beauty is fleeting.
it seems that even dogs know when they are pretty and when pretty gets messed with.two of our dogs are thelma and louise. blond perky girls who love to party. they are pretty and they know it. other girls out there are a bit jealous. across from their pen are the dixie chicks. sisters also. dixie and trixie. dixie is a freckled black and white, and trixie is a black with white chickie. they love to play and party and dance. but seem a bit jealous of thelma and louise.
when running out to play, it seems the boys always notice thelma and louise more than the dixie chicks. that is so like men, always noticing the blonds first.
well trixie had her fill with that and wanted a piece of the blond with attitude. thelma is more dominate than louise. thelma is who she wanted.
she got her last friday. took a big chunk of blond shiny hair from behind her ear as well as a small piece of ear. thelma had to spend the weekend at the hospital. quite a costly event for a jealous brunette.
today, thelma came back home and was not pleased. she has to wear this ugly elizabethan collar and has all her pretty blond hairs shaved on the right side of her head, tons of stitches in her ear. all in all, not so pretty. which makes for a not so happy girl.
louise was very upset with her sister/pen mate going away after being injured and spent the weekend barking at the back wall of her pen. when thelma came back she was full of kisses for her. thelma must have been a bit upset with being gone, and coming back looking different, she growled at louise; giving out her best elvis impersonation and snapped. poor little louise went and sat quietly in the corner watching her sister.
then the other dogs started barking at her. at first she was all happy and barking back, but they must have been making comments about her looks because all the dogs were barking at her and waggin tails and she started barking back snarling. eventually, she went and sat in the corner facing away from all the other dogs. louise went and gave her more kisses and they curled up in the corner together facing away from the other dogs.
the pretty blond hair will eventually come back, the e-collar will come off in about 10 days, the ear will be a little different, but not that noticeable. but a girl knows. a girl always knows.
