Okay, I'm really trying to complete one blog entry per month, but this month has been busy (a good busy). I've been subbing a lot, and grad school is near the end of the semester, which means that I have three final papers/projects due next week. I figured I could squeeze this entry in...Considering that Brandon and I do not have any children, although we hope we can get some good news in the next few months, our dog takes the place of a human child for now. I have had Briley since he was six weeks old, way too early to have a puppy! I believe that most breeders keep puppies until they are 8 to 10 weeks old before they sell them. Anyways, from day one he has been my little joy, I never understood the meaning, "A man's best friend," until Briley came along. I never had a dog growing up, we had cats, and cats are nothing like dogs. Cats do their own thing, and they only want attention when they feel like having attention. Dogs always want love and they are always happy to see you. You may find this post silly, but here is a list of reasons why I love my dog, like I would any other human, see this little guy, has his mom's heart...
1. He has mommy issues, (no really he does), he still suckles things like he would a mother's nipple, but it's so cute!
2. He wakes Brandon up at the crack of dawn to go to the bathroom, and I am convinced that he does this so he can steal his spot on the bed next to me.
3. He is so cuddly.
4. He LOVES EVERYONE, he is the most social dog I have ever met!
5. He barks at animals/people not because he is protecting his territory, but because he wants them to come play with him.
6. When I come home from PetSmart, he digs his head in the bags to fish out his new toys.
7. He prances around the house when he gets his new toy like a little kid getting new toys for Christmas.
8. He's gentle when you feed him food, or in my case, when we share meals...yes, I feed my dog from the table...yes it's bad manners.
9. He doesn't put up a fight when he gets a bath.
10. He always drags his bed out of the bedroom and into the living rooms just so I can put his bed in the couch so he can sleep on it.
11. He wags his tail the whole time while he is on a walk.
12. He has the best puppy kisses
13. He always gives us a kiss goodnight before he makes himself comfortable on the bed.
14. He loves car rides!
15. He's always excited when we come home.
16. When I talk to him, he listens to me and tilts his head like he "really understands."
17. He loves socks, and he will take them off of your fee( but he doesn't tear them up)
18. We call his toys his "babies" and he treats them like that, he does not rip toys open.
19. When he goes to my parents house, he searches the whole house for my brother, mom, and dad. He has to make sure he greets everyone!
20. He loves to bug the crap out of Brandon, and I love watching ;)
So maybe I'm a crazy dog lady, haha, but I really enjoy having my dog, and I really miss him when we are away.
