My Pokey Little Puppy

My parents are puppy sitting for me while I'm on the road, and this came to mind for today's blog. My sweet little Bruce reminds me of this childhood favorite book, My Pokey Little Puppy. I thought at this point, I'd offer a few more details about MY pokey little puppy, Bruce.

1. Why did we name him Bruce?
-Upon sight, Maura called our little black lab Batman. We didn't really see naming a dog Batman, but  thought that we could name him Bruce (Bruce Wayne) and Maura could know his true identity. =)

2. Favorite thing to chew on?
-He goes for the pants legs. We're trying to break him from it, but it seems to just be his niche. Other than that, he has a hat that Jeff gave him that he's crazy about.

3. My favorite things about him?
-Aside from him being extremely beautiful, I do have a few things that I just love.
I love the way he pounces across the room when he's hyper... so out of rhythm and just puppy-like. I love the way he always makes a little puppy sound when he yawns. I love the way he tries to lick me, showing his affection. I love that sweet little look he gets when he's confused, and his head tilts from side to side..

Can you tell I miss my pokey little puppy?

Awh. I totally remember that book!

And the Bruce thing is really brilliant. I would have never guessed that.

Thanks =) I have to give credit to Madison on naming him.
