For the last two weeks My girlfriend and I have been dog sitting this nine year old black pug named cleo for one of my coworkers while she was vacationing in st croix. She was a total maniac, and she looked really funny.I have atendency to walk around my house talking to myself using different voices and making up songs about various items around the house or chores I have to do. My girlfriend works @ home and I think I worry her a little bit when I do that...with cleo around my answer to "who are you talking to"? Would be cleo. She provided endless hours of songwriting entertainment....like one song I liked to sing to her a lot was "rio" by duran duran only I would change it to "her name was cleo"....see how it works? I also would switch the song "oh, oh sheila" to "oh oh cleo." Sometimes I would pick her up and carry around the house singing or just looking @ her and laughing...she was quite a good sport about it. Sometimes out of nowhere like she would be asleep or something and she would just go nuts on this little elephant toy she had, violently shaking it around. Then just as abruptly as she started she would stop and go back to sleep.....when it was time for bed we would slide our armchair up next to the bed so that she could sleep with us, otherwise she would sit @ the foot of the bed and whine. She would paw @ the covers once
On the bed @ which point you were supposed to lift the covers and she would nestle right in. She would sleep literally until you got up which was nice. Actually she would generally sleep all day in our bed until Me or my girlfriend literally had to drag her outside for her walk.......The only time she would turn into devil dog was if you bothered her while she was eating then you would run the risk of her trying to bite you...not just snapping@ you, but full on going after your ass.......she's kind of like a little King Kong...she has a lot of the same expressions.....now its back to talking and singing to myself much to my poor girlfiends chagrin.......ps- the reason - don't have my own dog and have to live vicariously through other peoples dogs is because they are not allowed in our building.......and I can only dog sit dogs that are quiet so that my rat faced neighbors don't rat me out to our landlord......yep it sucks............anyway man I miss that dog.
