The top picture is my favorite because he looks like a vampire dog--his lower teeth look like upper fangs to me.
He really needed a brushing that day, so I'm not sure why we took his picture. He loves to fetch or play soccer. It's hard to tire him out. But once in a while he'll get winded and take a break by going to get the toy, but not bringing it back right away.
He has worked hard to train us and has patience when we're not smart enough to do what he wants us to do. Sometimes I don't see the toy he puts at my feet, so he'll nudge me and then look at the toy. His eyes go back and forth...looking at me, looking at the toy, looking at me, looking at the toy. If I don't understand his message, he'll talk to me softy (row, row, row). If I still don't understand, he'll talk a little louder (herooooow, row). If somehow I still don't understand, he'll shake his head (as he thinks "that boy ain't right") and take his toy to one of his humans with more sense. He never gets angry.
He's such a good dog he's even willing to share his food and water bowls with guests. He's not territorial--unless you're the mailman, a vaccum, or a baby...yeah, I don't understand that last one either!
Aw I love dogs! My boyfriend has a maltese/shitzu & sometimes he isn't the brightest so when we play fetch he'll either go run for it and see something beside it and bring that back instead, or go fetch it and not bring it back, haha, but it's fun regardless!
ReplyDeleteYou're right about him looking like a Vampire Dog in the first photo. He looks very clean and friendly, good job :)
ReplyDeleteawww i looove dogs! i wish my brother's dog is as patient as Bandit... Bello's either mad and trying to bit you orrrr happy and still trying to bite you =_=
ReplyDelete<3
I know what Bandit is thinking every time you two have a communication gap, "oh this human, when will he ever learn?"
ReplyDeleteAwww he is such a cutie! But tough as well :) I'd really love to have a dog but can't, so I'll just live through all you people-who-have-dogs' stories :D
ReplyDeleteawh... that is so sweet... i have a japanese spitz dog, sweet but noisy... this is a nice post about ur dog...
ReplyDeleteOH HE IS SO CUTE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd he does look like a vampire. haha! I love how dogs place toys at your feet and wait for you to play with them. They are so smart =)
I loveeee dogs!! always had a few around the house, but then we stopped because it's too much pain to watch them die (at some point). I cried enough T.T
ReplyDeleteI wanna hug Bandit *hugs hugs hugs*
That is SOOOO cute!!!! I love dogs!

Bandit is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteA lipbalm? Why don't you go for Smith's Rosebud Salve? I heard that it's really good! And you can surprise your wife with your puckers smelling like roses heheee~
No it wasn't anonymous which made it worst! I had to face him like daily? *urghh* Anyways, the title was really apt as he was really invisible to me. At that time, I was vainer than now (I can't believe it either!) and I couldn't be bothered to talk to him as I felt that he wasn't good looking (if I showed you a picture, you'd wholeheartedly agree with me =P). But I got over that and we are friends now hahaa
awwww he's so cute :)
ReplyDeleteyayy pictures of bandit! i'm loving the vampireish photograph of him!
ReplyDeletep.s. never made ex-lax brownies, but maybe i should try, haha.
LOL ur hairy child is sooo cute.
ReplyDeletemy cat makes noises like that too, like little squeaks that make his whiskers wiggle. hahaha he also plays fetch with my hair bands (loves my hair accessories and makeup brushes for some reason...don't ask)
he looks very happy...
and the innocent look seems to happen when i look up, like at a camera or tall person ha!! faking sincerity, get outta here...lol
@applePIE: What a short attention span! LOL But he sounds very cute.
ReplyDelete@r u s s: Sometimes he's overly friendly, but he just loves people--and fetching.
@LOLanne: Oh no! I hope his nips are not too firm.
@Leah: haha, you're right! I'm lucky he hasn't traded me in.
@// krissy ♥: But maybe someday--it's so nice to have a dog greet you at the door when you get home.
@Ailee Verzosa: Your dog sounds cute!
@eQ: and so loyal and lovable...it would be nice to know more people like that. =)
@acutelife: He would like that--he's part attention hound!
@Elaine: He's a good boy.
@Blair: Rose smell might get me in trouble. LOL! and I don't believe you are vain! =)
@Shibby: He's spoiled too.
@Christy: Haha, I don't want to be a bad influence--make sure he doesn't have any appointments later if you do it!
@sssdawna: That's cute about the hair bands! The toon was Johnny Bravo
he is adorable!! "he has worked hard to train us" - this is hilarious! ahahha you made it sounded like as if you're the pet and not him. ahahhahaha. but i get what you were saying :P

ReplyDeleteMy friend also has a border collie <33
Do you mind me following your blog??
Rick, your stories never fail to make me smile.
ReplyDeletehe looks adorable :D sounds like he has a great personality too. and healthy :)
ReplyDeleteoh, i don't think he needs any combing. he looks fabulous either way, i bet!
ReplyDeleteif it is any consolation, i think the only reason he gets all territorial with babies is because he's insecure. i mean, you know how adorable babies are. it must be the competition of who's cuter. hahh!
but i'll give him credit for his patience in training you and man, am i glad i'm not a vacuum! i'm a clay pot, see.
ok... I see dogs everywhere... :(
ReplyDeleteI want one so bad, and Bandit does really look like a cute and good dog!
I think I'm going to boycot every blog who's posting about their doggies... :P
loves
