Nighttime Romp

For the last several nights, Honey has woken me up barking in the middle of the night.  I though someone or something was messing around my house.  Well, last night I found out what it was.  I have a resident squirrel in my yard.  I have another squirrel trying to move in.  And at 3am, they were having a contest of wills on my roof.  I could hear them running, hissing at each other.  And Honey barking and her bark is so high pitched it feels like an ice pick going through your eardrums.  Daisy had a deep bark and could rattle the windows with it.  Honey can make you wish you were deaf.  Thank the stars that Baby will be over tomorrow for a play date with Honey.  She will be exhausted all day Monday. 

Missy is still going strong like the Energizer bunny.  She can't hear and can only see light, but she can still eat, sleep and she does.  She is 18.  I told my daughter she had better suck up to her nieces and nephews because at the rate Missy is going, she is going to outlive both of us and the nieces and nephews will have to take over.  She shows no signs of really going downhill.  And this dog has never had a sick day.  She goes to the vet for checkups, she has had a fatty deposit removed once.  She went to the vet to be spayed when we first got her.  She is the healthiest dog I have ever had.
