Where the heck are my priorities?

"Lassie" is the spunkiest most fun dog I have ever crossed paths with.
She has a way of getting to people, even if you don't like dogs you'll like her.

She loves to jump! She has always been a jumper, just hold up a stick or a toy, even a tree branch will do!

Did I mention she also loves to climb? She will climb whatever, or whomever is available to climb, she loves her perch and being up high.

We have this tree in the backyard, it's huge, and it's high. Have I mentioned that Lassie loves to jump climb and be very, very high. She's pretty much fearless. In this house size is not an issue.

We have a spiral staircase in our family room, she will climb to the top and rest there, while soaking in the view, enjoying her perch where she can get a bird's eye view of everything...I guess it would be a dog's eye view...whatever

Have I mentioned that Lassie LOVE LOVE LOVES Lil' Buckaroo! She adores him and follows him as many places as she can.

Imagine my surprise when I walk into his room and find this:



She couldn't help herself, those damned bumper pads just block any hope of a view she might have! Did I mention this canine can jump? climb? get wherever the heck she wants!!

Controversial....maybe. I should have gotten her out of there just as soon as I saw her, but I just had to get a picture! Heaven Help Me!! What kind of a mom am I?

I've debated for days about putting these pictures up, and I figure I just need to tell it like it is!

Please don't judge me...I'm just staying honest!

I have a distant memory of being concerned that Lassie wouldn't accept Buckaroo. WHEWW! Glad I can put that out of my mind!! Now I need to worry about my priorities being in order...... Wait, what priorities?

That's hilarious! I can just see you looking for the dog and finding her in the baby's room! Great pictures!

Heidi said...

You are a great mom. I think it is cute as long as the dog isn't on the baby's face. Cute Pictures. By the way I have tagged you to find out about it go to my blog.

Wow I can't believe how big he is getting! I would have died if I found a dog in the babies bed! That is too funny. Looks like he has a new best friend! :)

Well, they say a dog is a man's best friend. Your little man just started young. And for what it's worth, I would let her snuggle up to any of my kids. That has to be the most gentle, loving dog I have ever met. Spunky saw the pictures and wanted to know if Lassie could come and sleep in her bed. Awwww.

I think I would have freaked to find a dog in my baby's bed. Looks like they are now forever friends.

Blackeyedsue said...

Those pictures are priceless! They are adorable. And why were you worried about what other people thought? How could you not absolutely love those pictures!? It's not like you were letting a doberman chew your baby's head off while you took a picture. It is obvious how sweet Lassie is with your adorable baby. I love this post!!!

Bilary said...

One more thing...Do you care if I linked you? I love your blog. I always visit you, so I figured I should just link you instead of going through your sister's blog all the time!

Let me know if you would prefer to not be linked on my blog.:)

Can you hear that? It is the sound of my fingers impatiently drumming on my desk.
