Separation Anxiety

Okay - close the door to this confessional booth - I have a little something to admit. John and Chris do not realize that I am well aware of how they perceive my relationship with Sarah Basset. They tease me all the time about how much more fun I'd have if I let down my guard, played with her and we interacted like two dogs who know how to engage one another.

Well, secretly Miss Basset and I HAVE bonded. The boys don't know it... but we actually trade fashion tips, enjoy lattes together and have girl chats when they are not around. Our icy relationship cover has been working pretty well the past two years... they really think that we can barely stand one another. I even growl at Sarah a lot to really make the drama sell.

But I fear the proverbial cat is out of the bag. I overheard this conversation last night:

John: I think Joy missed Sarah today...

Chris: Yeah right!

John: Seriously, when you two left the house, she actually howled.

Chris: What did it sound like?

John: [Makes A high pitched squeal that sounds like me when I try to howl like a Basset Hound]

Chris: Awwwwwwwwww, that's so sweet........ *sniffle*


So, it seems they may have noticed my separation anxiety when my home girl got to spend the afternoon at the Three Dog Bakery with Chris and I was here at the house with John.

There, are you all happy? I am a dog that might ACTUALLY like the other dog I live with. But they'll never see me display it again... so help me Buddha!


Love ya'll like a bit of gossip too juicy not to share,

Love,
Joy Beagle

PS- Chris always likes read a really good blog by Joshilyn Jackson (an author he LOVES) and I thought this cartoon she posted was fabulous:

I'm Back With A Vengence

Today - for one day I am not referring to myself as Joy Beagle. I am tapping the other side of my roots - and penning this entry as Joy Pitbull.

I'm tiny, 40 meager little pounds - but when you see me pull my cheeks back and my square jaw you can see it clearly. I have Pit Bull in my blood. American? Stafforshire? English? I haven't a clue and neither do my dads. But it is in there and I am proud of it!

With that in mind I offer, with a broken heart, my thanks to the creator of this piece...




Love ya'll like that thing in us we all have to love DESPITE what others think!
