Bear & Wilson

I don't think I have blogged about Bear & Wilson. Bear is our big man and Wilson is my little man. I will post a little bit about both.

Bear:

Chris and I got Bear in December of 2006 at Pet-co. We initially went to get some stuff for a fish tank that Chris had. On our way out of the store there was a shopping cart with a bunch of puppies in it. They were cute, so we stopped and looked. We had been talking about getting a puppy, but was not real sure. After a few minutes of looking we picked this fur ball out and named him Bear. He lived with me before Chris and I got married. 

Every weekend Bear and I would travel to Rainbow City to spend time with Chris. Since we have been married we have had some interesting adventures with Bear. They mostly are about him killing opossums/raccoons and him getting out of his pen. Since we live in a town with a leash law, Bear lives in a 20x20 kennel. He has a tarp that covers half of it so he will stay dry and out of the heat. We have gone through so many tarps, because he rips them up, that I can't even count them. Chris and I say that is his way of letting us know that we need to come out and check on him. 

Here are some facts about him:

*Every morning I walk him (rain, sleet, snow or hail). 

*He hates squirrels, birds or any other animal/person that is not supposed to be in the yard

*Loves drinking out of a cup

*Loves his rope (hates it when I have to wash it)

*Loves to chase bumble bees in the summer

*Likes going to Pet-Co (you have to let him do his business before we go in, or he will do it in the store)

*Likes coming in the house and staying for awhile.

Wilson:

I have had Wilson since he was 6 weeks old. I tried to train him to stay in a small kennel, but that didn't work out at all. So he started sleeping in my bed, under the covers. I house trained him very easy. I felt like a real mother getting up 3 or 4 times a night to take him out. I bought him a rain coat, because I got tired of him being wet and coming back to bed! I would carry him everywhere (except work) that I went. We take him camping and to the park. I even rode him on my wave runner, but he didn't like the wind. He loves going for walks while we are camping, but HATES people on bikes. He is very protective of my mother and I, and is know to bite. Just like most dogs, he doesn't like going to the vet. I once dropped him and put him into shock coming out of the doctors office. Scared me to death!
When Chris and I started dating, he didn't like Chris but has come around to like him. He still barks at him.
Here are a few things about my little man Wilson.

*Loves riding
*Is interested in everything
*Hates it when you make clicking sounds with your fingernails
*Loves to sit in your lap while you eat (Got that from me)
*Hates bees
*Had his picture taken with Santa Claus
