Thirteen Things about The General (my puppy)...1. He is an escape artist. We can put him in our laundry room and he will crawl through the crawl space under the stairs, and get out through the coat closet!
2. On Tuesday I went to class, about an hour in my sister in law called to tell me that the dog had broken my brand new coffee table. He knocked over a chair and broke the large oval glass on my table! Then to top that off he had ripped into the trash and spread it all over the floor!
3. The above mentioned incident caused the dog to get a kennel. With in 24 hours he figured out how to get out of that too! Adam then reinfored the thing with zip ties, so now he can not get out! The walls are sooo not coming down.
4. Ever bought your dog a toy? Did it squeak? Well these are The General's favorite toys. Funny thing to me is that most dogs try to pull the squeaky out. Not mine. He just pulls the tag off and then chews on it. Its kind of cute.
5. This dog sleeps like all day long. That is when hes not trying to escape from his shelter when we are not at home. Adam sleeps during the evening and gets up at about midnight when I get home from work. The dog sleeps the whole night with him. Then in two hours or so when Im ready for sleep, so is The General! I swear then if I take a nap after school and before work, he is sleeping too! Dang what a life.
6. He's such a funny dog. He and Adam play a game where Adam will blow a little air at his face. The dog grunts at him and tries to catch it. You would have to see it to appreciate it, but its hilarious, especially when the dog tries to snap at the air and catches Adam.
7. Today I looked out side, The General was playing in the snow. He loves the snow. I looked out and he was pulling sticks out of the snow and kind of tossing them around then running to get them and do it again. I laughed so hard because the dog really looked like he was having fun.
8. Have I mentioned how smart my dog is? Yesterday I was checking my voice mail and when a message from Adam came on, Patton went nuts. He started wagging his tail and whining because he thought Adam was home. Poor kid he was so confused, so when Adam came in yesterday after noon the dog didnt believe that it was him when he heard him start talking. It was funny when Adam walked around the corner and the dog jumped!
9. Yesterday I had to put him in the kennel for a little while, during a walk through with our insurance company. The hair on his back stood up when that man walked around the corner and took a picture of him. What a good little guard dog. I was so proud!
10. Ive mentioned already that the dog likes to sleep. Well he likes to sleep up in the bed with us. Well this is a major feat considering we have a queen size bed. Hes funny though cause he gets up on the bed, right between us then kind of lets out this moan/grunt noise as he collapses on to the bed. When he does it, the whole bed moves.
11. Adam and Patton play hide and go seek. Adam will tell him to "go find mommy" then he will go hide. When hes good and hidden he yells something at me, the I will tell him to go find him and off he goes. He will check every room until he finds him. Last night Adam hid behind the curtain in the dining room, the dog went right to him after circling the dining room table sniffing the floor. Totally cool!
12. Patton likes to watch the TV. When I watch TV in bed, he props himself up and watches it too. Then when me and Adam start talking about something, usually the history channel or animal planet, he will grunt and groan like he is talking with us. Totally the funniest thing to see.
13. For Christmas I was given these really comfy slippers, they are like socks sorta like ballet flats. My dog thinks that if he hides them I will stay in bed. So yeah now I have like 9 pairs of them. I know Im a dork! But thats pretty darn silly cause he looks confused every time I take out a new pair!
