SIT

At our house when Mom wants us to listen to her she says, "Sit".  Maggie takes a deep breath because it is against her grain to listen to Mom the first, second and sometimes third time around, but she does sit.  Angus looks at Mom and sits, I look at Mom and ever since I first stepped into my new home 5 years ago I twirled.  Yes, when Mom says ,"sit"  I twirl like a beautiful ballerina.

Mom has come to accept over the years, that for whatever reason in my brain SIT means TWIRL.  Its a fact of life....

Yesterday Mom was waiting on her hair to change color and stop stinking so she told us we could not sit in her lap until she washed it.  All three of us were lined up in front of her while she was sitting in the recliner waiting for the stink to pass and she looked at us and said, "SIT".

Maggie sit promptly, which made Mom smile, ....Gussie looked at Mom and she looked at him, and he sat, and Mom said "Good job Gussie and Maggie Mae!" and then she looked over at me standing there looking at her, and I could tell she almost didn't want to say it to me, cos sometimes she doesn't want me to get my feelings hurt because I always Twirl, but she looked at me and decided to take the leap of faith, the same one she had taken for five years, and so she said, "Sit Stellie." and I sat and gave her a big pug smile.

Never never give up.

  2. Wow you three, promise me there we treats involved, you didn't do that freebies did you? Or were you just messing with Mom's mind? Give me something, anything so I don't look like the only one that doesn't do the 'SIT' when I'm told to!

  3. Congrats Stella Rose! That is sort of like our "BOW" command. We are supposed to bow before getting a treat. If I even see a treat heading my way I start bowing. But Stanley never bows, he always sits. So we are hoping one day he will actually bow (without being led into it with a treat). Congrats again!

    Your Pals,

    Murphy & Stanley

  6. maybe the magic word is not sit but Stellie? I sith even without a command if I see something what I want to send to my 7 stomachs, no matter what it is or where we are, I park my butt as soon as I hear the noise of wrapping paper :o) My momma put that stinky stuff on her head on saturday too and even when she wears a plastic wrap around her nut, that smell is an offense for efurry doggie nose...

  11. Now, the next time you have to twirl....just keep messin' with her head.

    Roxy sits in ultra slow motion. Usually, we're just told to stand. We all do that well.

  12. OH, Stella Rose, we are so proud of you. Before we got to the end of the post and read the good news, we were going to suggest that Mom tell you to twirl and see if you would sit:)

  13. Oh Stella Rose you just knew that your Mom needed to smile! You were such a good girl. Does Mom's hair look real pretty?
    My Lee has not had her hair done since before October 27 when she went into the hospital ~ oh does she need a hair cut.
    Thanks for being a friend

  15. However you sit, or not, you put a smile on my face every time I stop by--I know your Mom probably still smiles thinking about what you all did for her! :-D!
