H A R L E Y at it again




We have adopted a new addition to our family and his name is Harley. Harley came to us at about 45 lbs. He was very skinny, he now weighs 55lbs, right where he should be. Harley is full of energy and very loyal and faithful. For those of you who are dog lovers and readers, He could be "Marley's" long lost Boxer brother(from the book Marley and Me) We have had him almost 3 months now and not a week goes by that he doesn't do something very dog-like! Well this week was no exception. When we came home from a recent outing, he came running into the garage from outside. I looked as he ran like a blur past me and there was something in his mouth that resembled a stuffed animal. Well noooooo it was a dead gopher! I originally thought he had caught it, but we now think it had met its fate long before Harley found it. He was however, quite proud of his find. He laid it almost at my feet, with his nubby little tail wagging the whole time. G R O S S! You would think he could have at least taken it outside for me. Looking back on it a day later, it is funny, but not at the time. I had to go across the street where they are building a house and ask one of the construction guys to come get it out of the garage for me. I know, I am a wimp, but it really gave me the creeps to think about moving it.
He is lucky we love him so much! I, thankfully have no picture of the gopher, but how can I get mad at this face?
