The crazy woman with the bunny ears was there too! Most of you don't know this story, so get comfortable. I'm going to share it with you.
About a month ago Chris took all three of the dogs rollerblading on one of the bike trails behind our house (yes, occasionally we do call him Cesar Milan). At some point he decided to take a rest and sit on one of the benches the city is so hospitable to provide on these trails. While he is resting a woman comes riding up on her bike (I think he said there was a man with her, but he is not important to the story), and starts saying in a high pitched girly voice "Oh! Look at the puppies! I have to stop and pet the puppies!" or something to that effect.
Our dogs are NOT puppies. This is a picture of them from Christmas 2008:
Katie (light yellow) is an 80 pound bulldozer. Mocha (light brown) is a 60 pound jumping bean (literally anything will spook this dog). Bandit (Husky) is a 40 pound fluff ball, and the sweetest one out of the three. Regardless, they are fully grown dogs - not puppies.Okay, so this nut bag gets off her bike and goes up to our dogs to pet them. Apparently she didn't even ask Chris if they're friendly or if it was okay to pet them. Katie and Bandit surged forward for the attention and Mocha tried to run away. Rabbit Ears asks Chris if maybe Mocha was scared of her helmet. He said "Yeah, probably".
She proceeded to take off the helmet, squat down and make kissy faces at the dogs. Mocha still wanted nothing to do with her, but the other two must have thought it was the kissing booth at the carnival. They went to town and started licking her face. I guess she enjoyed it, because she just allowed them to lick her face and her mouth and kissed them right back. I don't think Chris let her in on the secret that Katie likes to 'recycle' the poop in our backyard, but I don't think that would have stopped her anyway.
Back to Good Morning America. Rabbit Ears was there on her bike this morning!
We left after the first downtown shoot, but I've been told they did another one where they focused on the bike riders downtown. Many people have told me old Rabbit Ears was right in the middle of it all. Man oh man, I promise you, she does not represent the general population of Cedar Falls!
Awesome :) The city's finest representing you! Isn't it crazy - puppies!? A lady down the street from us always calls the dogs sweethearts & pets them & doesn't even aknowledge Bella - clearly they don't have kids! Anyway, bizarre...!
ReplyDeleteyour daughter is disgustingly cute
ReplyDeleteKiera - I would have said 'really really rediculously good looking'.
ReplyDeleteKris - Your neighbor is crazy. B is waaaay cuter than your dogs, even though I do have a soft spot for labs.
#1 - She will be SO embarrassed when you show these pictures to her boyfriend (hee, hee)
ReplyDelete#2 - I could easily have been that lady with the rabbit ears except I would have asked first if the dogs would bite me. ducking and running!
Grandma -
ReplyDeleteThere's the difference! You (and every other normal person) would ask if they're friendly. Trust me, you are nothing like this lady.
