Mojo's Birthday...

was yesterday. He's 10! YAY for Mojo! He's the same age as Anna! Only until August, though. Mojo would like Anna. She doesn't really like having Molly on her bed because she takes up too much room, but she doesn't make her get off because she is a sucker for a dog who loves her and loves to be up on her bed with her. She also is the one who from toddlerhood would break my rules about no treats for dogs unless they do something for it by telling me the dog was sitting so it earned a treat. -- Paula "Anyway, other people are weird, but sometimes they have candy, so it's best to try to get along with them."

She doesn't really like having Molly on her bed because she takes up too much room, but she doesn't make her get off because she is a sucker for a dog who loves her and loves to be up on her bed with her. Anna would like Mojo then. When he does get on the bed despite his size, he's always been the best dog to sleep with (until he invariably gets too hot and gets down.) He makes himself into a small Mojo lump in a ball that HE thinks is little and he is ever so quiet and still and stays in one spot. Once in a great while he'll stretch out but he always moves over when you get in the bed to make room for you. Good thing too because trying to move him is impossible once he goes slack as he is part black hole and has condensed all the atmosphere around him into his body making his so dense stars can no longer emit light. Must be a thoughtful GSD thing. When Molly is on her dog bed, she spreads out and takes up tons of space. But when she is on Anna's bed or a couch, she curls up as small as she can get. Her new "thing" is to be up on the couch in front of the upstairs tv. It is definitely the most used couch in the house so I am sure it smells like her favorite people. It is actually just a love seat, though. When Anna and Mimi and I watch tv upstairs, we all sit in it and fit, but all comfy cozy. So now that Molly likes to sleep on it, we sometimes have to tell her to move it. She first tries to scrunch herself up tighter to make room for us while she stays on the couch. It's pretty hilarious, actually, to see her scrunching her 90 pounds into what she is hoping is a small enough section to be able to join the snuggle party and sit there with a big grin and wagging tail looking at you with those delighted brown eyes. When told to move it again, she jumps off the couch. You can tell she is disappointed, but she doesn't sulk more than about 5 seconds. Then she lays out full length on the floor in front of the love seat so that every single foot of every person on the couch must be touching her. Then she starts wiggling so that she creates her own massage with the girls' feet. She always puts her head near whatever end I am sitting on so that I can scritch her neck with my toes. The girls aren't all that good at fine maneuvering like that. It's amazing how she has it all figured out for maximum lovies and minimum trouble to her humans. "If I'm on the couch, I'll be no trouble by making myself small enough not to cramp you. If I'm not, I'll position myself so you can pet me with almost no effort at all. Now, tell me, am I the bestest dog ever or what?" And then the girls start telling her she is so pretty and she gets so riled up she has to go dance for a while before coming back and settling in for more foot rubbings. -- Paula "Anyway, other people are weird, but sometimes they have candy, so it's best to try to get along with them."
