Schultz thinks sprinklers are evil. (For those of you who don't know, Schultz is our devious hundred pound German Shepherd.) Every time the sprinkler system goes on, he has to launch an attack.
Yesterday was the biggest battle of all. About seven sprinkler heads popped out of the ground and began shooting jets of water all over the grass and gardens. Schultz didn't like that one bit. He charged on those sprinklers and tried to bite the water that was coming out. Of course he ended up with a wet face. Apparently, he didn't like having a wet face, because he rolled on the ground, trying to get the water off.
The sprinklers wouldn't let up. While he was rolling, they doused him with more water. Which made him even madder. He got up, ran as fast as he could to the nearest sprinkler head, and ripped it out of the ground. Then he chomped on it. Until it was dead.
I won't tell you what my husband said about the whole thing. But I will say that Schultz will not be allowed anywhere near sprinklers from now on!
I bet the cat put the warm in his brain about sprinklers... and then enjoyed watching his devious scheme come into life....
ReplyDeleteYep. The cat is the mastermind behind everything!
Deletelol sprinkler heads everywhere better beware
ReplyDeleteThey won't live long with Schultz around!
DeleteLOL I am actually picturing him it looks funny in my head, I am sure it was not in real..I hope he is fine now!
ReplyDeleteHe got over his anger issues with the sprinkler!
DeleteNot so amusing for you having to replace your sprinkler head, but I enjoyed reading of this doggy battle. :)
ReplyDeleteAt least the sprinkler heads weren't expensive.
DeleteI think you should let Schultz do whatever makes him happy, including more attacks on the sprinkler system. What good is having sprinklers if Schultz can't play with them?
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
You are right as always!
DeleteSchultz came out the victor, way to go
ReplyDeleteSchultz rules!
DeleteI can guess what Hubby said.
ReplyDeletePS: My baker's eye read Schultz and Sprinkles and I thought it was going to be about baking.
Haha. Definitely not appropriate material for this blog!
DeleteWhy is that? Is baking bad? Or sprinkles? We call them jimmies, here, actually, but the same thing.
DeleteHave a groovy week. Nice to see pictures in your latest post.
My mom's dogs are scared of water like cats are. I would have loved to see The Great Sprinkler War Of 2014.
ReplyDeleteIt was memorable!
DeleteOh no! I bet I can guess what your husband had to say about the whole thing. Poor Schultz! He won the battle, but he didn't win the war. : (
ReplyDeleteMy husband wasn't pleased!
DeleteThis sounds like it was hilarious to watch. Sorry one of the sprinkler heads died- but I am sure Schultz wasn't giving up after the havoc they caused! Too bad it wasn't caught on video. :)
ReplyDeleteThat would've been another good one for America's Funniest Home Videos!
DeleteSo funny. He was just trying to protect everyone from the water monsters. :)
ReplyDeleteOf course. He takes his job very seriously!
DeleteThat would actually be pretty funny to watch! We had our sprinklers on earlier this week and were curious what our dog would do. She just stood on the patio, staring out at it. She hates water. Finally, she ran and hid behind me. It tugged at my heartstrings, so I let her into the house where it was safe!
ReplyDeleteGerman Shepherds are fearless. If they're mad at something, there's no hope for their target.
DeleteHehehe! Schultz might prefer someone out there with a hose instead! :)
ReplyDeleteWe hose him down a lot in the summer. He loves it.
DeleteSchultz sounds like a trained sprinkler killer, all right!
ReplyDeleteHe's a ferocious creature!
DeleteThis would have made an awesome YouTube video.
ReplyDeleteYes. It would've been hilarious!
DeleteI guess Schultz has a mind of his own, would have loved to hear what your husband said.
ReplyDeleteHaha! He sounded like a sailor!
DeleteAnd I bet he was so confused when you didn't even congratulate him for killing the nasty water monster.
ReplyDeleteHe was very confused. He couldn't understand what he did wrong!
DeleteHilarious! Aren't dogs so funny? We used to have one that thought the vacuum cleaner was evil!
ReplyDeleteI bet that made it hard to vacuum!
