The White Dog

Don't let the furry face fool you! This pooch is driving me nuts!

My dog-sitting duties have been extended until Sunday and it would be putting it mildly to say that my nerves are wearing a little thin. The White Dog, as I've been calling him, is driving me crazy. He's very sweet and cuddly most of the time, but whenever I try to actually *do* anything he becomes retarded. I'm used to dogs being under foot all the time. I'm not used to those dogs being so big that they physically block me from my path.

The White Dog isn't trying to be in the way - he just wants to be near me. ALL THE TIME. As in I can't go to the bathroom without him following me, which means a little back and forth dance down the hallway 12 times a day as I try to get to the bathroom and he tries to stand in front of me the entire way. Then Kiero, the Other White Dog, decides she needs to check out what's going on in the bathroom. Instead of a few moments of peace as I pee, I get to entertain the TWO dogs vying for my attention.



Fortunately the Pug isn't interested in my bathroom activities, so I only have to contend with all 3 dogs when I'm in the kitchen or getting their food or taking them outside or sitting at my desk or eating. Only then.

The White Dog gets very excited when we go outside. He's a fantastic jumper and though I'm not fond of scratches on my person or on my walls, he looks so smiley and happy as he's jumping that I can't help smiling myself. He likes to roll around on my bed and rub his face on my duvet too. It's the exact same thing Kiero does, so it makes it extra adorable when a larger, fuzzier version of her is doing it.

I tried to do a little spy cam video of the craziness as I get ready to walk the dogs, but the White Dog was actually pretty low key and you don't get to see much of his show-stopping jumping skillz. Nevertheless, it IS a video of dogs so naturally it needed to be uploaded to YouTube:
