I Love My Dogs

Gus

My dogs LOVE to go to the dog park.  In fact, we can't even say the words, "dog park" without them going berserk and yes, that describes their emotions accurately!  We have to say "the DP" and we can't say the word "go" or it's all over.  They run to the door, Gus starts jumping and making his excited barking/screaming monkey noise and Daisy barks.  They will sit perfectly still while you put on their leashes, though, they're not dumb.  Everyone loves Gus' long hair, especially when he runs.  They call him the "Fabio" of the dog park. 

When they are at the dog park, they always have the biggest smiles on their faces!  They are so happy.  Daisy is like the Walmart Greeter, she greets each and every dog as they come in and socializes with everyone.  Daisy usually ends up making some old lady mad because she will put her dirty paws in the clean water bowls.  I fill them up constantly when I'm there. By the way, I recently had Daisy's DNA tested and her genealogy surprised us:  Laborador and Austrailan Sheepdog.  I knew there was some kind of sheepdog in there because she is a herder. Gus usually finds one dog that he will play with.  He will run and run (he loves to be chased). 

We recently started taking my little grand puppy, Aslan.  He loves all the people, but he is not so sure about the other dogs.  He is totally submissive to the dogs and stays close to me most of the time.  He is venturing out and about, usually to greet a person.  He is now 26lbs.  He is becoming so big and boy is he smart. 

 I puppy sit him 2 or 3 times a week and he is a little trouble maker.  Always getting into something or pushing Gus around, but I miss him when he's not here.

 He is a digger, so he cannot be left alone in the garden.

 He finds absolutely every. little. thing. that will get him in trouble, but he is such a love bug that you just have to forgive him!

I have had dogs my whole life and I couldn't imagine a life without them - ever!  They are so sweet, loving, accepting and comforting.
