I learned a new word

I learned a new word last night, very late at night.

It was dark and raining, and JK had already gone to bed.  I couldn't get into the big bed with her yet, because I could hear sounds all around and I had to keep watch because Mr. Wolf was not at home.  So I stayed out in the living room so I could scare everyone away who walked near the door.  I barked and howled and jumped out of my bed over and over.  I don't know what people were doing out there last night, but they sure were making me work hard to protect JK. 

To pass the time in between guard duties, I also decided to go into the bathroom and inspect the can of trash.  There were all kinds of interesting things in there, so I decided to take everything out and take some of the things with me into the living room. 

JK heard me in the bathroom and came out of the bedroom, very tired and sad looking, and told me that she was "ready to defenstrate" me.  She then explained that that means "throw me out the window"!  Wow!  I was scared at first when I heard that, because I didn't want her to throw me out the window.  But then she kissed my head and held my face in her hands and looked into my eyes and said "I love you, but you are driving me absolutely CRAZY!".

She was mad, I think.

Me on the couch, keeping watch.

I know she was mad that I had an accident on the floor.  It's hard sometimes for me to do all my business outside at the right times.  Last night, it was raining really hard when JK and I went out before bed.  I didn't want to be outside, and neither did JK, but she made me go and walk until I had done something.  But I guess it was not enough, because late at night I had to go again.  JK was asleep, so I had to just go.  She was very unhappy when she saw the puddle.  She scolded me and carried me over to the spot and pointed and said "NO!" really sternly.  I don't like it when JK is mad.  I want to make her happy all the time.  But I guess I did not do a good job of that last night.

Once all my guarding and peeing and trash removal was complete, I jumped up into the big bed with JK and we slept snuggled together, so I know that she forgave me.
