Maylie

Our dog is weird! Don't get me wrong, Maylie is a very dear and loved member of this family. But she sure has some odd behaviors. For example:

When I get the hiccups, she gets nervous and tries to find a hiding place. Right, like a 180 pound dog can hide in this house!

Also, she won't eat her food if either of the boys are crying, OR, if she suspects we are leaving the house shortly.

When I was away this past weekend with the boys, Prince Charming said that every time the phone rang, she would get up from a dead sleep (which is how she spends most of her time) and want to be let outside. However, when Prince Charming would go to let her out, she would run from him.

During thunderstorms (YAY Arizona) she tries to get into our small closet and hide.

I am only able to trim her nails (one at a time) when she is in a coma. The trimming usually wakes her up.

When she has been outside for a while and scratches on the door to be let in, I open it and she just stands there and looks at me. So, I shut it, she scratches, I open it, she stands there. This game could go on and on until she finally realizes that she actually wanted to come in.

I could sit here and list many more things that make our Maylie unique. Bottom line, our huge dog complete with her hot breath (don't breathe on me!), her endless supply of drool (and the uncanny ability to get it all over your clean dark pants), her big feet, and her all around freakish nature is very much a part of this family. And, quite frankly, life wouldn't be as much fun without her in it.

Thank you, Maylie, for being you and loving us no matter what. We love you!
