A Canadian Visitor and the Witness Protection Program

So last week we had a very very important visitor .........the one and only MS SOPHIE LA BRADOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well you can just imagine Archie Toffee and Riley and I preparing for this visit!! We all decided that we absolutely had to go to.....THE ARBORETUM!!!!!!!! So we went to pick her up( oh and her PL of course) Now just a quick "of note" Of course we all know that
Joey......
is Sophie's one and only true love and Archie didn't want Joey to get jealous or anything so Archie told Joey that he would act as Sophie's personal body guard to make sure that NOTHING would happen to her....

Here we are at her hotel(her name was at the front door and it was on the front page of the Boston Globe and stuff)...Archie is telling her(secretly of course) that he will be her undercover body guard while she was in town....

Hee Hee here I am saying hello to Toffee and Riley's PL ..You can't even see my tail it is going so fast....

Archie was sticking to her like glue(he has great work ethic)

And off we all went..It was a beautiful day and the best day we have had yet this spring( Archie said he asked for it for her but he is taking this just a little to far don't ya think?)

HERE WE ARE!!!!!! So we were just standing there telling her all about the place.....

This picture of Toffee is for Eric....

Sophie loves this place!! She has been here before but never in such lovely weather!!!!

SO I really figured that maybe I should show her all the good digging spots.... but she is kind of into her ball..I mean REALLY into it....



And look at this action video of Sophie running and CATCHING her ball!!!

Then we decided to go for a little swim....and Sophie took her ball in with her..I tried to tell her maybe she shouldn't but come on she IS Ms La Brador........

SHE LOST HER BALL.....IN THE STREAM.....OMG........ I was trying to see if I could pat it out

Everyone left to continue the walk but I stayed on a bit to search for it... Oh the humiliation to have her lose her ball IN OUR ARBORETUM.......

OK so we kept on walking and went up to the top of this little hill(where you can see for miles and miles.....)We were having a little snack and stuff and just talking.........this is where the action kind of begins..... See Toffee and Riley were showing us their new vaudeville act...First you ask Riley if he is kookoo for Coco puffs and then you ask him for his paw....... Now Riley takes this very very seriously and REALLY REALLY wanted to impress Sophie..so he was really really concentrating....And Sophie's Pl went a little close for an action shot....Archie and I were still having a little snack.. and we heard a lititle growl...well it was Riley telling Sophie's PL not to get so close when he was performing because he gets a little anxious....




So Sophie went to go back and sit down and then Sophie's Pl saw........BLOOD....YOUARE READING THIS RIGHT....BLOOD on Sophie's back........ Archie jumped up and spun around....... We couldn't find out where it was from.UNTIL WE LOOKED AT THE HER EAR.......RILEY GOT HER ON THE EAR..................ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? FIRST WE LOSE HER BALL AND THEN WE BITE HER EAR??????

WHY IS THERE ALWAYS ONE IN EVERY CROWD?? AND WHY IS IT ALWAYS ONE OF US TERRIERS??????(hee hee what a reputation...) BUT LOOK AT RILEY....HE IS SORT OF LAUGHING.......( actually don't tell Sophie this but it was a stealth bomb terrier performance ..one at a very very high terrier level....spring, attack, no one knows ,not even the victim,and then look surprised....I gotta say it was pretty good but just not for our important visitor)

Now my brother thinking only of himself of course quickly turned to PL...."PL ya gotta help me buddy...I was supposed to be her bodyguard......."

Here is the evidence.....(to tell you the truth we were way more upset than she was...such class.....)

As for Riley??

Archie got him into the witness protection program because we are all afraid that Joey might be a little mad......

And Archie????I think his body guard days are done...

PL2 has a favor..She has been trying to change our header picture and every picture she tries comes out GINORMOUS..which it never has done before.....Any thoughts as to why it is doing this????
