Where do I even start...?
He will regularly bring his
stuffed animals to bed with us. I’ve
woken up surrounded by plush ducks, beavers and squirrels all stiff with doggy
spit.
He hogs the right side of the
bed horrendously – but is an incredible foot warmer and body pillow during the
colder winter months.
He carries bits of water and
food in his beard for later…….these remnants usually end up smeared across someone’s
face, or lap….Although he has learned that if he comes after me he’ll earn
himself a thorough face washing with damp clothes and all.
He will automatically munch on
his loudest, most stinky-est chew whenever company is over to watch a movie as
if to say “I’m here too! Don’t forget
about me!!”
He only eats from the left
side of the bowl. He’ll munch away until
he hits the metal at the bottom and then delicately nibble around – widening the
nose-shaped crater until the left side is completely clean. Sometimes, when I want to annoy him, I’ll
sneak by and shake the bowl up a little, tipping kibble into his already
cleared nose-hole.
His dog bed a is a nest of
hoarded towels and throw pillows – all not-so-discretely stolen while I’m out
at work
He loves to sit by the window
in my bedroom (even though we’re a number of floors up) and people watch. He
hates loiterers and loves to commune with the blue jays and squirrels when they
happen to stop by
When he’s overly-tired or
feeling insecure, he will valiantly try to fit all 3.5 foot, 70-odd
pounds of himself in my lap. It won’t
work – my lap is not nearly big enough, but he’ll try.
Sometimes, when he’s feeling
really clingy, he’ll just walk right up to me, press his head into my chest and
just stand there, breathing me in until he feels ready to face the world again
He’d got the goofiest smile in
the world – a smile that never fails to make even the worst work day bright and
shiny when I come home to find it waiting for me.
Honestly this list could go on and on and on….and it’s
constantly growing too. Every day I’ll
discover one more reason to love Bear to bits, and to be honest, I wouldn’t
have it any other way.
What silly quirks to your dogs have that make you love
them endlessly?
Feel free to
share!!!

I did enjoy reading this and agree with you list can go on and on and on. It's really funny how many things they do that are unique for them and that we notice.
ReplyDeleteFor me one of the funny things our 4 dogs will do is wait fo us to sit in the living room and watch TV before they strategicly place themself around us to guard us as their biggest treasure lol
