I'm Chesapeake-Dog and I'm a friend.
|
Pooch.dog and I go back a long way. I met him when I was just a puppy and I have to say that his large size made me anxious. To overcome my insecurity with my meager puppy size, I became an alpha-dog and very territorial.
It was all in good fun though. I never growled or bit or anything over a territory when I was a puppy. I just paced all around everywhere to claim space for myself. It was harmless behavior and the humans always laughed at me and called me "alpha-dog". Whatever. Humans are weird sometimes.
|
Then as I grew and grew and grew, I got a lot bigger than Pooch.dog and so the alpha-dog behavior subsided. It seemed not so important to me anymore. I learned to prefer being petted and hugged, and then I acquired the secret desire to be a lap dog.
Yup. I'm a big girl-dog, but I want to be a lap dog. I love cuddling. Cuddling is groovy and humans love it, so that gives me the impetus to continue. I follow humans around everywhere they go so I can cuddle and get petted.
|
Don't think I'm a sissy though just because I like to cuddle. I'm a fierce watch dog and I growl and bark at every stranger I see. My Human-Mom trained me that way to protect her and her home, and I do it well.
In fact, Pooch.dog's Human-Mom keeps kidding with my Human-Mom that she wants to take me to live with her so I'll protect both Pooch.dog and his Human-Mom. That's a bit much and I know she's only kidding about me going to live with them, but I'm flattered, really. And, I know I learned my guard dog lessons well. I'm a tough cookie who has a secret desire to be a lap dog. What a sweet combination, huh?
