Two dogs and a boy. I guess I should phrase it more like, two kids and a boy. In some people’s eyes, we have the perfect family. One boy and one girl. Except they’re dogs. Which is is usually a better thing, but sometimes not. Last I checked you didn’t have to wipe off a child’s paws every time they came in the house from running around the muddy lawn. But times change and who knows what crazy people are doin’ nowadays. But I’ll go ahead and type up a couple of paragraphs about my little Family I have goin’ on over here.
These cute puppy dogs are killin’ me with their adorableness. When they are so tired and lazy around the house, they are at their absolute cutest. Astro is especially cute when he is sleepy. He always curls up or lays in the cutest positions. He doesn’t really snore much or make much noise but he sure does get grumpy when you bother him. If I kiss him on his nose or touch him when it is really late and he is tired, he does this deep growl thing. It’s SO cute. I always pop him on the nose and tell him to stop being such a grouchypantsman. Oh and one reason I always have more pictures of Astro than Emma is because like most Danes, he is a super sluggish guy! He stands “still” a LOT so it is always easy to get good, crisp upload shots.
On the other hand, Emma is the hardest dog to take pictures of! She is constantly on the move. Constantly turning her head to the left and right. Constantly hearing every tiny little sound and wondering where its coming from. She is most definitely our watch dog. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so protected and loved by a dog than I do by her. She just gives us that feeling that she is always watching out for us. She is a lot more defensive if we’re at the house and people come over or she hears noises outside. She is such a sweet dog and I can’t even begin to describe how smart she is. She definitely knows her stuff!
Here is a picture in which Gene is trying to ride our dog. I know, I know, it’s horrible. And don’t go getting all crazy on me and shouting ANIMAL ABUSE! at me. He wasn’t actually putting weight on him. Astro wouldn’t allow it anyway. Since Gene has been trying to ride him since he was roughly 4 months old, he has been pretty ANTI-RIDING :P The dog FREAKS out and bucks around like a crazy bull. But sometimes he will just SIT down and I know Astro is laughing deep down. He is like, you stupid guy you can’t ride a SITTING HORSE MUAHAHAHA! Anyway.. So this is Gene, in all of his silly cute boyness. I just want to wrap him up in my arms and hold him SO tight sometimes. I don’t wanna lose him, ever! This guy is my BEST friend.
P.S. I don’t know if I’ll be posting while I’m gone. We’re going to attempt to go to our Family Christmas thing this weekend, which is 3 hours away! And if you’ve seen the news lately, the weather here aint so great. So wish us a safe trip and I’ll post whenever we get back, either Sunday night or Monday sometime.
