… and that’s what I love about dogs! They are so loyal. Hoss’s owner came home late last night and, as soon as Hoss saw him, I all but disappeared. All the time, love and attention made no difference to him once he saw his owner. Hoss was soooo excited, jumped in the back of his truck and didn’t even look back. Oh, well ~ he was fun to have around although he was a handful. It certainly was a good distraction while Favorite Man (FM) was out of town.
Dave, my friend who took care of Maya and Sport, had a similar experience last summer. I remember him telling me that as soon as FM showed up to take them, our dogs jumped in the car with no thoughts of Dave.
Having Hoss here for three weeks reminded me how much I miss having a big dog ~ they have a much more “gentle” personality than small dogs. Many small dogs have the Napoleon Complex, but a big dog has no need to show his strength unless he needs to. Even though I love Sport and Maya, when it’s time to get another dog, I’m going BIG.
I’m thinking maybe an Irish Wolfhound 😉

It takes a bit for Colin to warm up to Murphy. Murphy is so wild and excited when we see him and then calms down. I have no doubt Murphy would jump right back into Sean’s arms and curl up in his green chair with him.

Oh, That Murphy!
FM and I talked about dog loyalty after Hoss went home. I told FM I would bet my last dollar that if Murphy saw Sean after all these years, he’d remember him.
How does Colin like Murphy?

It sounds so much like Murphy especially after an extended visit with Herr Albrecht! Murphy came to visit last weekend and he is always so happy to see us but when Tommy comes around he goes nuts . . . just like with Sean so it makes me wonder if he is confused? Oh that dog sure knew how to drive me crazy but also how keep me feeling safe too!
PS Send us some snow and I will send you sunshine . . . 80 is the projected high here today:(
