My BooBoo has grown so big...wow..
He's definitely my favorite of the 2 doggies...he's so loving and adorable...he makes me laugh every day...(except when he's hoggin the bed)...
This dog must chase his tail like 2 hours a day...and he growls and barks at it...going full speed...knocking into the wall or chair...he's the biggest scaredy cat in the world...he's afraid of plastic bags (he runs from the sound of rustling plastic every time)...he was afraid of the stairs for DAYS when we moved...i had to drag him up and down by his collar and left nail trails in the carpet...
he likes to 'argue' with me when he wants to go outside and I dont wanna get up and let him out...first he walks over and is like "i'm at the door mommy'.....then if I dont move...he's like "hrm...lemme try this again...gonna walk over here...see me mommy?....okay...I'm walking to the door"....and he stands there and looks at me expectantly....then he starts to get annoyed...so he comes over to me...and kinda hops towards me and does his high pitched houndy bark...and I say something like "what? can I help you???'.....and he hops and grunts....'no...I dont WANNA take you out'....then he hops again and barks louder...
heh...he's such a baby...
then...i let him outside...and if its really cold...or even sprinkling a TINY bit...he's like 'oh HELL no Mommy....I'm not goin out there...its raining out there...are you CRAZY?'.....
and if he doesn't get enough love when we get home...and I'm laying on the couch...he comes over and leans against the couch right next to me...and gives me kisses...when he leans against the couch he wants me to give him hugs...and he just sits there...'yeaaah....scratch my butt....ohhhh'.....and i just hug him for a while...
and he's still obsessed with food...we call him 'fatass' a lot...he's really not fat...he just drops EVERYTHING if he thinks there is an opportunity to get food...'ooh...daddy is goin in the kitchen!'....ou can hear it in his head...'food? food....foood???? food...mmmm foood....'
he has become the alpha doggie though...Riely wont eat unless Buddha is in the kennel...he growls a bit and becomes a butthole when theres food out sometimes...like...guarding it...like 'if anyone is gettin any...its me'....but then we just put him in the kennel...or give him a time out with the muzzle...or we just put the food away...I've never felt at all threatened by BooBoo....I mean...sometimes he's growled at Riely when I was huggin him and I wasn't the least bit scared...he's just like a lil spoiled kid...and he's scared of everything...laundry...vacuum cleaners...tool belts...tools...he barked at our air conditioner for 2 hours when we first got it...and we bought a wood mail holder that you hang on the wall...took it out of the box and the retard barked at THAT even...i mean...theres no doubt that he's kind of a big dumb lug....but he's totally sweet...and not nearly as much of a pain in the arse as Riely is...she's too darn clever and gets into EVERYTHING...
but we also took care of a tiny dog for a few weeks and he was fine...he was more curious than anything...just following her around sniffin her...and she had lil dog syndrome...was biting his tail and barking and lunging at him...he'd just take his paw and try to smash her...with the 3 dogs it was a chain reaction...the lil dog was trying to get Buddha....Buddha was trying to get Riely...and Riely was trying to get the lil dog...
during the day...we get Buddhas bowl and fill it with food...put the food in the kennel...he follows it...walks right inside by himself...we lock him up for the day...and put down Riely's bowl and leave...and when we come home we put up Riely's bowl...cuz he'll come straight out and either eat it all..or guard it...but he also wants to guard his bowl in the kennel...so he runs back and forth...and wont let Riely go anywhere near either...s
then they roughhouse for a few hours...the Buddha chases his tail...he's gotten increasingly mad at his tail over the last year...'oh its that damn tail again...always following me around...i think Imma surprise it....annnnnd JUMP...damn...almost got it...'...then he gets really pissed and starts chasing it REALLY fast...he slammed his face into our chair once because he doesnt look where he's going...sometimes he'll get it...or pin his butt against the chair and grab it...and then he falls over....
he's just a total sweetheart 95% of the time...
We pretty much resolved that neither one of our dogs is very good with hanging out with other dogs...Riely plays too rough for other dog owners not to get 'freaked out' by...since she's used to playing with Buddha...and she's still a high maintenance butthole...and Buddha just doesn't like other dogs....he's fine with people....he loves people...but other animals...no...so we just keep them at home....and they roughhouse so much that they tire each other out easily...they like to play 'steal whatever toy the other one has'....riely is too smart...Buddha will have a toy she wants...so instead of trying to take it...she does the bait and switch...she just grabs any other toy around and flaunts it in front of him...he drops whatever he's playing with "i want THAT one'....and she gets her toy....but then they just go back and forth doin the same thing...
buddha loves fetch...he's so pathetic though...he comes over and drops the ball...and nudges it towards you...and then gives you the puppy eyes...if you ignore him...he picks it up...and does it AGAIN....he's so hard to say no to....riely still hasn't gotten the grasp of 'GIVE ME THE BALL!!!!!'....I call him 'booboomuffin'....i lub my lil man...but he looks more like a hound now (plott hound/pit bull mix - when we went back to the SPCA for shots they're like 'oh...he's definitely a plott hound mix)
