The Dogs of War

What war?  The ongoing war between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (the 'North') and the Republic of Korea (the 'South') is the war I refer to.  We are in a war zone, and I have the 'gas masks' to prove it.  As I was organizing the kitchen, I found two chemical/biological escape hoods in case of such attacks.  Where are the hoods for the furkids, I asked?  The hubs said we could buy those, and a dear friend who should know these things suggested the small dogs could fit in our hoods with us.  The hubs also informed me I had to prepare documents for the Billard Family NEO Battle Book.  I have yet to know what NEO stands for, but 'Battle Book' I got.  It will contain all the forms we need to leave quickly in case the North should decide to go to battle with the South.  The motto for United States Army Garrison Humphreys is "We fight tonight!"  The motto for the United States Army Corps of Engineers stationed in South Korea is "We take flight tonight!"  The hubs says this with a straight face. 

My dogs of war can't be bothered with all this talk of preparation 'just in case'.  The sun is out, the grass is dry, and there are new odors to sniff!

 Marie would like everyone back home to know that the sun and grass in South Korea feels pretty good!

 As a matter of fact, this Korean grass provides a better scratching when rolled in.

 Lots of new sounds and sights when you live on the main drag of the neighborhood!

 Pancho would like for everyone to know that the grass in South Korea HURTS chihuahua feet!  Seriously, I have to throw him onto the grass, he potties, then he finds the deck or one of the wooden steps to stand on and will NOT walk on the grass.  He will leap over it to get to where he wants to go.  I have to take some video of it.  He is hilarious.

 Pepsi pretty much agrees with Marie.

 Her buzzard baiting posture doesn't really work here since I have yet to see a buzzard.  I've seen LOTS of magpies, doves and pigeons, but no buzzards.

 I had to ask Tweek to sit to get a picture of her head off the ground.  Yes, the martingale collar she is wearing is too big.  I bought her another and lost it, so I will try again this weekend.

 Sniff, sniff, so much to sniff...you should see her on our walks.

 Dollar takes it as it comes.  The sun and grass aren't so attractive to him, but the nice dog beds indoors are.

I am happy that the dogs are adjusting so well.  The cats seem to be doing pretty well, too, although Bert did the yowling pacing thing almost every day since he has been here.  It is Thursday morning here and he has yet to do that, and he has been downstairs to get petting, so I think he may be getting the hang of things finally.  I forget we have only been here a week.  Have a great day!!
