Charlie is so Self-Conscious

[chocolatepuppy]

Darn it, I can't watch photobucket videos for some reason. When Layla was little and couldn't get on the bed, I would say "say your prayers" and she would put her front feet on the bed and I would lift her hind end up. Well, she kept doing this long after she was plenty tall enough to get up by herself. She would hear something outside and jump up by herself, but at bedtime, would act helpless so I had to help her. Eventually she started jumping up by herself.

My dogs occasionally will be on and off the bed during the night, particularly if it is warm weather. Well one night when Bella jumped up on the bed in the dark, Ripley (who sleeps way under the covers) must have growled at her because maybe she jumped on him. Maybe through fear of landing on him again, (though I doubt it ) she is reluctant to jump up on the bed if it is dark. Instead she will stay by the bed and do a very low GRRR. This is not a fun thing for me to hear at 3:00 AM because it means that I have to find out where in the bed Ripley is and then get out of bed and lift her rear end like chocolatepuppy used to do with Layla. (I like the idea of telling her to say her prayers....cute!...although at 3:00 AM I usually don't feel cute)!

The Wentzville one?? I've gone there a few times in the past; haven't lately because of the rain, snow, cold, warm... then Jamie went in heat (thank God it's her last one before her spay!). But yeah my sis and I looked up a bunch last weekend... we should definitely plan a play date!

But yeah we recently moved back to the area from Branson; most of my childhood was spend in St. Chuck and St. Peters

Charlie, how could your mom let you go on like that for so long?

Oh the abuse we PTer's put our pets through just to post it on PT!

I just wanted to let you know that Charlie and I had a little talk.

Now when he does his dance, I either a) look away (he's self conscious and is afraid I'll laugh if he trips or falls) or b) grab his collar and lead him up

He's made it very clear what my job is and wanted to let you know he's straightened me out!
