Dogs are cool

Filed under: Bunker's Favorites,General Rants — Bunker @ 11:31 am

That’s right. I said Dogs are cool! Really COOL! We have two. A Jack Russell (Jack. I’m so creative) and a homeless chihuahua we picked up one stormy winter night (Chester. As in Chester Copperpot).

Jack is boss, but Chester wants to be. He just can’t run as fast, and gets tangled up when he tries. Both feel they need to be on my lap when I sit at the computer. So, I’ll simply blame them for bad grammar and misspellings.

Jack has issues with cats, too. He doesn’t hate them. In fact, he doesn’t hate anything. But he wants to play with them. They look like his Mr Hedgehog toy, and he simply wants to see if they squeak. They do, but they do it as they leave the immediate vicinity.

He also likes to swim. Pool, lake, creek, surf. Any water will do. Oh, yes, you must throw something for him to retrieve. Again, and again, and again.

Chester doesn’t swim. Tiny feet don’t propel very well. But he’s a pretty good ballerina. When he stretches, he looks like squirrels I’ve skinned in the past.

Good dogs. Both cool in their individual ways.

  1. The skinned squirrel image is SO perfect. And yet disturbing. Heh. They sound like great dogs. Thanks for the linkage. 🙂

  2. I know I’m a scrawny little dude, but my arms STILL hurt from all the times I threw Jack’s football into the pool last summer!

  3. It’s good to see that the rat and Jack haven’t changed much.
