Animals can be so silly!

It's been a busy morning this morning.  As I tried hard to clean the house as quickly as possible, of course there were many distractions with the girls around.  However, the funniest had to be our newest member of the family, Samson.  He is a 60 lb yellow lab puppy.  He may be large, but he is still a puppy at heart.  He is also very skiddish.  Whatever life he lived before becoming our dog a month ago left him very jumpy when it comes to loud noises.

This morning, I start to vacuum in our room since Bryleigh went down for a nap on the other side of the house.  Of course, Samson does NOT like the vacuum cleaner.  When I was setting up the vacuum cleaner by the door, he ran over to the other side of our bed and hid.  All I could see was his head peek over our bed to see what I was doing.  Mind you, there is no escaping the room over there except to bust through the window.  Knowing he was going to panic because I was going to have to vacuum where he was, I got him to get out of the room before I turned on the vacuum.  He ran like he was about to be bit in the rear past the vacuum. 

As I was vacuuming, the girls started running in and out of the room playing.  Well, apparently Samson got so excited about them running around, he forgot I was vacuuming.  He ran in and then realized the vacuum was running.  Instead of turning around and leaving the room by the way he just entered safely, he decided to take a more interesting route...over the bed.  Yes, he jumped over the bed to trap himself by the window again.  When I yelled at him, what did he do?  Yes, you guessed it!  He jumped over the bed again to run out the door!  Crazy dog!  If he had just stayed out in the first place, he wouldn't have tramatized himself!

I didn't realize it was possible, but Samson can jump from the floor on one side of the bed to the other while only touching the bed in between once.  Quite and amusing, all be it inappropriate, sight!!
