He Always Makes Me Laugh!

Back in February, I posted about the continuing saga of Wilson and his rug rolling habit. It is a story that continues to amuse me, or in this case, it made me laugh out loud! Wilson (and Cardigans in general) are such silly souls. I walked into the office and was greeted with this scene......

Wilson must have been flopping like a fish out of water to take down the ship's wheel ( I bet there could have been a Wordless Wednesday from this.....Wilson's Wiggle Wapped the Wheel.) He made my day with his odd little habit!

Have a great weekend, Everyone!

I hope it is filled with lots of laughs!

Monday Mischief: The Saga Continues

I've written several times about a cute little habit Wilson has...I'll wait while you get re-acquainted....

Here is the post where I introduced his little quirk:

Wilson's Odd Habit

Next was the story of his little rug in the upstairs office:

Wilson's Rug

And finally, I caught it on video, even making a Wordless Wednesday out of it!

Wilson's Wake-up Wiggle

Ok, so now that you've seen how silly Wilson can be, I have to tell you.....Wilson had his morning "happy roll" so many times, and often so vigorously, that he actually wore out that rug! Yes, he wore it out. It was one of those braided rugs, sewn into a circle with a round hooked center. The rug had been down for many years, over ten at the very least. All of Wilson's rolling loosened the stitching on the braids. I had sewn it several times, but there came a day where we found Wilson all caught up in the rug, waiting for rescue. Safety dictated that the rug must go. I worried Wilson would be sad without his rug, and not take to a replacement.You know how much dogs love a routine! It took a while to find just the right rug for the room, and I really had nothing to worry about.......He took to it like it had been there all along!

I've still got to grab the shots very quickly as he does not like this silly act caught on camera!

You're not trying to take my picture, are you?

The camera always ruins it for Wilson and he stops just as soon as he sees me. Even without a camera, just trying to have a peek, he will stop. I guess his rug dance is a very private affair!

Our Lake Runneth Over

Yesterday was a tough day for the boys, especially Jimmy. We had band after band of loud thunderstorms roll through the area. This sent the guys into hiding down in the basement. It also brought quite a bit of heavy rain. For our morning walk today, I headed toward the lake as I wanted to see if the water level was up. It was! Significantly.....

That grass sticking up well behind Wilson is the normal edge.....

And speaking of something rolling through the area....Jimmy delighted in a bit of  rolling himself! I couldn't see anything, but he knew something was there. Thank goodness it didn't smell!

Less delightful for Jimmy, this act resulted in a hose-down when we got home.

I definitely think this qualifies as mischief, don't you?

Wilson's Rug

You might recall about a month ago I posted about Wilson's Odd Habit . He has his favorite rug that he rolls on every single morning before coming down to the kitchen....Well, he had one of those extra-effort rolls this morning. He really went to town! He starts by scratching and digging at the edge of the rug to lift it enough to get his head under, then proceeds to roll around on his back until he is satisfied the carpet is sufficiently crumpled. If you look closely, you can even see all the toenail marks on the tan carpet. Funny thing is, if you catch him in the act, he immediately stops like he is embarrassed. These Cardigans surely are silly dogs and I wouldn't have it any other way!
