(1,136 posts)I sit on the floor and let my 3 year old boxer pup crawl in my lap....she gives the absolute best hugs and sit right there with her head on my shoulder while my stress melts away.

(6,151 posts)I suppose some passersby might not understand our M.O. at home; when bad weather has kept us cooped up too long and we can finally enjoy good outdoor weather, I throw the ball for the girls and they tussle over that as if they're starving and it's the last piece of bread in the world. When I get tired, I sit down in an adirondack chair and Molly Maguire and Bridgid play queen of the mountain trying to evict each other from my lap. In between times both dogs tear around the yard growling and barking and biting like they're trying to rip each other's throat out. They do play awfully rough, but it's still play. Once they're as tired as I am, both crowd in my lap together and start washing faces. The last phase only lasts a few minutes, then they're at it again.
Personally, I think both those hounds are Irish as they come. I never should've told Molly, though, because she blabbed to Brigid, and look what happened. It's really my fault as usual.
