My Dog Is Weird...

Well, like that's any surprise given who his people are

Naw, I know a lot of people with dogs that sleep in their crates when the door's open. It's their doggie home and place of safety!

I miss having a doggie. :(

[jadecat]

Well I've known that he does it off an on through the evening, I just didn't expect him to at night, I don't know why. *laughs* It IS his 'house' and he does get this kind of concerned look on his face when one of the cats stroll in to it.

I'm sorry. *hugs*

Oh, don't be! I had my wonderful Woofies for longer than I could have or should have, a few years longer than average life expectancy! And if John and I get together as expected, we'll get a dog. But for now, I can enjoy your boy vicariously.

I love that icon so much. :)

I remember reading stories about your boy. :)

That picture is actually from his Ingham County Animal Shelter profile. I snagged it because he does look really cute in it. Actually, it's the second picture they took, the first was really not flattering- his ears were back and he was looking up... just not really displaying him- plus there's the whole 'Black dog syndrome.' The only reason why he was there for almost a month before we adopted him.

Yeah - the cats will come home from the vet - hiss and spit at the carrier, then 10 minutes later be in it sleeping.

[jadecat]

Now my cats- totally ignore the cat carriers. Well, Leo will sleep on top of one of them... or use it as a stepping stone to get somewhere else. But neither one will sleep in it. *grins* This makes more sense to me. ;)

Awww, happy wet doggy! :D

[jadecat]

*grins* He's cute, no? :) Though, like I said, he never looks like that when *I* bathe him! ;)

[1_rhiannon_1]

He's very cute :) I know what you mean though - my dog never looks that happy when I give him a bath either *grin* Apparently the groomers are bribing them to smile ;)

[jadecat]

Definitely bribing them, definitely. *laughs*

[ayoub]

LOL!

I guess the novelty of sleeping elsewhere wore off quick!

[jadecat]

Apparently. *grins* He figured out we're just really boring when we're sleeping...

My foster dog is doing that too. She likes her crate (strange) and so far she wants to sleep in it!

[jadecat]

Heh, she's a cutie too! I suppose it's much better that they love to sleep in their crate rather than viewing crate time as the ultimate punishment. I just can't imagine it's better than the couch! ;)
