Buck here again… (the humans love when I take over their blog!!!)…
Well, I did it. I apologized. “Why?” you might ask. I mean, that’s a valid question – I am a Great Pyreneese, after all – why should I have to apologize? I run this farm… it is MINE!! But… I said some not very nice things about the girl that works here last week and, well, I couldn’t take it any longer. The guilt was eating away at me!!!! So today when I heard her blueberry of a car rolling down the gravel drive, I knew I needed to head that direction.
It wasn’t a long walk, and eventually my posse’ showed up in support, but it had to be made. I’ve heard other dogs talk about the “walk of shame” before but I’d never experienced. WOW – it is as bad as I thought!! She saw me coming when she got out of the car, said hello to me, and then I followed her around to the other side, head hung low and trying to figure out what to say. What am I supposed to say??? Seriously??? But the guilt – oh how it was bugging me!! My buddies kept jumping around and even jumped up on her for a moment (I couldn’t help but laugh as she quickly checked for any mud on her clothes!) and I just stood there, frozen, trying to figure out what to say…
Eventually I looked up at her, knowing that I wouldn’t really have to ‘say’ anything (come on – while I can type with my huge paws, I can’t TALK!!! I’m a dog!)… But I knew my eyes would get her. She started talking to me, letting me know that she knew I was sorry and that she understood… And then? She petted me!!! Holy cow I was surprised… this girl just doesn’t do that…
The posse’ and I followed her up to the house and she kept talking to us. It was WEIRD. Lafayette came over with something in his mouth and she eventually got it away from him and threw it (that dog is crazy obsessed with fetch). Guess where it landed! BETWEEN MY PAWS. It was all I could do to not throw back my head and howl but I didn’t. Laff wouldn’t go anywhere near it until I moved. It was hilarious. I just chuckled as we all followed her up to the door. Everyone on the farm knows who’s boss… IT IS BUCK, the GREAT PYRENEES!!!!
Until next time…
