And if you're not quick enough to bed, he pick one of your spots and lay down with his head on your pillow.<BR/><BR/>The Insistent Exerciser: Spoiled? Three walks a day. And if he doesn't get them, he'll pester you to play tug and fetch until you do. (And even if he does get three walks a day, he'll pester you to play tug and fetch until you do).<BR/><BR/>Barf-o-Rama: For some reason said-dog has a tender tummy, so in the middle of the night a couple times a week (recently, anyway), he's been lurching up from the bed, standing in the middle of the bedroom and vomiting on the floor. Yes, all that is glorious is dog.<BR/><BR/>What do you mean, your furniture?: If you sit on the couch, he wants up. And will nag until somebody moves and lets him. Even if the 85 lummox is half on your lap. Otherwise, off to the La-Z-Boy, where he is camouflaged.<BR/><BR/>So It's Not Exactly A Toy: Recently, this 4-year-old puppy has decided if we're not paying enough attention to him, he will find somebody's shoe or sock and thus GET our attention. It typically takes 2 to corner him.<BR/><BR/>I'm not really sure where the spiritual elements come in.Mark Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410424046477699059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-62214824894349140812008-02-19T12:34:00.000-05:002008-02-19T12:34:00.000-05:00Great blog, Felicia.
