This cracks me up- Stanley will stare at the fire for a good 20 minutes, then shift positions, and stare some more! I'm not sure if he's never seen a fire before, or if he's just a little mezmorized by it all.
I'm going to cut out on OT early today and look for a puppy sweater for my big baby- he gets SOOO cold when we go outside right now, and he does NOT like being wet, not at all. He's got such short, thin hair, I don't blame him! He does have a bad habit of belly crawling on the (cheaper) apt carpet in my condo, which then gives him a nice raspberry rug burn on his chest. *sad face* I'm not sure how to resolve that just yet.
I've learned that he is just a huge cuddle bug when he's sleepy, and he's just like a stinkin' toddler- he fights it when he starts to yawn, tries bouncing around Tigger-style, tries to roll around on his back, tries to get me to get into the fridge, last night he was even convinced he wanted to go outside- we walked all over the Home Depot parking lot, up and down every isle twice. As we got started I said "Stanley, you ready to go home?" and he just looked at me and then looked back to the isle we were walking on. By about half way I said it again and he turned, ready to walk back home. After that the grumpy guss stood right by the red chair looking between it and me... I gave in, put his "blanket" (my plush green towel) on the chair and let him hop in while I did some dishes and cleaning, and he was content.
It is so much fun learning his quirks and personality, and yes- I realize that I'm talking about my dog as much as people talk about their kids, but- who cares- he's new, and funny, and I want to share it with you all! *grin*
