Our life w/ Lila is never boring......especially when it comes to anything in the outside world!! This past weekend Bru noticed she was REALLY interested in the bushes & he went to check it out. She was coming out w/ a dead baby sparrow!!! Apparently a hawk had already done it's damage & left the body for our hunter canine to locate. We were very thankful it wasn't the Pug who found the deceased - b/c - it would have been an appetizer!!! Lila dropped it & I was able to give it a proper burial ( aka garbage can BUT in one piece ).
Our great huntress.....
We usually take her for a walk first - since we can go a lot farther than w/ the 14y/o Pug & on this particular morning we did just that. Once it was Fests' turn - he & I were 1/2 way down the block & next thing I heard was Bru calling her name rather loudly.......she ran rite past us in the street BUT when I called her name..... she turned around & came rite to me. It was a moment of pride for me - altho Bru was none too happy.
Later that nite we had a severe thunder storm & Trev heard her shaking in her crate from his room & remembered when I used to lay down in front of Bella when she was a pup. He said she immediately settled down as soon as she could smell his hand in her cage. I want to cry when I think of all the nites she huddled in her dog house during storms w/ no one to console her.........now she sleeps thru them :)
Here she is enjoying a bone her God Mom Joan got for her :))

Getting the Routine Down.....
We are well into owning Lila for several weeks now & I really think she is catching on to the flow of her day. She has, hopefully, decided the Bang Estate is not too shabby ! We did have to work on our outdoor behavior a tad....but...she is doing much better.
This was our first out door activity - she didn't mind the mower too much.
And actually felt she had to escort Trev back & forth.....
She did NOT like when he " abandoned " her to mow the easement.....
And went to roll the Pug in protest!!! Fest told her off & all was well :)

She Did What?????
I volunteer @ a stable on Mondays in a hippo therapy program - usually from 1p to 8ish. - & when I returned this particular nite.......I was stopped by son # 1 in the kitchen. He gave me the Reader Digest version of what took place when I was gone. When I went into the bedroom Bru was sitting up waiting for me & explained all that had happened. Apparently, Lila was VERY active & besides wanting to chase EVERYTHING in site when we had gone on walk earlier in the day....she decided to chase birds out of our yard. I'm sure they were VERY dismayed as there has been a feeder in the back yard for over 20 years & nary a canine has ever had an issue! Then she decided to raid my rather large flower pot & consume a portion of last year's dirt, not to mention roll poor Festus on the ground - when all he was doing was his nightly grazing of anything to eat from the earth!
Thee Offender !!!
Her last act was some of her best work - our next door neighbor came out w/ his dog Marcos - a lil guy resembling Buster - & - Lila was SO excited to see not just another canine BUT also our neighbor......she walked right up to our chain link fence & proceeded to climb it!. Bru had put Fest inside & was walking around the patio when he noticed the entire thing! Luckily our animal loving neighbor halted her unorthodox exit & convinced her to stay on the Bang Estate. Need less to say, we now escort our lil lady to the back yard when ever nature calls :)
The not so happy couple :)
