Dog Days of Summer

Category: My animals | Posted: Sun Aug 12, 2007 12:34 am

First of all, this may be quite boring to you if you don't love puppies!

I have been having so much fun with my new boy, Bouncer. He has so much personality and is quite smart (I could be just a little prejudice). He is learning his commands very quickly. In fact, I just talk to him like I would my child. But then don't we all? Anyway he knows sit, lie down, crawl on his belly, wait and no. He is so eager to please he doens't usually have to be told twice. He did help himself to Hubby's chips today. Hubby got up to answer the phone and Bouncer promptly got in his chair, very carefully got himself one chip and got down. Not a good habit but it was so cute. He also takes Hubby's socks off for him every night. Today I was out checking on all my dogs and spraying some water around to cool things off a bit. Bouncer loves the water and played in it for quite some time. He will let it spray him right in the face. He like to bite at it and roll in the spray of the hose. His brother, Toby, wasn't sure what to do. He does not share Bouncer's sense of adventure at all. It is kind of sad because Toby seems to know this is not his real home even tho my son only had him for 3 days before he went on vacation and left him with me. Bouncer on the other hand, knows this is his home and actually acts like a child with company.(He is kind of stingy with his toys lol, but we are teaching him to share) I love watching them develope thier individual personalities.Anyway here is my little buddy playing in the water.

Bouncer certainly looks as though he's having fun with the spray. Puppies are just so much fun aren't they?!! What a pity that Toby won't 'let himself go' and join in though. Maybe he bonded with your son before he went on holiday and is missing him. I know terriers tend to have a favourite human. I wonder how he'll react when he sees your son again?

They are both too cute. My dogs personalities are totally different too. One minds real well and loves to play. He is just a really good boy. I talk to him like my child too, both of them actually. The other one is very hard headed and thinks she is a princess! LOL
