Dog-sitting

We watched Mitsy for a few days while our friends Daniel and Canaan were at Disney World! Mitsy and Yoda have played together several times, but this was the first time for Tucker and Mitsy to meet...
Daniel and Canaan were gone for over a week and we were out of town for the first few days also, so they had some other friends (Ryan and Trisha) watching Mitsy for the first half of the week. We arranged for them to bring Mitsy to our house on wednesday because Ryan and trisha were going out of town the following weekend. So, Wednesday night Andy and I were sitting on the couch watching one of our shows, and Yoda and Tucker were sleeping on the floor. The doorbell rang which got Yoda up immediately. He ran to the door and started his whimper/growl which means "please let them in so I can play with them." We opened the door and mitsy wriggled her way out of trisha's arms and darted in the front door. Yoda knew what to expect because, as I mention earlier, they have played together many times. I should explain that Mitsy is a 15lb ball of endless energy. She darted in the house and headed straight for Tucker who, still being a young puppy with limited bladder control, started peeing while trying to escape the white blur that was charging toward him. This resulted in a ridiculous amount of pee on the floor, not just in one spot, but actually marking out the path Tucker took in trying to find refuge from Mitsy.
After the semi-traumatic greeting, Mitsy and tucker became great friends. They wrestled non stop because only a puppy's energy level can rival mitsy's.

This was when the odds were still for Yoda. They were about the same size but Yoda had more coordination and more experience. At last weigh-in, Yoda is 18lbs and Tucker is 26lbs. Poor Yoda.
