Bo Says Thank You Auntie Kate

I've mentioned before that our son's dog, Bo, has been living with us for several years. Bo is getting older now. I believe he will be 12 years old this May. He has a nice little coat that he wears when we go for walks. Bo loves his coat. But recently when the temperatures have been so low, I found that his tender ears get really cold on walks. I mentioned this to our daughter Kate who is a whiz with a crochet needle. So Kate made Bo this little scarf.

It can go over his head or be worn down on his neck. Oh my, he loves this scarf! And it does keep his ears quite cozy and warm. Once when we were taking his coat off after a walk, his scarf slipped off by accident. I picked it up thinking I would put it with the leash and coat. But Bo came over and touched the scarf with his nose. And then stretched out his head and neck indicating he wanted me to put it back on. Awwwww!!!!!

Touching things with his nose has always been a form of communication with Bo. Even when he was quite young, if he wanted me to come along outside with him, he would touch my leg with his nose and then look out. Is this something other dogs do? Or is it unique to our Bo, saved off the streets as a puppy?

And Puppy Dog's Tails.....That's What Little Boys Are Made Of

This is Bo!  He is a Boxer/Lab mix (and probably some other stuff too!)  Bo is my son's dog.  He was rescued by my son off the streets 7 years ago.  Bo is staying with us for a while.  So now Lydia has a companion for running in the backyard and letting the neighbor's know that there is an invader in their yard.....one that has little tiny ears and a long busy tail and hides nuts under the trees.  I know the neighbors are so grateful for these barking alarms.

Bo has a sneaky way of getting you to get really close to his face while he looks into your eyes sweetly.  Then when you have your guard down and least expect it, he'll reach over quickly and slurp you right on the neck.   Eewww!  : )  But he means well.

Bo is a funny dog.  He loves bread.  In fact he'd rather eat bread than meat.  One evening recently I was baking some homemade rolls.  Bo ran around all the while tossing his toys in the air and practically skipping down the stairs.  He was a happy and contented boy when he finally got a warm roll straight from the oven.

And since we're in a doggy mood here today, here is a new addition to my shop - a giclee print from an original painting.  This happy Old English Sheep Dog wants to join your home or bless someone as a Christmas gift.
