Doggy Love

One of the other things that I have noticed about being home is that I now have someone who is always home with me...MY DOG! While I was away at school, I missed my dog Spencer a lot. He likes to cuddle with me and pretty much lets me do what I want to him. I was playing with him the other day, which is a rare thing since he does not really know how to play with people. He is very good at playing with himself! He likes to hold his toys in between his two front paws and roll on to his back to play. He will hold the toy over his head and play with it! It is the cutest thing you will see. I missed this a lot when I was away at school. I even told my mom at one point that I missed Spencer...the funny part is that apparently he misses me when I leave. My parents tell me he gets sad for the next few days after I leave. That's so cute! When I was at school and I was alone sometimes I wished for company. Now that I am home, I have that ability. But as much as I love my dog, he can get on my nerves. He will bark at things that are not even there...it is so annoying! He also barks at you when he has to go the bathroom, most of the time it is really because he has to go, while the rest are because he just wants attention. I do miss his bark sometimes when I am away at school, it is just one way that I remember him. Whenever it storms I miss him. He is afraid of storms because he is a rescue dog. He likes to run and hide near you or he just whimpers because he is afraid. I miss him when I am gone. Spencer is a good dog and he is loves to be around people. After being home for awhile I have noticed a lot more of his habits than I did before. He has certain spots he likes to sleep and certain toys he likes to play with. When I was at school and would just come home occasionally, I did not notice these habits. Well that is semi a lie... I always knew what his favorite toy, it is lamb chop! Does anyone else out there who has a dog see the same things and feel the same way?
