Your Canine Behavior Type Index is

OBH - Defender

I am an Organized, Alpha and High Activity type which we call the Defender.
The Defender's social position is ambiguous due its Beta (B) nature and it may appear to be a leader or a follower at various times.
Defenders are flexible about social structure but their Organised (O) factor means that environmental order and clear rules are preferred. In the 'original wolf pack' Defenders could easily fill any positions vacated due to illness or accident.

Look at My Balls!

My Old Balls

They Are Wearing Out Oh No!

Book Bought More from eBay

Now my Box is Full of Balls

And they are all for me.
I do like chasing them.
And jumping and catching them is pretty good too.

Thanks Book!

Revenge!

Even if Book wont let me eat cats, I know now there is a lolcat-eating dog out there. Somewhere. Eating for the team.
Sorry.
But I hates cats.
And Book makes me behave.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Thursday Night Went a Bit Haywire!

BF is in France. Book said. Dunno where that is, but it must be a long way away.
Haven't seen her for ages now.
So Thursday Kay came here again.
And she bought a puppy to play with.

Now I like puppies.
They smell good, and are fun to play with.
But Haywire - he is a bit - different.

He kept stealing all my stuff.
My toast. My bone. My bed.
He never stopped.

I even went and hid in the kitchen.
Then PantsBoy came and made me move.
And he spotted me again.

See, I told you he was different!

Haywire. Devil Dog.

Really, he is soft and sweet and fluffy.
But unsleeping and energetic.
Too much, really.
Now here are some nice pictures of him.
Otherwise Kay might never bring another puppy for me to play with!

And, just to prove he does, sometimes, occasionally, sleep

Haywire is Sleeping

Too Much Water!

After all the rain, the brook ran fast.
And deep.
I did not want to go in it at all.
But suddenly
Book was on one side and I was on the other!
And I had to get over.
See how wide it had got.
See how deep it had got!
And listen to the wind.

Damn all this rain anyways.

When Will This Rain Stop?

When Will This Rain Stop?, originally uploaded by Bookmole's Pictures.

This summer has just been rain, rain and more rain.
There is flooding.
There is damp washing.
And there is restricted walks.
Please, make the rain stop!

How to Make a Persian Cat

How To Make a Persian Cat

OK. I know this is naughty.
But it's funny too.
Book would never let me do this to a cat.
Shame really....

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?

Heidi Beidi's Blog
Jul 13, 2007

If the Dog is a:

Golden Retriever:
The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?

Border Collie:
Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

Dachshund:
You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

Rottweiler:
Make me.

Boxer:
Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

Labrador:
Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!

German Shepherd:
I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

Jack Russell Terrier:
I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

Old English Sheep Dog:
Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!

Cocker Spaniel:
Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

Chihuahua:
Yo quiero Taco Bulb. Or "We don't need no stinking light bulb."

Greyhound:
It isn't moving. Who cares?

Australian Shepherd:
First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

Poodle:
I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

Things People should learn from Dogs

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.

Let others know when they've invaded your territory.

Take naps and stretch before rising.

Run, romp and play daily.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout...run right back and make friends.

Bond with your pack.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Why are Humans so Messy?

Humans are such messy creatures. Book took these photos on ONE walk round the park. 75 pieces of litter on one walk.

You smoke cigarettes that kill you, then leave the packet lying around. You buy bottled water, when tap water is fine, then leave the bottle so you cannot use it again. More litter.

Polystyrene - which is very bad because it does not show up on x-rays, and if small particles are breathed in, they will cause pneumonic inflamation of the lungs. So Book sez, anyway. She does use some big words!

Cans, that will rust and cut me if I do not see them in time. Food packets. Crisps. Bottle tops.

Why do humans need to eat so much anyway? I manage on two meals a day.
And I have them indoors. Please - take it home with you.

Here are some of the pictures. The rest are in My Collections.
Take a look if you want to see just how much junk you humans can scatter.
