Out of the Blū

I... This dog. 🤦🏻

I don't know what it was about Shaun looking for a nail clipper in my bag of tools here, but THRICE now it has caused Bear to come running and take a leap onto the couch... where his clumsy ass immediately rolled / fell off. 😂😂😂

We also got a ramp for the couch today. He walked up it, turned around, and walked down it. Two minutes later he approached it from the side and tried to jump over the guard rails. It, uh... didn't work. 😂😂😂

He is so weird. I don't really know what to say. But he's laying in the floor in front of the couch where we're sitting, so... It's nice he's hanging out with us, I guess. 😂

Also, Cub is dead tired. This boy wears him out. Here he is trying to hide behind Shaun. 😂

Bear's goof-ass just ran in a circle roaring...

Bear's goof-ass just ran in a circle roaring, then tried super hard to entice Cubba to play. He looked like he was trying to get the crowd hype. 😂😂😂

My precious Balthazar.

My precious Balthazar. I'm pretty sure he's our oldest kitty now. He's looking like an old man. Got an appointment Friday because he's feeling thin. I just love my sweet companions and I hope he has a few good years left. ❤️

(I know my blankets are furry. These fleece ones are so cozy, but nearly impossible to rid of hair. Oh well. 😂)

So Bear has OPINIONS. 😂😂😂

Shaun is heading out to get some snacks. He was gonna take the dogs with him. Cubba is always down to do whatever. But APPARENTLY, Bear didn't want to go and kept trying to get out of the car and biting things. 😂 Shaun had to turn around and bring him back.

The other day we noticed he'd been playing with one of the dog treat puzzles we'd bought for Cub. He managed to get the treat compartment open... but he couldn't get the treat. 😭😂 Poor little goofy-faced boy!

He's been doing a little better at being redirected from the cats. I'd like more time to work with him, so I'm going to ask the rescue about a possible extension on his trial adoption.

He's not a very cuddly dog. He's pretty independent. He makes laps for most of the day. In and out and in and out and all around. I call it "patrolling." He checks on me every lap he passes by. Greets me, gets petted, maybe gives some kisses. That's about it. He did sit on my feet this morning, though. That was a first.

Anyway. That's how things are going with this goofus so far. 😊
