I think that Woody can handle himself in almost any situation.
He must be thinking "well, this sure looks a lot better than the middle of the street I was on in Texas!!!" How many pups can say they kept going to the Wichita Falls airport FOUR TIMES - and then took TWO FLIGHTS!!!
Yeah, she may have canceled on you - but at least you get to go home earlier and check on Woody - and plant all of those kisses on him we keep sending to you.
Jen,
What a great job you have that you can take him to work with you!! Those kids must be so thankful (as is Woody).
Thanks so much for the pics. He sure is a darlin!!! :)

I kept saying "FRIDAY... it's casual day that day, he'll be back!"
Thank you so, so much for the pictures! Oh, and Jennie I got the darling outfits for Quinn this evening, I will put them threw the wash and have Quinn model them for you tomorrow. Thank you SO much! They are SUCH darling little outfits and I can't wait to try them on her :D
Hugs! I hope all is well with you. Please give Woody a kiss from me and tell him to be a good boy.
*Waves* Hi Woody!!! I sure do miss you! You're such a little social butterfly! I'm so happy you have kitties to play with and lots of toys and better yet..get to go to school with your mummy!!! And lookie! Mummy allowed you on her couch!!! I was a meany! Sweet dreams widdle pumpkin. Try to keep the snoring to a minumum! Luv and smooches..Aunt Karen & Cuzin Logan
What a lucky boy to be able to go to school with mom! Your one special dog Woody!
Thanks for sharing those cutie pie pics of him Jen:D
I think I'm renaming the puppy.... to GOOFY!! He keeps carrying around catnip toys, and last night started dragging the one cat tree around the living room, and I've put it back where it belongs about 5xs tonight already!! This dog is a maniac!!
He wants so badly to play with the kitties, and sits here and whines and barks at Zachariah, lol. Hopefully I can get the one neighbor's dog to have some play dates with him. She's a large golden doodle, and bit goofy herself, but I think they'd have fun, lol. ;)

He's fetching and bring things right back to my lap for me. He falls asleep on my chest and takes naps with me. He's sweetness beyond anything ever expected.
Speaking of unexpected... I didn't expect to find him HUMPING a cat bed in the middle of the living room floor!!!! Isn't he too young for that?! :o :eek:
LOL!! In our house we call that the humpty dance. Yes, Zoee used to do that when SHE was younger too. She doesn't do it anymore, so he'll probably (hopefully) grow out of that. hee hee :D :D
That's great that he is catching on quickly to the house training. I think I might have to come visit you sometime to see the little guy. :) I promise I won't take him home with me (evil laugh).
More pictures would hold me over though. :D
:rolleyes:Quote:

GO Woody!
:D
Well, I think I'm changing the pup's name, cause "woody" seems to have the wrong effect (if you catch my drift... :rolleyes: :o ). I have to seriously keep him away from the one cat bed, I have no idea what it is about it, but he REALLY likes it a little too much!! :eek: :p
I've been trying out other names, and since he's also carrying around my vacuum cleaner attachments (why, don't know, he keeps picking them out of the holder), I think I like the name KIRBY for him, lol, at least it's better than Dyson, Eureka and Kenmore, ya know?!
So, I think he's gonna be a Kirby! ;) (No more woodies in the house!! :p )
:D :D Well you know, there is always HOOVER - Hoover is nice!!!:D :D
Too funny!
Thought of that one too, but my neighbor's JRT is named Hoover, so, can't take that one, lol!Quote:

So if I ask you to kiss Woody goodnight for me, you won't, right? :p
I'll kiss Kirby, but I aint kissin' no woody!! :p ;)Quote:

How about "Jabber"? :p
No, we had dogs when I was younger, and living at home. We had Max when I was about 4, a german shep., who was not like that, and then Maija when I was about 12 , also german shep. who was not like that. The beagles we had I don't remember them doing that either, but I could be wrong. I guess that's not something I "focused" on when I was younger, or if they did do it, mom and dad told me something else?? (go figure... :rolleyes: ). I had friends whose dogs behaved like that, but I thought they were older. I just didn't know they could start this early, that's all.Quote:

I've never had a male dog myself so I can't be much help, I do know that when you take him to a dog park you'll be seeing a LOT more of it with other dogs big, little, old and young. And girls do it as well, just as Cinder. She tries to sharpen her pencil that she doesn't have. ;) Our dog we had as kids was male and humped on occasion but I don't remember much about him...
It may not have anything sexual behind it - it might be dominance? Maybe he thinks the only thing he can dominant is the Kat Bed! :)
Keegan tries to hump my walking boot!
So what IS his name???? :p :confused: :confused: :confused: :p
It isn't sexual, it is dominance. Ginger does it all of the time when she is excited (by excited I mean overly active or on sensory overload, not sexually). We have a toy named Mr. Bear, that she has always humped, even as a very young pup. It is her way of taking control over something when chasing the ball around the house gets her adrenaline pumping. She has never tried to hump my leg, and only very rarely tries to hump one of her friends when playing rough. Ginger is not a dominant dog by any stretch of the imagination, and I think Mr. Bear is a perfect way for her to release her energy (although it does seem to surprise guests when she does it).
I've only ever had two male dogs - one before Ripley and now Ripley. My first male (toy poodle) never humped anything and I had attributed that to the fact that we got him as a puppy and neutered him right away. Ripley, on the other hand, was about three years old (a guess) when we got him and he still had his family jewels at that time. We had him neutered right away, but he humps Bella occasionally and she just sits down. :o I am thinking that he still thinks the testosterone is flowing. :o
My dad and his wife have an 11 yr old Jack Russell, and he still does it. He has was neutered a very long time ago, but that did not stop this guy!! The funny thing is that he is very strong, and will " have his way with you", if you aren't careful. On the other hand, I've never seen Smokey do it. I'm not sure why some do & some don't?!?
Short update....
Went to the whitecoats today because I found some icky white things in Kirby's poop this AM. :eek: :( Never saw any previously, so figured get him in there prior to needing the last set of shots. He's on Drontal for the worms, and got his first dose of Heartguard and Frontline free for his first puppy visit and a folder with info for me as well! :)
Everyone at the vet loved him, lol. He's just so happy and loving of everyone! He weighs 16.6 lbs, and the vet said he looks to be a great weight, and that the hourglass shape is how he should look whether he's 4mos, 4 yrs or 14 yrs old.
She also said he is MAYBE 3.5 months old, and that he is just cutting his baby teeth. Here I thought he might have been older than we thought (size, I guess), but nope, he's younger, lol. Dr. Hess definitely recommends obedience class for him, and she said bassets can be very aggressive when older if not trained properly. Was planning on classes anyway, because he definitely likes to get his own way and "talks" to you when he doesn't. :p He was being a bit of a brat with Dr. Hess so she put him on his side and he calmed down. Have to remember that trick! She also suggested a sleeping crate as well as a "time out" crate. Will have to pick another crate up, because that was a good suggestion. I'm going to pick up more puppy food tonight, as well as get some other treats.
I guess that's all for the update. He got his distemper and rabies shots tonight as well. So, I guess he's up to date on shots (unless he still needs that last set, will have to check closely on the receipt from the vet).
Whew!!! Kirby really is a handful, but so worth it!! He's just such a love!
Hmmm ...
Sounds like it's Kirby for sure, now. :)
Hey K9Karen ~~~
How'z about "fixin" the Title of this Thread to say Kirby :D
:cool:
:cool:
I must have missed this the last time I read this thread. Bella too was captivated by my vacuum cleaner attachments when she was a puppy. She often unsnapped them from the *secure* holders on the side of the vacuum cleaner and chewed and chewed. Thankfully she got all of that out of her system before I got my Dyson! :eek:Quote:

Yikes! Thanks for the worm info..I'll be on poop patrol with Logan. Yech.
Did he flip his leggies when he was examined and put on his side? He's so sensitive. One touch sends him into a frenzy. So funny.
You're getting there, Jenn! Kirby really didn't like being told what to do. Of course, I laughed because I wasn't keeping him! :p :D
Aroo from the Princess and belly rubs from Aunt K
Jennie, how's the Kirb-ster? Has he been to school anymore?
