For those of you who do not remember this detail, Cheoah’s name means Otter in Cherokee. If you don’t remember the story of how Cheoah got her name, you can go here to read it. Go ahead. We will wait for you to come back.
Otter could not be a more appropriate name because of her incredible fondness for water. Since the weather was a little warm here this weekend, she decided she needed to cool off a little. Here is the result:
Hey, Dad, I washed the window for you
Even mopped the floor
Might need a little help mopping up the excess water though.
Oh, and Kodiak would like the water bucket refilled.

Update – 9 a.m. – Our deepest condolences to the humans of Dakota Moon Twenty. Despite all of the love a human has to offer, Dakota was called North of the Rainbow Bridge last night. We share your pain.

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.

Just wanted to let you know, you are 100% correct about the VideoPress plugin that I use! 🙂
Dat’s a very interesting story about your name, Cheoah! Thanks for sharing,

Cheers,

So what’s a little excess water? Just be thankful it isn’t mud!
Sadness here too at the loss of sweet Dakota.

My great-aunt Maxine would have had great fun playing in the water with Cheoah. We were sorry to hear about Dakota too.

Jack, the lab puppy, does the same trick at the dog park. Fortunately, he doesn’t do it at home and the people at the dog park think it’s cute!
I’m with Wild Dingo! I hate the water!
I’m so sorry to hear about Dakota.

Sibes who like water… I’ll never understand it.

That’s why Mom won’t put more than one inch of water into my bowl at once. Too many puddles.

I think that Cheoah is part Labrador! Trying to hop into the water bowl, and slopping water everywhere, is a famous Labrador trick. Particularly a Labrador Puppy trick!
I love that Cheoah’s name accidentally is “otter”. Perfect.
