Went away for a night, now the derp dog is adhered to me like glue. His usual 5am "I want cuddles" behavior has graduated from jumping on the bed and putting his butt in your face to jumping on the bed and lying across my knees, which at 42kg I can only assume is a Misery-style attempt to ensure I never leave again.

So I'm making my wife's breakfast this morning and as I'm standing at the counter I hear meowing coming from...above me? I look up and there's Bruce sitting on top of our cabinets looking very pleased with himself. I guess nowhere in the condo is safe now.
Honestly I'm less mad than impressed he could get his chonky ass up there.

We've got a house down the beach for a week and we were worried about how to keep the place becoming a filth bucket with three Bernese around, but were relieved to discover that the owners had wisely installed a death trap flimsy circular staircase between floors. Since our dogs have the gymnastic ability of a herd of pregnant cows, we figured this would restrict them to the lower floor, which is easy to clean.
By my estimate it took about twenty hours for this to happen
None of them are thrilled by the endeavor, but apparently when the choice is "climb a staircase you are scared shitless of and often fall through clumsily" vs "be away from human eye contact for up to seven hours" then it's really no choice at all.
Rotties are good dogs. My cousin had one when I was a kid. Very sweet.
I almost got one years ago but she was 1700 bucls and the pet store lady was insistent on a credit plan which I found fishy.

Lots and lots of rotties in shelters and rescues who need homes!
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

I'd love to but Lola is all I can handle at the moment. I'm hoping if I find a new job and can afford a house I can add to my dog roster in a yeae or two.

My partner and I look forward to the day when we move out of our 24th floor apartment and into a house with a yard. We assured ourselves we would be getting a dog at that time, but probably a younger pup so they can learn how to live with the two cats who would own the shit out of him as far as hierarchy dynamics.
That bone is 8 months old. I dont think she can actually chew it anymore its just a point of pride for her. We thought she finished it in august but it was hidden in our couch

This weeks stupid dog shit, yesterday afternoon we took the dogs running on the low tide sand spits. And there were a lot of people fishing. Long story short, Ziggy ate a ziplock bag full of pizza dough (including bag) and we're all waiting (and hoping) for it to turn up again.
So quite literally, we're looking for stupid dog shit.
Anyway uschi is no longer scared of water! (As long as there is not even the slightest ripple of a wave)
Is it weird that I'm excited at the prospect of tonight's winter storm warning so I can see my doggie in snow for the first time?
No its a magical experience and you should treasure it.
Ive only seen it twice myself. My beagle lost her mind and started snorting snow. My brothers dog was much the same but she was part basset so she had to learn how to traverse .

Normally in the mornings I take Uschi over to a local sports oval which is an informal off-leash dog park. If other dogs are there he can romp and be social, otherwise we run in circles around the oval until he's tired.
Today he expressed a desire to walk around the neighbourhood instead, so I let him take me on a tour. We visited many sites of historic import, such as
- pretty much every tree
- the final resting place of Dead Cat Friend (who thankfully, through one natural process or another, is no longer corporeally evident there)
- the big anthill he likes to sit on until the ants bite his butt
- That Place With The Chickens
- That Place With The Dog He Has A Crush On (crush fairly one-sided)
- the bush region where he and Mabel once found a mostly whole kangaroo corpse and he got to eat a whole lot of intestine
- The Tree Which Sometimes Has A Possum But Not Today
It was an inefficient route but I feel like I learned a lot about his priorities.
You’d instantly get 110kg of blundering dog love all over you.
Which is no bad thing.
Edit: if it's hot, a friend with air conditioning picks uschi up and takes him overnight. She usually turns up at 4. Today she was over ten minutes late, nevertheless usch heaved himself out of a deep slumber at 3.59 on the dot to go and stare out the window next to the door.
I am constantly astonished by his time keeping ability, given he doesn't exactly hold down a 9-5 or anything.

How come Uschi gets aircon and Mabel and Ziggy don't? Seems downright criminally unfair!
Behold, the tragedy of a dog who was given a biscuit, threw it under the sofa IMMEDIATELY, barked at it until I recovered it for him, and then jumped on to my bed and walked over to the bedside table and started drinking my water from my glass instead of his own water.
E: he has TWO DIFFERENT WATER GLASSES in two different rooms which I refresh with cold water all the time, fyi

Because he’s a BIG WHINY BABY and also she has a small place and can’t fit the three of them, and being a colleague of my fathers she knows Uschi better than the other two.

I feel like some musician has to have done this.

She is around 7 weeks old. She doesn't know how ears work yet. And she is mildly irritated with whoever keeps attaching her tie out cable like that.
(She is so cute homg)
