All our good boys and girls have quirks about them that make them unique. That’s why we love them.
What does you pooch’s signature move?
My wife and I adopted a 5 year old male Yorkie during college. That little SOB was as driven a retriever as any duck dog you’d ever seen. Pound for pound, he’d have whooped the nastiest chessie at the boat ramp. He tried to retrieve a blue wing teal I swatted in a Highway ditch one day, but he couldn't get his stubby jaws around it. Til the day he died he was a retriever.
Now the idea for this thread comes from my Griff. My best friend is sound asleep on the couch. He hasn’t moved in an hour. Out hard. I need a snack, so I get up and grab a venison stick and a string cheese stick. I try to be mindful because he’s sleeping and I don’t want to bother him. I know my pup has incredible (selective) hearing, and I know he never doesn’t hear that unmistakable zipping sound when you pull apart a string cheese stick wrapper. I slowly, painfully slowly separate the plastic as quietly as possible. Doesn’t matter. Through the television, the hum of the fridge, the dishwasher, and his own snoring he is alerted and sprawls off of the couch towards the noise to collect his well deserved cheese tax.
My wife and I have joked we will 100% be cremating him because if we bury him, he’ll show up in the kitchen the next time someone grabs a string cheese stick.
