My Guardian Dog
Doggy is taking seriously his mission to guard that window, the window where at night a dog shows up and he barks at him, the dog that looks exactly like him eating. Poor soul, he goes up and down stairs trying to get closer to that dog, is funny and sad at the same time, it’d be nice if dogs possessed self-awareness, Doggy would for once see how dirty he looks and try to keep a neat appearance. I told you he would get on the sofa to look through the window, I closed that window and put the coffee table closer to the other window which has basically turned into his Mordor Tower, he likes to stare to the nothingness, cuz seriously, there’s nothing going on in this building. As long as he doesn’t start barking we’ll be in talking terms, good thing he’s not a really verbal dog.
I’m really excited, he’s starting to hold his water, it’s been probably a week and we haven’t had any incident at home, I feel bad he has to hold it for so long, 8 hours are a bit excessive, let’s be honest, not even us rational beings can hold it that long, I mean we do if we have to, but it’s not a pleasant thing to do, so expecting a puppy to hold it for 8 hours sounds unfair. However, they manage to learn and do it, soon I’ll be putting the carpeting back and make this place look more like a house and less like a kennel.
…he’s not a really verbal dog. <—-good thing? REALLY good thing!

I mean, he does talk but at home he must remain silent. It’s ok Easy, he does his share of howling when not home, neighbors have told me he’s like a little wolf. Do not bring your Union to this please! lol
I can’t remember how old Sampson was when he could hold it for so long. We were lucky to have a mother next door who would take him out at about the 4 1/2 hour mark so he could get a break from the crate. I suspect you will soon be learning how to groom doggy so he looks presentable.
I’ve given up on his looks, last time I spent a few bucks on him and 2 hours later he was cover on mud and rolling on rotten oranges, we looked funny tho. I just untangle his hair and let him stink and wash himself on the fountain.
Our puppy cannot go 8 hours yet. 6 maybe.
Some dogs really enjoy grubby! Poppy’s one like Doggy. That’s great he can hold for 8 hours now. They do adapt to our schedules. Pops has a way to go yet.
Doggy is very wise: he knows that internal things are much more important than external ones. And, he realises the stylistic affinity between his chic appearance and the look of his tennis ball (as it was shown in one of the “Only Pics”).
Ohh yeah, dogs are wise. You should check Jodi’s blog, there are a few posts talking about being the dog, meaning that once in awhile it would be nice to mirror ourselves on the dogs, act how they do, careless and free.
Guarding is very important, Doggy is right about that.
