the dogs have taken over

by Blue-Eyed Bride on December 17, 2008

I was tagged by LyndsAU and Mrs. Jetplane– but Boudreaux and Fiona were actually tagged.

Here are the rules:
1. Link to the person that tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

So Boudreaux and Fiona are taking over the blog for a few minutes this morning.

1. Boudreaux says, “I am the most defiant dog on the planet. If my mom or dad says, “NO!” I’m going to respond with a bark and get into my play stance with my back end in the air with my tail wagging around. It really makes them mad, but it’s so funny!”

2. Fiona says, “When Boudreaux wrestles with me he can get really rough. He is five times my size and just pushes me around. It never really hurts, but I have a really high-pitched voice so I make him think it’s hurting me. Then he’ll back off and lie down and then I pounce on him. I love to take his big bushy tail and tug on it!”

3. Boudreaux says, “I don’t like for Fiona to play with any toys. Mom and Dad keep buying her Fiona-sized toys, but I take them away very quickly. Stuffed toys with squeakers are my favorite, but the squeaker is going to be out of that toy within five minutes of them giving it to me. Then I like to play with the squeaker the way would. After the squeaker comes out, I spend about 20 minutes making sure all of the stuffing comes out of the toy until it’s just a shell. They don’t buy stuffed toys for me much anymore. I can’t figure out why.”
4. Fiona says, “I am a true lap dog. I have to be touching you. If you get off the couch I’m going to follow you where ever you go. Then once you sit back down I’m going to get right back in your lap. At night, when you sleep, I’m going to cuddle up next to you, but I’m not happy unless I’m pressed up next to you. My mom doesn’t like this because it makes her too hot and she moves me over, but I always go right back.”
“And I’m officially ignoring everyone in my family for posting another picture of me in the diaper.”

5. Boudreaux says, “There’s a little dance I do every time I get a big treat. I take it into the living room and toss it in the air and hop all around it. It brings the house down every time. I also like socks. I get the lid off of the hamper and find my mom’s socks and walk around with them hanging out of my mouth. Then they chase me around until I let go of them. Here’s a picture of my Dad chasing me through the park a couple of years ago.”

6. Boudreaux says, “My mom likes to sing and dance around the house. It gets me so excited that I can’t stand it. I always hop up on her and bark. I’m just trying to sing along. She likes to sing and dance while she cooks, but she doesn’t like me in the kitchen when she cooks. Rules schmules!”

5 The Heckathorns December 17, 2008 at 12:05 pm

That diaper is the funniest thing i’ve seen in a while. :) Dogs have taken over huh? Gotta warn my cats. LOL! :)

6 Lauren December 17, 2008 at 12:06 pm

Wow – Boudreaux sounds exactly like my black lab Bennett! I love the picture of you and Boudreaux in the kitchen!

I swear Bourdreaux and Baxley were from the same litter. He immediately destroys any stuffed toy including the indestructable fire hose we bought him. And as soon as the squeeker is out we never see it again. :)

I wish we could manage to keep Abe out of our tiny little kitchen! If either of us is in there cooking he plops down on the rug in front of the sink. TOTALLY in the way of everything!!

What a fun post! Thanks for brightening my crazy busy day and hello…that apron is totally calling my name :-)

19 SassyEngineer December 17, 2008 at 4:12 pm

Okay – that was way too cute! I love dogs and hearing all about their funny habits!

20 Courtney December 17, 2008 at 6:06 pm

Boudreaux and Fiona were great hosts today! They sound a lot like our two (down to the mismatch in size and the high-pitched squeak from the little one when playing, with a retreat only to be followed by another “attack” by the little one!) The photo of you and Bourdreaux “dancing” is precious, and I love your apron. This was so sweet and funny, thanks!

21 jlc December 17, 2008 at 10:53 pm

Too cute!!

22 Piper Jacquelyn December 18, 2008 at 1:55 pm

What beautifully fluffy pups! I’m so jealous, what I wouldn’t do for another golden retriever!

23 Melissa December 18, 2008 at 3:02 pm

Your dogs are the cutest :)

24 USCEmily December 18, 2008 at 3:43 pm

Ok, E- after reading your blog and others religiously, I have finally created my own- YIKES! I’m sure I don’t have neary as much to talk about, but we’ll see. I’m going to need a lot of help with this whole layout stuff. Right now it’s pretty boring.
But here’s the link: http://erourk.blogspot.com/
