Must Love Dogs
I want to see this movie. Heard it wasn't great but i must see it.
My dog does the damndest(is that a word? i like it anyway) things. He is so quirky. I hate him for the way he is sometimes. Last night, my friend, Maggie, had girls night where she cooked yummy sheperds pie, we drank alot of wine and chatted about guys. Our puggles, meanwhile, were playing like monsters all over the house. Romeo has to warm up to people. He won't just go up and wag his tail to strangers like most dogs. Instead, he growls with a low pitched bark when someone walks in the door. So last night, he thinks its part his house as well b/c he spends everyday there, starts to do this when a new girl walks in. Everyone thinks he is precious and of course wants to walk right up to him and pet him. Well he won't have that. Perhaps he is shy. Or maybe its just that he is a bratty bastard. He goes to Maggie and i to beg for food but no one else. He lays on the rug, observing all the girls. I think i made him the way he is. Either that or it is the stupid pet store that i bought him from. I think its the pet store or at least i want to blame it on that damn pet store for keeping him in a window for 2 months while people poke, tap, and admire the precious pups. He is forever traumatized from it. Fucking pet store!
Some of the wierd things he does: He is part human, part cat. He sleeps underneath my comforter in my legs. Has done this from the day i brought him home. He curls up in this teeny tiny ball like a cat. Walks on the back of the couch like a cat. He lays on the very top of the back seat near the window of my car when i get out and go in somewhere. I guess to be at the highest point and watch the people. He won't lay on the new couch without a blanket under him, "snuggle puggle." He loves to bask in the sun. I let him on his long lead outside my apt. when it is sunny outside so he can lie on the grass or concrete and sun bathe. On our walks he will not go up to anyway that trys to pet him but if they ignore him he goes up and sniffs them. He loves dogs and when we are on walks insists we go say "hello" to passerbys. He has to sit in my lap while i am driving and prefers the window is down so he can hang his head out. He also searches for dogs with his head out the window. When he sees one he won't take his eye off of them the entire way down the street. He lets his puggle girlfriend eat his food. She is alpha, rules him and he lets her. When he is in trouble he puts his curly tail straight where is almost touches his balls, oh wait he doesn't have any. When he warms up to guys, my friends or anyone i am dating, he prefers to snuggle with them. Not sure why. He doesn't obey the word "come" ever, never has, i am thinking he never will. He loves to play chase with other dogs, that is his game. He loves the beach, prances through the sand and kicks it up in his face. He hates the water, won't go near the pool or when he sees the waves come he bolts in the other direction. He loves my best friend, Caron. Yelps and screams with excitement when she walks in the door. He pees about 15 times per walk, on trees and plants.
Wow...i didn't realize just how much personality my dog has until i begin to write all these things down. He is a person. And that, my friend, is why he is my boyfriend. I love him a little too much!
