A sister's perspective




It's me, Bella.  I'm sitting in Kelly's ute.  
After our walk around the track, when we come down to the river,
 to socialise with the other dogs,
 I usually sit here.
And yes, I can jump up by myself.


I sit here to stay away from those crazy dogs.
Especially, Dui!  He loves to attack me.
He's like the Black Knight in Python's Holy Grail.
He never gives up.
He's like a blowfly, always in every dogs' faces.
Dui is naughty and always finding something disgusting to eat.

At home, he rips out plants, de-stuffs stuffies.
AND steals food.  The other day, he tried to get two beef knuckle bones in his mouth.....one being MINE!
He grabs all the treats if they fall on the floor.

And he squeaks LOUDLY when he wants something.
(SHE thinks he may be a castrato now, 
though we're hoping his voice may deepen.) 
He wakes us up at 5 a.m. ready for action.
So far, he can't jump, so I can get away from him.

No one asked me if I wanted a brother.....
He is good company when we're on cat patrol, though.

Mischief, thy name is Macdui.

  1. You might start to get used to him when he grows up a bit. Until then keep the high ground

  2. I feel your pain! No one asked me if I wanted a little sister either! She was a pest the minute she waltzed in here and has remains the bane of my existence. She too gets up at the crack of dawn wanting to play or go outside and Arrooos until she gets her way. She disturbs my beauty sleep and destroys MY toys...then runs around laffin about it! She starts things with other dogs and runs behind me, leaving me to sort everyone out. She is 4 now....and still a freakin PUPPY! I keep hopping she will act her age, but she is the class clown. Pest, thy name is Kenzie!
    Bonnie...big sis to the pesky puppy

  3. Ciara here with a bit of advice for you, Bella. It takes time. Lightning is a little more than three, and I can honestly say that three seems to be the magic number for little brothers to become good buddies:)

  4. Well, sometimes things just don't go real good, but we have a feeling things will pan out and he becomes your pal. It took Bites a year to get used to ME and a little longer to like ME, now we do everything together!

  9. My peeps little brother is 36 and still does little brother antics. He left the door open and a skunk went in his house at 2:30 am and sprayed everywhere. They will always be 'little brothers'. What you need to do is find friends with little brothers so you can share stories. Good luck.

  13. You know Bella, put like that, I am beginning to understand the possibility that a little brother might just be a wee bit irritating at times…

  14. Oh Bella. Good to know that he's got one saving grace.

  15. Well Bella for now at least you can escape to safety but soon Dui will be able to follow you. Oh no, suggest you start future escape plans. Have a terrific Tuesday.
    Best wishes Molly

  17. He'll learn some manners eventually......like in 5 or 6 years! But he'll learn to jump long before then!

    ReplyDelete
  18. He's just like a little kid...always getting into trouble and hopefully, learning along the way! Glad you can still get away from him. That won't last long until he figures out he can jump right after you. BOL

  19. BOL. Sittin in da Ute looks like a smart move. Maybe Dui needs a baby sister to pester him.

  20. OH GIRRRRRL I can TOTALLY feel your PAIN... Getting in the Ute is Brilliant... at least you get SOME relief from the HORROR. Maybe you could put a sign on the gate... PUPPY FUR SALE>>> CHEAP
    I tried to get rid of ERNIE... Oh heck... I am STILL trying to get rid of him... Butt he is still here... driving me CRAZY...
    I think you and I would BOTH have been happier with a BUNNY instead of a brother.

  21. MOL MOL MOL Mischief thy name is MacDui....that cracked mom up.
    Dui is full of himself for sure. Bella bless your little heart having to endure such mischief rolled up in cuteness. We can only hope he will keep his nose to the ground and never be able to get to your safe place.

    Years ago after several sleepless night's due to a new sibling a young boy asked his mom if they could return the baby since he really didn't want it anyway.
    Hugs madi your bfff

  23. Hey Bella!
    Wow, you can really jump high! I'm impressed. Gosh, sounds like Dui is keeping your life entertained. BOL I think my Mom would like to have him if you can box him up and ship him here. I'll have to move out, I think. BWAR HAR HAR

  24. Bella it is a good thing you can jump high. Maybe you can tell HER that DUI needs a little brother or sister of his own to keep him running and you can get a rest.
    Just a thought.

  26. IMAGINE Bella having not ONE but TWO Dui's at your house. YES, it is absolutely horrible and of course now they both can jump to where I am. Mom tries to save me, from them grabbing hold of my back leg and holding me down like they are ready to brand a calf...I scream and mom comes running. I think living here is unsafe for me and they must go.....do you want to come and live wif me?

  27. I thinks sittin' in the Ute is a good move....I thinks it's gonna be a loooong time before he settles! Maybe you should stop over for a margarita....that should make him bearable!!! BOL

  29. Howdy Bella, thank dawg you can get away from Dui for a while. I too feel your pain but added to mine is the slobber on my furs. Ewwww, he's always slobbering on me. Sigh. Having brothers is a trial but I do love my big doofer brother. Won't be long and Dui will settle down. Well, he might. Actually, it might take a while. Take care mates. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

  34. We know just what you mean. Nobody asked us if we wanted two crazy spotty pups to disrupt our lives. But we're got them.
