Dog Genetics in the Mix
Dec. 7th, 2005 12:15 amWhen The Sweetness was a tiny weeny pup made of warm rubber (as all puppies are) humans ooozed Simper when she gave paw, cooed at being cutely sniffy kissed on the face, and crumbled to teary patheticness when she did Ickle Baby Puppy Hugs. Now that the Sweetness is late teenage, pushing forty (KG) being given paw is a hefty punch, Sniffy Kisses lead to concussion and a Puppy Hug - respiratory collapse.
"FlippinGerroff Yer Fat Rotty Bass. Can't Breev...Urgghggg" has replaced "Awww, Sweetness Wuvs Us"
Arriving home has changed from humans crouching down to greet Sweetness, to them opening the door and running to cower behind furniture. Lying on the kitchen floor in the foetal position while the Sweetness gives them Big Love.
Strange how the Rotty portions of Sweetness genetics get the blame for any of her more demonic behaviour. Whereas the GSD portions are seen as inteligent, angelic and well behaved. The pinch of collie portion is the random Joker gene that gives the main dog endless energy.
