I made sure to let everyone know it was Teegy's birthday and I bought him a special treat and he learned to swim that day, I have a video of it but not sure how to post it, I did put it on youtube.
I have really thought about a second one, but my concern is the money, the rest of the stuff I don't care about and I just love Teegy so much I kinda don't wanna have to split my affections, does that sound stupid.

1. Sings the "potty song" to her whenever he takes her out to do her business. He made it up and I've heard him singing it to her outside at 11:30 p.m. in the wind and pouring rain.

2. Gives her a "Greenie" by holding it between his teeth and having her jump up on the back of the chair to take it from his mouth. (yes, we give her Greenies, never hand any problems)

3. Takes her in the car whenever he has to run errands.

4. Warms towels in the dryer for bathtime.

5. Gives her hour long "puppy massages" while he watches TV.

6. Warms her crate with a heating pad before he places her in it for the evening.

7. Picks her up, holds her out in front, makes eye contact and dances around the house calling her "Doggie, my little doggie".

8. Ask for "kisses" when he holds her up to his nose (at least 50x per day)
9. Doesn't drive to our summer home cross country anymore, flies, so she won't have to spend 4 days in the car
10. Always goes out in the dark with a flashlight so she doesn't have to potty in the dark

I could go on and on , but I think you get the idea. There are times when I wonder if he loves his furbaby more than his wife. Tee-hee! Remember he was NOT a dog person. Oh, how my life and his was changed forever by a 3.5 lb. Yorkie.

1-Putting boots on a dogs because it was snowing.

3-Expressing anal glands (still not a fan)
4-Excited over poop (when sick)
5-Excitement over food eating (when sick)
6-Doing a wash/massage of a doggie bootie (Meadow-see album about her sphincter)
7-Getting up in the middle of the night and rushing to an ER vet due to shaking and vomitting (of a dog).
8-Getting on my hands and knees and smelling the liquid on the kitchen floor to see if it was pee or a melted ice cube.
9-Buying only dog approved yard treatment
10-Fretting over vacation, work schedule, date nights with my beautiful wife, all around the kids schedule....(we don't have human kids--yet, but one is on the way!)
One more combo: Collecting poop samples, trying to get a urine sample and stick a tray under them while potty. :)

Great thread! I can relate to all of them especially the clothing and rearranging my entire life so they can go, or I stay home because I don't want to leave them.

How about...

Buying them a stroller so they can go more places with me and if they get tired they can ride. I never thought I would see the day when my hubby (who made fun of me when I got the stroller) takes the stroller from me and pushes the babies all through the park and he doesn't care who sees him or what they think. lol I love it. If *I* try to push the stroller he will step in and push right on ahead of me so he can push them.

My husband would always laugh and shake his head when he would overhear the guy saying Daddy's baby this and Daddy's baby that. My husband would remark, "If I ever say such things or act that way, just shoot me" Well, now we got 2 yorkies and all he says is Daddy's Babies this and Daddy's baby that. He hands feed them. They refuse to eat theirselves because of this:rolleyes:In fact now as I type he is hand feeding them their dinner which is chicken,sweet pototoes and rice:rolleyes:I always laugh at him and ask him if he wants me to "shoot" him yet for acting this way:pHe says he just never would have believed that he would love them and be so attached to them like he is.:D

You Win Too!



This is called "Making sure your Furbaby gets enough exercise" although you seem to be in denial!


Salazark: You forgot? She made an entire, complete agility set out of PVC pipe to train her furbaby!
