Monday night I took Greta and Fritz out for their last visit with nature before going to bed. Usually they just trot up the hill and do their thing, but last night they ran down the steps and disappeared into the darkness! Ordinarily I would not worry, but we have a Mama Bear and her three babies living in the neighborhood, so I panicked! Not so much for Fritz. He’s smart and a fast runner, but Greta is bold and….well stupid. Or so I thought!
Fritz came right back, but not Greta. I ran for the house, threw the door open and yelled for Hubby to turn on the garage lights. I grabbed a flashlight and started to search for Greta. I walked through the mud and around in the darkness, I even yelled to Hubby that if the bear got me, well, it had been nice while it lasted!
Finally, I decided to come in and get the car. I walked up the steps and Hubby came out of the house and was laughing. I looked at him in horror! What was he laughing about?
“She’s inside.” he said.
“WHAT!”
Yep, she was inside. Apparently she had slipped in when Hubby opened the door to hand me the flashlight and come out to help me. She sat in my chair, and I swear she was laughing at me!

Then on Tuesday morning I was working weeding in the garden. Hubby was checking his fruit trees and my neighbor, Aglaia was weeding her garden when we all heard Greta barking up a storm in the yard. Since we are all still worried about that Bear and her cubs, we all went running. What did we find?
Greta had two Labradors cornered in the Orchard! She had barked at them until they were trapped against the trees! Fritz had her back and she wasn’t letting them move! I hollered at her and then told the poor Labs to go home, which they happily did. They probably were terrified of that crazy dachshund!
I just can’t figure out that girl. 21 pounds and full of wildness!!!
Makes me laugh!

Thursday was Weight Watchers and I lost 2.6 pounds! I feel like I am back on the road again. I have 9 pounds to lose and if all goes well, by the end of the summer this will be done!
Hehe Greta sure is playing with you!! Congrats on the continued weight loss!
Sneaky Greta!!
boo to Hubby for not telling you earlier and letting you get all freaked out! Congrats on the weight loss!
So dogs are just a man’s and not a women’s best friend then? 😆
Great to hear about your loss ….But I have to ask who is the wild and crazy one in the family…hehehe she was in the good seat and you were running around with the bears and a flashlight!!
ROFL! I can just picture a dachshund cornering labs! Not MY lab of course! She’s into cornering her own things! Of course… that’s in her own yard! She might be a wimp in someone else’s yard too. I would have laughed my butt off!
