The Fly

Now that the weather is getting warmer, we are noticing more and more intruders around our yard (you've heard all about the cat and the squirrel).  Last night, we encountered a creature that had the nerve to come into OUR house and torment us.  This creature took pleasure in teasing us for at least 2 hours and by the end of the 2 hours, we were completely baffled.  Who is this creature we speak of?  The fly.

Around 7pm, we noticed this fly in our owners bedroom.  The fly was buzzing around our favorite spot in the bedroom, which is the back window (where we station ourselves for guard duty in search of possible intruders/trespassers).  To our owners, the fly just seemed like it was trying to get back outside (it keep running into the screen), but to us (handsome & beautiful canines), this fly was just trying to mess with our heads.

How did we react to the fly teasing us?  By attacking it of course.  For 2 full hours, we chased the fly all over the bedroom and even through the house (he went in the living room a few times).  We barked at the fly, we jumped at the fly, we chomped at the fly (this was our owners favorite as Rocky's lips made a noise every single time he tried to 'chomp' down on the fly), and we chased the fly (on hardwood floors, this wasn't easy).

Unfortunately, we're here to tell you that we were unsuccessful in catching the fly.  After giving 110% in our chase, we became tired (or bored) after so many close calls that we finally said the heck with the fly and we curled up for our nightly slumber.  With the experience we gained during our first attempt at catching the fly, we're pretty certain that the next time that fly has the nerve to come into our house, he will regret it.
