Sunday with Snickers

Stumpy was given a day pass, yesterday, to visit her friend Snickers.

We had hoped Snickers would provide some good, positive influence to aid in Stumpy's rehabilitation.

Snickers and Stumpy, obviously, had another plan.

Cyndi and Stumpy said...: Sugar, just seeing that smiling face of yours makes for a very happy Valentine's day!

Rottrover, Snickers is a VERY good friend to put up with Stumpy's dirty cattle dog ways.

Barbara, there's nothing better, huh?

Jan, It's an art!

Carey, Snickers dished out just as much as she got.

Terrorzinhos, that's putting it mildly! Happy
Valentine's Day to all of you, too!

OP Pack, I don't think relax is in Snickers' vocabulary! (or Stumpy's unless there is a suitable chair!)

Roo, a game of bitey face is good for a dog! Back at ya!

Heelers, getting Stumpy out to play is a reprieve for me!

Kari, bitey face and zoomies... is there anything better than that?

Phyllis, if she didn't she will!; February 14, 2011 at 4:25 PM

The question still remains, who was teaching who and what?

Happy Valentine's Day.
