tula's house of horrors

hi every bloggie!

Wow you might know already but if not, I have big news. My cousin Tula moved. Yep she's got herself a new lily pad. It's not too far away - so today when I went on my run, I made sure we stopped by. See mom was over there yesterday helping unpack. Tula was not happy at all. She was furry furry scared of the floors. Being a big girl, she loved having carpeting beneath her toes but her new place doesn't have it. Fun Aunt Dee made a patchwork of throw rugs to pave a path. She even sprinkled treats on the floor to entice her... but nope. Furry furry scared!
So I showed up! First I wanted to see if Tula and FAD liked my housewarming gifts! I see they are properly displayed.
Yeppers... froggers for the lily pad.
This peeper is so much fun! Shhh .....I really wanted to keep him but someone wouldn't let me.
I was Tula's first visitor! We decided it was best to play outside first. Inside is something new for us- we've only played outside together and that's only been recently. Plus Tula can be a bit nutty about her beddie bye, her food bowl, her toys, her bones, her water dish... I think you get the point. So Tula put her safety gear on and we went to her own furry nice backyard.
Hee hee... a little message from me!
I proudly stood by it although FAD was NOT too pleased.
But I had to show Tula that the backyard is furry funballs. You can write your name all over and do other things.

Okay - close your eyes if you don't like animal abuse. Poor tula has been ball of anxiety and then this happened.
FAD thought the monstah sized leafs would look lovely on Tula. Gimme a break. I'm trying to help her like her new pad - don't impede my progress please.
Then we moved inside... dun dun dun.. the house of horrors to walk on the wicked evil floors. My training trick? I waved my delightful furry fun side at her.
And guess what.. they don't call me a bait dog for nothing.
She fell for it. And look.. she even went further into the house.
She did it! I hope she invites me over for a dinnah pawtee now!
norwood done!

  9. Gee, Norwood, maybe you have a new career ahead of you as new house exorcist for doggies. I even saw TM's tail wagging in the last movie. Hey! I also saw you get on the couch. Sneaky.

    That is really big wood she has on her floors. I think she will be fine in no time.

    Love the froggie gifts!

  16. Norwood you sure know how to make Tula at ease. You are such a good boy. What no zoomies on that cool floor?
    Nope Dad isn't doing the 10K step thing. He just digs in the dirt while Mom takes us on our walk. She is pretty talented walking 3 dogs at one time..
