Humor: Life lessons learned from dogs

by Jesse Loose

Created on: October 10, 2008

We are the proud or crazy owners (or pets) of 7 dogs. Yes I said SEVEN, the mother, daddy and five puppies that should not have been possible. The daddy is a miniature dobby/beagle mix and the mommy is a greyhound/lab/dalmation mix. Two more unlikely mates you can not find. In fact it was the size difference that had me making the wrong decission of not having Tyson fixed before Chya came into season. Long story short we have five more dogs and I fell in love with them and kept them both out of the fact that no two of them look the same and I had to see what they looked like and acted like as they grew up. Oh and yes they are more than a little spoiled.

This has been one very strange and mostly funny journey into the twighlight zone. Every day Suzie dumps the food bowls over at least once and depending on what they are having Bandit may decide that he wants their food more than his own. They will all stand around crying and whimpering but not going any closer to him than they are in this picture. Oh and they will only eat cat food that I mix with their dry dog food. Seven cans per meal. Bandit beats these poor dogs relentlessly. He sets and waits for them just outside the back door and smacks them as they go out to the back yard. Once they are outside he comes inside the door and waits to get them on the return trip. It is like having the keystone cops live 24/7.

We had the dad and two boys fixed so there would not be any more surprises only to find out that when the girls come into season they are worse than any teenage boy ever thought of and yes it is that time right now. We are about to pull our hair out because they will not leave the boys alone. Not to mention they are confused as to just what sex they are because they keep mounting each other. You know if a guy could find that hormone that makes these females act like this he could make a fortune, that and there would never be another case of a husband saying that he was "cut off" again..... They are ridiculous.

It is kind of funny that the mother Chya picks on poor Tyson more than the two sons that are at least her size. Tyson by the way can walk under Chya and barely touch her underside. That was why I didn't think there was any possibility that the five puppies would happen.

Tyson is still the boss of the pack with Chya being second in command, of the puppies well they are a year old now so not very much puppies anymore, Barney and Toby take turns being leaders but the true brat is Skeeter. Now Skeeter
