever” due to the highly abrasive moon dust, which is said to smell like burnt gunpowder.
