I
adopted Harley from the Catahoula Rescue a little over a year ago. When I
got Harley, I was looking for a "protector" for myself and my Shitzu/Lhasa
mix. Not sure what kind of deal I got with Harley, because although he may
look intimidating to some, he is one of the friendliest dogs you'll ever meet
- although I will say that he's very good at sticking up for his "big" sister.
He's also very vocal. He doesn't bark so much as he sings, or warbles. It's
the craziest, most unique sound I've ever heard come from a dog. And who
needs kids when you've got a Harley? He frequently talks back to me, letting
me know what he thinks about the rules of the house. (He's got the best "But
Mo-o-om!!") I think he's also part ventriloquist because he can speak without
moving his mouth.
Harley is so incredibly smart it scares me! You can show him something twice
and he picks it up. He only needs showing once if it involves food. He's
known at the dog park for opening people's coolers - including zipped up
soft-sided coolers - and sneaking ice cubes. I was a little hesitant at first
to get a smart dog, but now I can't imagine life without one. He definitely
keeps you on your toes and makes sure you don't forget about him! Harley's a
handful but I love him to death. I'm sure I sound like a mush gushing over
every little thing about him, but he's got so many quirks that I love about
him, including the satellite dish ears! He's a complete goober and is always
making me laugh - which is the only thing that keeps me from throttling him sometimes!
