We'd planned on getting a crew together for sushi and maybe a little dryer fire burnin' action but the crew had some alternate ideas and boy did they end up being fun.
First off, there was the Ultimate Fighting Championships on that night. We got to see perenial badboy Tito Ortiz get his bell rung by Chuck Lidell who used to bartend in a place that P used to frequent in her wilder years down in San Luis Obispo. A pretty amazing fight because I've seen Ortiz utterly pummel the stuffing out of every other guy I've seen him face. And Liddell took it to him and dropped him. Awesome. There were several other really good fights as well but I've no idea who they were.
And besides, I was spending most of the time running interference for Nande among the hulking Brady and Modoc. Both dogs in the 70 pound plus range and Nande at less than half their weights at around 30. Oh yeah, they're both boys and she's a girl too and yes, I did knock Modoc off her later as he tried to literally make her his bitch (fruitlessly because Modoc's got the gun but no bullets) but that was much later.
In the beginning, all three dogs just ran, ran and ran some more out on our friend's deck. There were enough places that Nande could duck out of harm's way when she needed to. For the most part they all went at each pretty equally but it's kind of tough when both of the big dogs were chasing Nande. But there were no growls and no real bites through the entire night. Brady didn't even seem to mind all that much when Nande invaded his den and chewed up his bones and toys.
Anyway, Nande crashed out for a while and I went outside to play with the big guys for a little bit. The deck is long enough to get about five or six good running steps before having to stop. And the two dogs would go skidding by me every time. Back and forth, six feet, eight feet of sliding and they were having a blast. Then John came to look out and I showed him what I'd been doing and, just as I started coming back from the far end, Brady got right in behind me and caught my thigh midupstroke as he was coming down. His was the cleaned clock. Totally unintentional and he was dazed for a little bit. Felt bad for the guy.
Overall, Nande held her own pretty well, she'll get bigger and bigger and stronger and stronger so I'm thinking she'll dominate the two of them.
Oh yeah, here are some new pics Nande imitating Ryan, Nande with floating ball, Nande getting hosed and, finally, Nande wild action ball, which is my favorite of the bunch.
P came up with a new word yesterday,
lethartic - a nice stress relieving exercise that's not very active.
By the way, what happens when you buy a 19 inch tv and a 13 inch tv on the same day? A few weeks later you end up with a 32 inch tv. By the way, its damned heavy.
