Blue
is just an absolutely hilarious dog! He greets every day with
enthusiasm. I went to pick up Blue when he was just six weeks old when I
found him on petfinder. His owner refused to keep the dogs until they
were eight weeks. His parents were show dogs who 'made a mistake' and he
wanted to get rid of the evidence.
Blue looooves people and other dogs. When people are too far away to pet
him or if there's another dog that he wants the attention of he will
some times do this yodel type of howl that almost sounds like someone
crying! He doesn't do it often, but he does do it at the pet store. I
think he knows he's bound to get flocked by attention with it there.
He also tries to 'share' his pig ears. He'll drop it at my feet and lay
across the room watching me. When I pick it up he'll come over and when
I try to give it to him he wiggles away and dances around like its the
greatest thing ever and he wants me to take a bite. (Pig ears aren't
quite my style.) He's just happy and cute and vivacious every day of
his life.
Blue does know tricks. He can settle (lay on his side), crawl, spin,
and blink on command! However, it's hit and miss. He does something
kind of on his own terms and that's okay by me. His favorite thing is the
dog park, where he runs around all the dogs until they finally run with
him. It's his favorite thing in the world. He's very particular about
toys, no plastic for him at all! His favorite is his Iqube which he
loves, just empty. The soft empty balls that come in it he sometimes
carries around squeaking for hours, for no reason at all. He's not
overly affectionate at home but with strangers he can't get enough love.
He loves to have his back scratched. While I say he's not
affectionate, whenever there are other dogs around, he stands about five
feet away from me and back up toward me until his butt is against me or
he's standing directly in my lap. Just his little thing to let people
know I'm his, I suppose!
He's very protective of his yard. Mostly he's protective against
squirrels, his arch nemesis. He chases bunnies all the time but once he
finally caught one he just kept bumping it with his nose and pawing at
it to try to play! He's a sweet boy. His vet and his groomer both,
while acknowledging his hyperness, say he's the most well intentioned
dog they've ever seen. He's crazy, but he means well.
