It's 4:40 in the A.M. #Rufus woke me up to be let out, not uncommon - he is an old man like me and sometimes has to pee at night. But tonight.... tonight it seems he woke up, remembered he left a treat out in the front yard and was feeling peckish. Asshole.
It has been six months since I lost #Buster. I had subscription for chew bones for him, I forgot to cancel it when he passed and #Rufus does not like to play with them. I received a shipment today, and I gave them to the new neighbors across the street for their dogs. It made me sadder than I would have expected. I miss my pupper.
#Rufus decided to take a small ouchie and chew on it until it became a legit wound. I spent most of the night cleaning it up and keeping him from making it worse.
For his efforts, today he will receive THE CONE OF SHAME!!! (to be read in a booming, echoing voice.)
The first picture is this is AI art created from the following prompt:
"A Happy Boston Terrier laying on a tile floor with a green squeaky toy in the shape of a bone in front of him."
The second picture is the picture of the late, great #Buster that I was describing.
I miss this little guy so much. This was taken on 4/31/21. #Buster
Just had something cool happen... #Rufus was barking at the window (nothing new), and I did not give it any thought. A few moments later someone rings the doorbell. I check the camera and it is the mail man. So I open the door and he says "I don't have a package for you or anything, but I saw your #Dog at the window - can I give him a treat?" Of course I said yes and he give Rufus the treat and some scratches and off he went! I should have taken a picture but I was too caught off guard to think about it in the moment.
This is not my regular mail man, but I hope he keeps the route!
#Rufus vs Bone
It was a long protracted battle, but in the end the bone wore him down.
SO I've Fed #Rufus and then I go to make something to eat for myself. Normally when I give him food when it is done I say "No more" and he understands feeding time is over. However tonight he got baked chicken breasts for diner. When he's done I say "no more" and he gave me a face that clearly said "You'll forgive me if I don't believe you and have a look around for myself!"
