Animal antics....heartwarming always
I was given a year old chihuahua cross. The first day I bought him home, he took the dog kibble form his bowl, one by one and we thought where is he off to? he vants to be alone? he was off to THE COUCH!!! where else do royal chis's eat their meal, biscuit by biscuit? Would you like some dinner music too? He was soon broken of that habit. He would be a wonderful companion dog for a deaf person. He really reacts when the telephone rings and does not settle until someone answers it.Beautiful dog.
My big fella, With Great Gusto, the rotty-shepherd cross, is literally on his last legs too. Hip dysplasia. He was born 3rd Sept 1996, such a faithful dog, a watch dog, he can 'watch" me work for hours. He has this penchant for putting on leather jackets and blue sunglasses and impersonating famous rock stars, very embarrassing.
Actually, relating to my signature,...Gusto loves to sit on the sun lounge and watch me work in the garden..got the life
I said "hey buster you'll get sunburned there" and popped my work hat on him. There it was, again!!...that uncanny resemblance ..teehee. It was even funnier when i got the Rolling Stone mag that week and read that Bono had been holdaying in Bali.....a papparazzi shot, "Gustovox at a Balinese Resort" I'll be stopping with the Gustovox pics soon
..he's been like a son, no a dear friend, to me.
Oh and because of the dry weather, i have had a bandicoot waking me up at midnight trying to eat my poor solitary hen lately. That is very very strange behaviour.
I so love animals, some of your companions have terrific names. Please keep this thread going .
