Hi, I am Gypsy Dancer

 


Lost Mule Lodge

… a journey that began with a cabin in the woods


Hi there – it is good to finally meet you. For some reason we have not been introduced yet.  When I saw the post about those stupid chickens – I knew it was time for me to take matters into my own paws.


I am Gypsy… Gypsy Dancer when I am in big trouble. Every time anybody does something wrong – they are immediately identified by both names. So mostly I am called Gypsy Dancer. I am 12 weeks old now, but have been living with these empty nesters for a whole month now. I have a brother and sister that live here too.  But make no mistake –

I am the biggest.

I am the smartest.

I am the fastest.

I am the strongest.

This is Bella, my step sister, and a tattle tale.  She is old, wise and tired… mostly she is tired of me. She never does anything wrong, so I have no idea what her middle name is.

This is Jesse – he is my brother from another mother. I adore him because he plays with me. Here is a picture I found of me winning a wrestling match!  I am really putting a move on him, because I am stronger than him.

Our kitchen looks like the Ring of Honor Wrestling commercials on most afternoons.  I wrestle with him to prove that I am bigger and stronger than him.  I will let you in a little secret, I have a tiny crush on Jesse.

Jesse’s middle name is James. I have heard it a time or two. Mostly when he steals things.

Like the time I found the perfect stick, Jesse stole it from me and put it in the woods. He steals every stick I find.  The woods are an absolute MESS now. It is going to take me forever to get all those sticks picked up.  I would bet you would find more than my sticks in those woods…  I have heard stories about him stealing drills, hammers, tape and even a screwdriver.  All in the woods…  Just sayin’.

Jesse and I are both Belgian Tervuren Shepherds.  We are from a town in Belgium called Tervuren – well actually we have ancestors from Belgium, we were born in the beautiful state of Missouri.

Let’s talk potty training, other K9’s refer to this as “housebreaking”… but remember, I belong to empty nesters and they keep calling it potty training.  Whatever you call it – it means I am to potty outdoors…  each and every single time with zero exceptions.

Let me make it perfectly clear… It is not my fault that it takes them forever to put on their shoes, gloves, hat and coat and attach my leash – I can only hold it for so long… what do they expect?

I like it here, these empty nesters can be obnoxious sometimes with all their rules and face kisses. I get in a lot of trouble because Bella is always tattling on me.  But everyone loves me and I am fed well.

I have to go now, there are so many table legs and chairs that I still need to sink my teeth into – and this blogging thing is hard without opposed thumbs.

I am happy we finally met.

Life is Good!

    “Cute”… you’re just so darned cute Gypsy Dancer, you’re the puppy that everyone wants to pick up and cuddle and kiss and rock back and forth like a baby in our arms!!! Be kind to your older and wiser step sister, Bella, remember, she’s tired and you will be too… someday. Learn from your Brother, Jesse… playing with him is your reward. But most of all, listen to your Mommy and Daddy; they always know best and someday you’ll understand.

      Hello there Mary – I know you are right about them knowing best – but I just want to run free and chase the rabbits and squirrels, but they say I am still to young. Thank you for saying I am cute. I saw myself in the mirror and you are right – I am cute! Thank you for commenting – I am getting a cookie for each comment – so Yummy!!

      Hi its Dave again I think you are probably smarter than me, you had no mistakes in your blog, my comment went a bit wrong at the end. Should read ” years you will be tho.”

      • teresa.peters@live.com

        Hi Dave – I totally understand – you might try using your opposed thumbs. I love that you read and took time to comment on my blog – Thanks to you I am eating very well. I will be writing again – the pay tastes good and I have lots and lots of material.

    Gypsy girl, you are so cute and smart and clever. Even though Bella might lose her patience with you, I’m sure she loves you and the energy you bring to the house. It makes her remember when she was a puppy. You are the luckiest doggie girl in the world to be with such a great family! Keep them in line.

    • teresa.peters@live.com

      Hey Vicki – I feel like I know you – I have seen pics of your sweet pups on Facebook – I saw one time where someone told you they were spoiled… Well, i am here to tell you they are NOT spoiled, just loved. Thank you for reading this and taking time to leave such a nice comment. Tell your doggies hello for me!
