Do your ears hang high or ride low?

The new dog.

Still can’t believe my parents got a dog. I lived with them for over 24 years and never once did I think it was possible that my family would have an animal other than a fish or guinea pig. We went through four guinea pigs.

Well, all is said and done. My parents now have a new little one to watch over. Her name is Belle, she’s 2 years old (looks much younger than Buddy), and was adopted from a shelter. (Note to any of you looking for a good animal)

She’s a great dog. She came over and played with Buddy and Clancy this weekend. Didn’t take them long from them to sniff each other’s “parts” and become good friends.

I haven’t heard her speak other than when my parents came to pick her up and she howled with excitement.

Parents couldn’t have gotten luckier on finding a great dog.

Drink.

Buddy, don’t mind if you do take a drink.

She’s going to be a big dog.

Pretty in pink.

Just like a girl, Maddy starts barking if I don’t notice her, say hi, compliment her on her collar, give a little scratch behind the ear.

American Bulldog

I was incorrect in a previous post calling Maddy a boxer. She’s actually an American Bulldog.

Maddy.

This is Maddy our neighbor’s dog. She’s just a 7 month old boxer pup. She looks a little intimidating, but she’s like butter and will melt in your hands. I got to play with her a little today. Definitely a very smart and observant dog.

Clancy and Buddy also got to a smell check. They agreed that she’s a good neighbor.

Beer drinking buddies.

Beer drinking buddies

One thing that my dad and dog have in common: Stag beer.

My dad has a strange fascination for Stag (AKA: Steak Taters And Gravy) beer; so does Buddy, but he’ll drink anything. It’s definitely not for the taste, could have something to do with the nostalgia or even the price, but he’s got cases of it at his house. Like a Y2K stock supply.

I have it in our fridge but it’s only for him, or people I don’t want drinking my good beer. Yup, this apple definitely fell far from the barley and hops tree.

Duck, duck, goose.

Buddy has a new thing for ducks. We’re putting him in duck detox next week…

We had some friends over this weekend and they commented on all the ducks in our living room. Five total. The back story is that Mrs. Shoo is dangerous with a gun, a gun that scans items to a wedding registry. She though she’d be sneaky and scan a random green duck. I saw herĀ  do it, but thought ‘whatever.. like anyone is going to buy a random green duck.’

Needless to say, Mrs. Shoo’s friends heard the story about the green duck and we ended up with five.

Correction: Sadie the Puggle.

Sadie the Puggle

I incorrectly posted that Sadie was a Pug the other day. Sadie is actually a Puggle.

Death by stripes.

Buddy was my buddy during tonight’s American Idol. Mrs. Shoo cheated and looked online to see if Josiah made it to the top 24. I won’t spoil it here… but the dogs could have cared less.

In other news, it’s friggn’ cold out.
