Boog is in love with Duncan butter bean the Golden retriever puppy

Our dear friend catbyte posted pics July 22 in pet forum of Duncan pup heading teb Duncan. Reason I cannot post from my I phone. And I only use our son’s computers to do guitar websites. Our golden retriever mr big paws who is twelve is having a hard time with the new furry guy. A lot of barking growling as mr big paws sniffs him. He will adjust in few weeks this morning I was loving petting mr big paws and he was barking at me. I told my wife he was saying why man why did you bring home your furry love child. As the pup was like two feet away chewing on my sandals.

Boog the first day was a little stand off that didn’t last long. A few growls with tail wags letting Duncan know his place in the pack. And the last two days they’re a crew of two. Boog got into trash barking with mr big paws as he was growling at the pup. Boog was saying the new guy is in my squad he’s part of the platoon knock it off. Boog makes me smile he will follow Duncan lay near him and wag his tale and boog smile. Not sure the pup found a cheese puff ball I do not know where he found it. And came trotting to boog look I got a ball let’s play. And boog ate it and the pup was like hurt you ate my toy.

So far no accidents in house he uses the yard. We eat play poo and sleep. He has been sleeping with my wife and I reason for this is. I’m a light sleeper and he has adjusted well no separation anxiety from momma usually around 01:00 he lets me know hey I gotta use the yard guy then around 04:30 he climbs on my face preening my beard wake up. And no I cannot crate a pup at night dogs are social as we know and they have to sleep as a pack. I go back union yard man in eight days nights so our sons will take over at nights.

He goes into the Tacoma with the boog and man. Riding on my lap. This morning we went to a stream that is low and the three of us played. Duncan followed boog and it got deep for him he started swimming perhaps a foot deep whining scared. Boog was standing pushing his pup with his nose into shallow water. Then boog and man sat and watched Duncan bean play in water. If pup moved to far for boogs comfort mr would go I’ll be back man and nudge him to safety. My wife asked how did the stream go I said it was fine. I said boog and the man love the baby.

I’m a huge Cohen brothers movie fan , and if you ever watched raising Arizona. I told my wife boog and man are John Goodman and William Forsythe characters Gale and Evelle snokes to Duncan pup he’s a baby or the line you never leave a man behind. As I put this down another Cohen movie comes to me oh brother where art thou. When George Clooney daughters tell him Everett that momma has a new man. And they say he’s a suitor he’s bonafide. At this moment Duncan is sleeping on my wife’s desk under her monitor as she works from home. I told her he’s a suitor he’s bonafide.

I love dogs always had dogs since I was young always slept with me . I love our furry friends. Always felt empty with out a dog. Once when I was kid I bought a German Shepard Pup down at Bragg with 325th. Bad idea I was drunk walking out bar parking lot and these people had these pups $20. Next morning it was a Saturday I’m feeding the pup a MRE thinking what the shit did I do. My roommate was like what are we gonna do. So I called my plt sgt he came and the pup stayed with him and mrs plt sgt. until I got leave take him home my parents. Life is great with our furry friends.

How do the older dogs know to protect the little ones? It’s just amazing.

Guy I used to work with told me he never had to worry about his kids playing in the front yard when they were small. His German Shepherd would nudge them back towards the house if they got too close to the road.

Dogs are amazing.
