Buddy's flies

Abby on My Blog - Mon, August 11 2008

You won't believe what this guy does. He catches flies! I can't even see them, which is probably why Mom calls them 'no-see-ums'. He watches and watches and SNAP! Catches one.
Then he makes the weirdest faces. His nose kind of bends and wiggles, he shakes his ears and he sort of purses his lips, kind of like people do when they're giving kisses. And then he spitoos the thing out!
The fly is on the ground, wobbling around like it's been in the spin cycle of the washing machine (not that I would know what that's like).
Eventually the thing crawls off.
Buddy seems to really enjoy this. Yuck. Flies are disgusting, but spitooing them out is worse!

The Goose monster (Charlie - dog) catches the flies at our house. He doesn't spit them out though.

I am an expert fly catcher. One paw, first try. Then I put it in my mouth with part of it sticking out so that everyone can see my prize. I spit it out on the floor and torture it until I feel like eating it. Yes, this is very un-princess-like behavior but I'm so GOOD at it...

I'm the fly catcher of my herd. My mom's always impressed at how HIGH I can jump to get at that buzzy thing.

Patches is pretty good too, but she's a bit chubby and can't get the air time that *I* can!

But Buddy's a DOG! Buster the cat catches them, but a DOG?!? Where's the dignity?

Ha probably makes those weird faces because the fly is crawling around in his mouth. Ha, this is too funny.

I eat puke, more often a dog trait than a cat one... Why can't a dog catch flies? Extra protein!! Mmmmmm!
