Wow, I didn't realize it, but I haven't had time to keep up with my blog! I have been so busy, what with cats, dogs and family, it has been crazy around here. Anyway, here we go again!
My mother always told me that there would be days like the ones that I have been having. She just didn't bother to tell me that they would last for months at a time. What fun! Things get nuts around here at times. My dog, Chowder is neurotic. You must understand, Chowder is like my baby. A white furry ball of fluff that is going to permanently act like a two year old child. The terrible twos have nothing on this dog! I guess he is as crazy as his human. I'm not sure, but at times I think he has me beat.
If company is over, he does these tight circles, yips and jumps on whoever has come through the door. Mind you, I have tried everything to get him to quit. I have even threatened him with a bad butt beatin', but, it never works. I guess he would make a good burglar deterrent since he stays right under your feet. He could always trip them! And Lawd, don't take him for a walk when other dogs are out and about! He acts like a total fool. I know he only wants to play, but, for cryin' out loud, please! He won't stop!
We live in an apartment complex where there are a lot of stairways. He loves to pee at the bottom of every staircase. I have no inkling why he does this. There are plenty of bushes and trees. Why can't he pee on those? What's up with that?!
I have seen this dog tree a squirrel in a heartbeat. He can see them a good 3 buildings away. When he does, the race is on! Yesterday, he treed one and the squirrel actually turned around on the tree, got close to Chowder and started fussing at him! I think if the squirrel would have had access to nuts, he would have been bombing Chowder with them! Of course, all I could do was laugh at them. It looked so funny.
You know, I don't think I will trade this dog in. He is too funny, too cute and has a great personality. I guess I'll keep him.
