EIGHT THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME
By Butch
1. I hate getting my nails cut, so I bite them to keep them from growing too long. My favorite time to do it is in the middle of the night.
2. When I’m sleeping comfortably, I don’t like to get up. Sometimes when my people call me, I pretend I don’t hear them, even if they're calling in their loud, outside voices. Then they trick me by whispering something about “ice cream” or “treat,” and I wag my tail and give myself away.
3. Sometimes I scratch inside my ear –- very carefully –- with the nails of my hind foot...and then I hold that foot up to my nose and sniff it. Mmm-mmm!
4. My fur is short, so people are always surprised to find out how soft it is. They like to rub it, and I love it when they do that.
5. I don’t watch much television, but when I hear a puppy whine or cry on TV, I sit up and pay attention until that part of the show is over.
6. I’ve been called “strange” and "weird," but I prefer to think of it as “unconventional.” Who says there’s only one right way to do something?
7. When I go to the vet’s office, I’m the star of the lobby. People always come over to ask about my eyes, then they end up petting me and talking to me. Especially the kids. I like it in the lobby, just not in that back room.
8. I like people better than I like other dogs, and I especially enjoy the company of men. Not many men come to our house, so I’m really, really happy when I get to spend some quality time with one of 'em.
I tag Spot, Mabel, Cheyenne and Ellie (or the tag team of Ellie, Duffy and Vannie), but only if their humans agree to help them type.
Dear Butch, I love reading about you (OK, I can't read but Mom reads to me about you and Kadi. And about your niece and nephew too.). You make us smile and laugh. It's fun to take over on the blog, isn't it?? Your friend, Mabel
ReplyDeleteDear Mabel: Rrrut-rrrut. Know what I mean?;)
ReplyDeleteYou betcha, Butch! Arff I had fun writing my blog... and Tag! Kadi's it!
ReplyDeleteVelvet, I guess if you ever want to meet some guys...just take the dog along and he will round up the men!
ReplyDeleteButch you are one handsome mandawgie.

Butch you are some kind of cutie! I'm sure Ellie has just been waiting to take over the computer and start her own blog but she may have the share this meme with the other two. Carmon
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, giving Butch his voice! Pats on the head to your guest blogger!
ReplyDeleteButch, you are so clever! No wonder you bite your nails in the night, otherwise it would be far too hard to use your person's keyboard. You'd keep typing the wrong letters, wouldn't that be funny!!! It's good to read something from a dog's point of view. looking forward to your next post, eh.

Nice to hear your office move is going well, we're off to our new building next month, I'm terrified!
Butch, Spot does that ear scratching thing but he also licks his toenails when he's done. Is he weird?
ReplyDeleteMabel, I'll tell Kadi. She hates to be left out. Butch

Sister-Three, no thanks. Velvet

Javagirl and Carmon, thanks. I could just lick you for that! Butch

Duly Inspired, Butch's head has been well-patted on your behalf. Velvet

Wendydog, that's EXACTLY why I bite my nails. How clever of you to figure it out. Butch

Miz Feather, TMI? Then I'm glad I left out the part about licking the toenails after I scratch inside my ear. Butch

Janet, umm...I don't think Spot is weird. How else is he going to get the earwax off his toenails?
