the watcher watching something worth watching
Carol · Jul 8, 2008
iky had her vet check today, she was a good girl thru out it all including her bloodwork. she had me worried when i got home from work tho cuz no iky was staring at me thru the window. iky never takes her eyes off of me, she watches my every move, from the time that my van drives up after work til she sees it drive away the next morning.
i walk into the kitchen and the reason iky is not staring at me is because she is currently busy...she is all involved and quite intent on pulling a loaf of bread out of the fridge. apparently the lasagna, the cookies and the sandwich (whose empty containers littered the floor) were not enough to fill up her belly so she was after the bread to fill it up even more.
so who was watching mr. bootstrap tucker as he learned to find his very own snack? my guess would be iky who wasn't just watching me but was watching someone even more interesting instead.
way to self actualize iky...you'll never get in trouble for learning that skill around here.
We disagree on Tucker's state of mind, Carol, but that's okay. I totally concur that Raymond suffered much worse harm than Tucker, and while Raymond isn't even at the point where contentment is possible, due to his past abuse, it doesn't take much to make Tuck happy. I think Tucker's expectations are so low that almost any positive interaction satisfies him.
Both dogs are safe and loved now, that's all that matters.
