Today was the first day I had to leave Bertie home alone (stupid job...) and it just about broke my heart!
Bertie was only alone for about an hour, until my other half got home. Unfortunately for OH, Bertie isn't too keen on him yet, and spent the remainder of their time together hiding under the coffee table :(
We're attempting to change their relationship by having OH feed Bertie Scooby Snacks. Time will tell!
So I went about my normal routine tonight. Make dinner, watch TV, relax.... Bertie - however - had other ideas! Instead of the cuddly, snuggly little doggie I've had for the past couple of days, today I got CRAZY DOG!Dashing around, jumping all over me, and his pouncing-dashing-hiding game.
Bertie has this game, where he will pounce on something, then dash away, hide, peek out at it, dash back, pounce...repeat as required. Works on bits of kibble, shoes, me, my lip balm tube (which he has found and nicked off with several times! a piece of fluff, thin air... anything really.
As well as that game, Bertie just likes ZOOMIES! Which on our nice smooth linoleum floor, often ends in skiddies! Which are hilarious to watch. Haha. When I laugh at Bertie he tries to lick inside my mouth...blergh. He gave me heart palpitations before by climbing up onto the back of the couch. So high up for such a tiny dog! No fear, this one.
Ahh...Crazy Bertie has turned into Sleepy Bertie now. Phew! I was worried this manic behaviour would never end!
I stepped outside for a few minutes to check the mail this evening, according to hubby Bertie cried while I was gone even though I was back within 60 seconds! I think he was just really happy that I was home.
Bertie has clearly chosen me as his pet.
No pics tonight, as Bertie just would not sit still long enough!
My family has a chihuahua, and he also likes one parents leaps and bounds more than the other. That and have varying moods like most creatures seem to have.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't know; Bertie is a different dog then Peanut, so only time shall tell.
