Slip, slip, BAM!!!

The other day I took some time to play with my puppies, Brody AKA #1 and Allie AKA #2. (Here #2 is on the left and #1 is on the right.) They have code names so that Margaret and I can talk about them without their knowing. Kind of like spelling b-o-t-t-l-e with little kids. This is most helpful when we are sitting and watching them interact. We know who we are talking about, but they do not. Until we created these secret names, even mentioning a word relatively similar to one of their names merited an immediate puppy sandwich, which consists of you in the chair, one dog on each leg, and a whole lot of slobber.
Anyhow, I was playing hide and seek with #1 and #2. The game consists of me throwing just about anything from the top of the stairs into the living room. Brody is a ball of fire so she tears off like a bandit. Allie knows that it is a lost cause for her to chase the bait so she just sits and waits at the top of the stairs until Brody makes it back up. (Side note: #1 and #2 especially like chasing the MOOSES from Margaret's cedar chest, especially when there is a herd of them all at once. However, the ultimate prize is Peking!!!) Ideally both dogs would chase after the toy(s), but because Allie turns like a cruise ship and Brody moves like a Sea-Doo we let it go. While they are down getting the whatever, I run and hide somewhere on the upper floor. I hide in closets, in the shower, under the beds, on the beds under covers, and often behind doors. Hiding behind doors is where slip, slip, BAM come into the story.
In one of the many rounds I hid under the blankets on the guest bed. Of course the puppies found me. The next round I hid behind the guest bedroom's door. Each round the dogs immediately return to where they found me previously so they went straight to the bed and dug around looking for me. When they realized that I was not there Brody hopped off and headed out the door. (Side note: I hid in the bed farthest from the door.) Allie followed but not as smoothly, remember, she is a cruise ship. She jumped off the bed at full speed neglecting the slippery pergo floor. She lost traction and her body went slip, slip, BAM into the door which in turn smacked my head because I was watching this all unfold. Again, #2 is a bumbling heavy cruise ship. Her weight and force were enough that the impact from the door sent my head into the wall behind me, so I got nailed twice! Fortunately this worked to her advantage because my groans of being whacked twice in the head gave away my position and she won. Yeah for #2!!!
