Must Love Dogs

For some strange reason, Tru seems to LOVE dogs. And I never quite understood why. Every time he sees a dog, big or small, he’ll want to go pat and hug them. Which is translated into: he’ll yank their fur and smack them on the nose, but I’m pretty sure it’s his way of showing affection. (I should know, I’ve got battle scars to show for it)

Except that my mom’s got this 6-year-old West Highland Terrier, Mickey, who is absolutely terrified of thunderstorms and babies. So I’ll watch this classic case of unrequited love replay itself over and over again.

Scene 1:

Enters Mickey.

Tru grins and starts to crawl towards him. “Watachar katatechj”

(Muahaha! Fur-grabbing time)

Mickey growls and walks away, muttering “Grrrr, grrrrr, grrrrr”

(Aaarrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Tru follows closely behind.

Exeunt

It’s tragic, I know. Until one dark and stormy afternoon, love suddenly blossoms.

*Cue cheesy music*

Apparently, between the two evils, the storm is way more terrifying, so Mickey turns to Tru for comfort. As the lightning cracked outside the window, his life flashed before his eyes and he realized that the love of his life was right there all along.

*More cheesy music*

Like every other love story, it ends with Tru and Mickey snuggling in bed and falling asleep. And they live happily every after.

    Dogs can also vary widely in how much exercise they need, how well they do with children and other considerations you might not have thought of. Dogs can also vary widely in how much exercise they need, how well they do with children and other considerations you might not have thought of.

    The evolving relationship between Tru and Mickey is a heartwarming reminder of the unique and sometimes unexpected bonds that can develop between children and pets. It’s fascinating to see how circumstances, like a stormy afternoon, can transform a fearful encounter into a moment of comfort and camaraderie. This story beautifully illustrates that with patience and a bit of time, even the most cautious of pets might find a surprising source of comfort in their youthful human companions.

    This post really made me smile—Tru’s love for dogs is so relatable! It’s amazing how kids can show affection in such unique and often unintentionally hilarious ways. The way you described his “affection” had me chuckling, especially the part about the battle scars. It’s heartwarming to see such genuine moments between children and animals. Thanks for sharing this candid and funny piece—parenting stories like these always make for such great reads! yorkie breeders

    What a sweet design! This crochet puppy appliqué would definitely brighten up any baby blanket or nursery décor. I like that you gave detailed information about the yarn colors you used—Oatmeal and Chocolate sound perfect for a soft, cuddly look. I’ve been looking for simple but charming appliqués to add to my baby gifts, and this one is going straight to the top of my list. Thanks for the inspiration!

    I appreciate how you unpacked the stereotypes in this documentary clip. The idea that animal behavior gets filtered through masculine and feminine expectations is something we don’t often think about. The description of Africa’s plains as “testosterone-fueled battlefields” really highlights how dramatic wording can reinforce gender norms. Your breakdown here shows the importance of critical viewing, especially when it comes to media about science and nature.Dog Carrot Plush Toy
