My dog makes me crazy. He can be the sweetest little guy or a complete demon. And it always seems to be Demon Time when I am stressed or need some down time.
I try to remember that he waits all day for me to come home. It's not like he gets to read or watch tv or "work on his novel"...but dammit sometimes I just want some peace and quiet.
BARK. BARK. BARK. BARK. BARK BARK.
On and on...and he won't stop. If he's not barking, he's licking. The couch, the coffee table, my foot, the pillow. Doesn't seem to matter what it is - all that nervous energy has to go somewhere.
He can be really sweet. We have our moments. He knows great words. Out. Thirsty. Hungrey. Chewy. Cookie. Brocolli. Asparagus. (yes, he loves them both). Bed. Sit. Down. Off. Round. Enough. High Five.
Basic Necessities, Basic Communication, Cool Tricks.
What Nelson George doesn't know is Stop. Leave the the @*^& alone. Just give me five minutes to myself.
Jasper and I had different words. House. Dinner. Come. Stay. Snuggle was his favorite. And mine. Not fair to compare them, but it still happens.
