So, we celebrated the Super Bowl! Great game...lots of screaming, clapping, jumping up and down. Mostly in the last quarter, but hey, those last 15 minutes were exciting.
Good thing we were not at our house.... what with our crazy excitement-hating, stressed-out Westie hanging around. Coconut HATES activity. What I mean is clapping, yelping, screaming "Go...Go...Go!" doesn't work for her. She gets more than a little agitated. To the point that if you don't anticipate the next exciting play of the game and get a firm grip on her collar, you may end up with a friendly "nip" on the ankle, or even better, the chin. Yikes! Not a good scene with kids around.
Now, she is great with kids, loves to lick and get a good tummy rub like the best of them. But when kids run around or we get all excited watching sports SHE GOES POSTAL! Barking, running all over the place, nipping at us. Not good. It's funny for a quick second, then I start to think about the angry mom when her kid comes home with cute little teeth marks from cute little Coconut....
So we promote "golf claps" and "silent cheers" and, for goodness sake, stay in your seat! That's why celebrating the Super Bowl anywhere but at home was great for us! Down right LOUD. Lots of obnoxious cheering. Screaming at the TV. We let ourselves go CRAZY, because we weren't with our crazy Westie.
But we did miss her, we always do. But we wonder, is she unique? Or are Terriers just an agitated sort. Do we look like active little vermin to her when we scream/yell/clap/jump? I'm of course referring to breeding, not our grooming, for those confused. I'd love to hear your stories...
