Bruiser’s new trick

Tess — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 15:23:38 +0000

Alison took me to task for not taking enough photos of the dogs, but basically they’ve been avoiding the heat. Still, Bruiser has started doing a new trick that worries me a bit. Without prompting, he’s started sitting up, which is amazing to watch, that long body rearing up and all, but given all the warnings I’ve heard about little weiners in carts because of back problems…

He’s just so damned…earnest.

Several people have asked me if I was kidding and/or exaggerating about Bruiser and his froggie “problem.”

I could’ve retouched the first photo to get rid of the ‘possessed by demons’ look that’s so popular these days. I thought you should get the full-on, totally crazed brunt of the ugliness of addiction.

Are you seriously trying to get me killed?

It’s tough being a weiner. Your hair is really short and you’re close to the cold, cold ground all the time, so I’ve had to become one of those ‘clothes for the dog’ types.

He looks really, really unhappy about this particular wardrobe choice.

Bruiser got a little too close to the paint action…

Oh, and one more “P” keeping me busy…Puppy!

Alison has a new dog. A teeny weenie dog of exactly the sort I said I’d never have. I’m only interested in big dogs, with big barks. I don’t have any sheep for them to herd to earn their keep, but at least they can pretend to be my security system, right?

What the hell’s a 3lb (literally) mini-weiner gonna do for me? Nada.

But…you know… he really is totally endearing. Ridiculous, too. He has no idea of his size- he takes 67lb Sammy on with no hesitation. We haven’t figured out if he’s brave or just stupid.

So…presenting… BRUISER! (Alison’s name choice)

A little side-by-side comparison:
