Life According to Laney

When the kids are in school Laney is bored. 
Bored, 
bored, 
Booooooored. 
But when it's lunch time she's ready to play!
Laney has major FOMO (fear of missing out), and she hates it when we go up into the treehouse without her.  Last week Daddy was working on the treehouse while the rest of us were gone and she jumped up four steps on the ladder to be with him, then she was stuck.  She couldn't get up or down, silly pup!
Laney has figured out a clever trick- she likes to go out the back door, which is in the sunroom.  
The door only has a screen and is thereby not easily scratched.  If she doesn't get let back inside in a timely manner, she just trots around to the front door where she can easily scratch on the glass and get let in.  Smart pup!
Laney is always on the lookout for squirrels, deer, 
and other uninvited intruders that might be trying to get close to her family. 
So naturally her mind cannot comprehend the presence of Tater Tot.  
What is this creature that has invaded our house??
Let me get a closer sniff.
Laney has sort of calmed down about the guinea pig, but she doesn't like it when she tries to take something out of my hand.  

Still, Laney has definitely risen to "Everyone's Favorite Pet" status in this house.  She can use the bathroom outside, she does tricks, she plays fetch, she's snuggly and sweet and she gets so excited when we get home! Tater Tot just poops and hides and makes a mess with her hay.  She's cute and fun to watch but she's a lot of work, she's not super snuggly and she hardly has the personality of a pup.  

It just took getting another pet for us to fully realize just how awesome Laney is!  We are all so glad we have a dog!
