My humans threw a pretty big party this weekend. They said it was to celebrate the house or something…but I think it was just so I could meet lots of people, slobber on a few kids and try my luck at knocking people over. I only succeeded at knocking a few really little kids over, though…the rest managed to thwart my plans 🙂
My parents basically decided to turn out courtyard into a bit of a beer garden party zone. One of the best things about this was that I got to see lots of my friends (dad’s parents, the friends we went to Venice with and a couple others) who came over to help set everything up. They did a pretty good job for the most part…
And would you look at all this food!! I really wanted to have a taste of everything but I restrained myself and grandma loaded me up on treats later on. She said I was such a good girl while sitting on the stairs, greeting everyone, that I really deserved them.
The party went until about 5am on Saturday night and I have to say that the following couple of days I was just totally exhausted. Playing the host is really difficult to about 50 people and 15 kids…but I did my best to get at least a little drool on all of them. I think I may have managed to find a few more recruits for my fan club too! 🙂
Oh my gosh, look at all that yummy food! You were sure a good girl Ayla to behave yourself! You deserved every reward you got!
Love ya lots,
Maggie
Ayla,
There are two key elements when it comes to successfully knocking people over. First, and most importantly, you need to get a running start. This can be hard to do in small spaces, but I am confident that you’ll figure something out. Second, you need to catch them completely off guard, preferably when the people are busy talking to one another and not looking in your direction. Trust me on this, I have successfully knocked grown men off their feet .. more than once. They always let their guard down sooner or later. Woof!

@Maggie I’m so good right. But I didn’t get too close to the food most of the time. I’ve been pretty well broken when it comes to counter surfing but that much food is hard to resist 🙂
@Indy Thanks for the tips! I will definitely have to remember those. I have managed to bowl my mom over before…and once I got both my humans at once. But I have to be more careful now that my mom is pregnant…it’s hard to restrain myself though.
Newfie kisses!
Ayla
