Dungeons and Dragons

Sunday/Monday Thatcher went to the Dog park... pretty uneventful. He did the usual hiding under the picnic table and jumping out when he thought other dogs were unaware of him! I think he might be anti-social... ever since that stupid dog attacked him in the park and bit his ear he's been afraid of playing with other dogs. :( He LOOOOVES Bruce though and will play with his brother from another mother any day!

Tuesday Thatcher had a play date with Bruce and they were sooooo happy! They shook their heads at each other and played for HOURS! One would get tired and lay down and the other would run over there and attack!

Wednesday Thatcher made a game out of something that was supposed to be obedience training. I keep a water spray bottle around for when he gets on the furniture or does something he's not supposed to... but leave it to Thatcher to think it's fun to be sprayed in the face! He does his "0-60 butt drop" and takes off running! Of course it's funny so I can't help but laugh, but that only reinforces his bad behavior!

Thursday Thatch went to a new vet to get his bordatella shot so next week he can go to the daycare to be boarded while I'm gone. We also switched over from dry food only to half dry and half canned. Thatcher thinks he died and went to heaven. I'm gonna have the fattest dog in the tri-state area!

I'm seriously considering having Thatch the "N" word... no, you're right, boy dog likes to hear that word so we'll just say "snip snip." He's not even interested in girls. Bruce, who is 1 month older, is totally interested in girls when we go to the dog park. Thatcher, on the other hand, isn't. OMG, what if my baby is gay!? I'll love him no matter what.... no grandpuppies here, I guess :(

OMG what if Thatch is one of those "Dungeon and Dragons" kids!? He growled at me when I just typed that! He IS interested in bug searching more than playing with other dogs when we're at the park. :/ He's most definitely a mama's boy. Every time we go to the park and he wants to play with another dog he'll run at them and bark and then hightail it back to my side like I'm going to save him!

*I swear I have shorts on in this photo*


I went ahead and spoiled Thatcher 2 days this week because he was good and had no accidents in the house on those days... he got to sleep in the bed with me. He was an excellent little bed mate once he realized it's not play time and that he can't smash around on ANYTHING under the covers! I think I have a footprint on my abdomen now! Haha.

Winter in June

Saturday and Sunday We went to the dog park and Thatcher had TONS of fun! He even got punked out by a little beagle!

Monday Thatcher was actually good and let me massage his massive meat head while he laid his head on my lap and made sounds that in English would have translated to "Ohhhhh that feeeeeeels soooooooo goooooooood!!!!"

Tuesday he had a play date with his best friend Bruce! They're a match made in heaven! :) At first when we got to the park it was just Thatcher and Bruce and a cute little dobie named Angel. Well Let me tell ya, Thatcher wasn't too happy when Bruce and Angel started playing and rough-housing... Thatch just stuck his nose up in the air and walked off and came to sit by his mama at the picnic table! Once they were alone at last it was back to old times with the two of them rough-housing and shaking their heads at each other with their mouths open while making cooing noises! They're a strange pair! When it was time for Bruce to go home Thatcher sat and waited for him to come back. Then when he realized he wasn't coming back he went and put himself to bed and was crying himself to sleep. :(

Wednesday Thatcher was back to scheming and being a clown! There was a tiny little chipmunk outside on the stump by the balcony and Thatcher kept pawing at the glass and slapping it... trying to tell Alvin that he couldn't be there! Then they sat for about 20 minutes and had a staring contest. Thatcher won. After Alvin got bored because Thatcher couldn't break through the glass he proceeded to dart back and forth by the glass as if to say, "Hahahaha Thatcher... you'll never catch me, friend!!! Stay under your mommies skirt mama's boy!!" Thatch also broke the sliding screen door today and turned his cage into a snow globe because he misses winter -- really he just ripped his bed up and tore all the stuffing out!!

*Thatcher's version of a White Summer*


It always makes me laugh when I pat Thatch on the bottom or pet his back legs because his tiny little nubbin of a tail will point in whatever direction I'm touching... it's almost as if it were a feeler like bugs have or a boat rotor or something! Thatcher eats leaves like it's going out of style!

Friday Thatcher got the spankin of his life! He went outside to potty and when he was done i attempted to make him come back inside, but I guess he was showing off because he jumped up and scratched me across the face... now I look like Scar from Lion King! :(
