A Little Brut Freedom

 No Brut?  I'm in charge!!

Have you ever been waiting for someone to leave so you can have the house to yourself and do what you want without getting yelled at?  That's what it is like for the Back Dogs when Brut goes for a ride with Daddy or is even outside for a long period.  Silver, Fiona, Zappa and I party down!!  Everyone needs a break from Brut's dictatorship every now and again and we tend to live it up.  The treats come out, the forbidden toys come out and we turn the music up loud!  It sounds horrible I know, I am such a mean mom, but Lord knows that boy deserve to be left out of the party sometimes and the rest of the Back Dogs need the reprieve.

  If you haven't heard, Brut can be like the Drill Sargent keeping everyone in line and on time.  He is always keeping the other three Back Dogs in check and at attention.  So when he's out of the picture you can imagine the wild time we have when we become unleashed.

I'm sure it isn't fair to make a special occasion when Brut is away from his command post but it feels so good to breathe and loosen up for a few minutes without him harping down everyone's neck that I can't help myself.  It may only be for a few minutes or it might be for a few hours, whatever the time is, it is precious.

Zappa especially likes razzing his mom, Silver and usually can't get close enough for any length of time to actually have a good round of bitey face.  So when he gets the opportunity, he takes it.  They can all roll on the floor and cause as much commotion as they want without being sent back to the barracks.

It is so nice to drop my guard for a little while and really enjoy the time with Silver, Zappa and Fiona.  We ALL need a break from Brut sometimes, because we know when he comes back home, rank is pulled and the Brut-miester is back in charge barking out the orders.

 You did WHAT while I was gone??   

Unleash the Beast

I never planned on having the world's most perfectly trained dogs.  From the start of each of my dogs lives, I have wanted them to be the creatures they were born to be.  I have only wanted them to be as close to their natural selves as possible.  There is nothing more sacred than an untamed heart regardless of human comforts.  A place where their souls and spirits run with the wind.  Free to claim their stake of the wild within them.  To blossom into their most authentic selves.  The same beast lies within us and needs to be unleashed as well.  Who says that dogs own the rights to that kind of freedom?  :)
