If my animals were people, this is what I think they’d be:
Fergus would be either a passive-aggressive,
bored housewife or a Bond girl;
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Flo would be someone who got to play video games for a living;
.
.
.
.
.
.
George would be in prison;
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Elsie would be on Ritalin.
.
.
What would your animals be?
I took Flo for her first walk with the gang tonight. She was REALLY badly behaved. She chased another dog that we met on the path and the poor thing ended up back at its car. In fairness to Flo, she was following another of the gang members who started to chase this other dog, but then the pack instinct took over. She’s never done that before. I am so disappointed and think that we’re going to have to go back to lead walking. The other owner was very good about it and said that his dog has done the same thing… but it doesn’t make it any better. 
Don’t get me wrong Flo’s never been an angel; but her behaviour has always been within socially acceptable limits for where we live.
Elsie has been attending puppy preschool for the past couple of weeks. She is a live wire. She’s one of the youngest in the class (but not the smallest), and consequently is a little more distracted than her class mates. I’m not sure that I like this class as much as I liked the one that I took Flo to, but having said that, she’s getting to meet and socialise with other puppies, which is my main reason for taking her. Her second round of vaccinations is next week… that means we’ve still got quite a wait until we can go down to the beach. Looking forward to that day!

Mack would def be an old man in a recliner! Minnie would be a diva with a big closet full of clothes and demanding attention from everyone.
Mario…I think he would be a loving father with lots of puppies surrounding him!
Drools and licks,
Minnie, Mack and foster Mario
Hahahaha! George would be in prison!
Poor George! So is the alter-ego of a passive-aggressive housewife, a Bond girl? That would make me?…?….hmmmm
One day, could you please do a post on what is socially acceptable behaviour at the top end? I suspect that would be a good read.
Poor George my foot! As for socially acceptable behaviour in the top end… it may be true to say that we don’t necessarily hold ourselves to SUCH high standards. But then, in a place where people seem to think it’s socially acceptable to put their four year olds in Bintang t-shirts we’re not going expect to see the best behaved pooches either, are we? Perhaps I should try to raise the bar?! Or maybe I should put Flo in a Bintang t-shirt. Now there’s an idea!
Oh come on! Where’s your sense of humour? It’s better than having a Bintang in the hand! Besides, that’s all part and parcel of going troppo
Yeah, that and a ZZ Top beard. I don’t want one of them either.
WTH is a Bintang t-shirt? LOL BTW Delilah was horrific at agility class last night. I wonder what’s up with that? I’m sure you were horribly embarrassed. I know, I know, been there, done that. But you just keep working with her. Did you manage to recall her or did you wind up chasing her? I will be writing about Delilah’s horrible behavior tomorrow.
I actually didn’t try to recall her – I could tell that it was useless… and I’m a big proponent in not using her name if I know for sure she’s going to ignore it, especially in that kind of situation, but I did whistle for her as she can be more responsive to that.
I didn’t chase her either because they took off into the dense scrub… full of spiders and goodness knows what else. She came back to me after a minute and I put her into a down while the others tracked down the other dog. Flo was on a lead after that. Which is where she’ll be staying. Forever. Grrr.
And Bintang is a kind of beer. It’s Indonesian and, given that we are closer to Bali than any of the big Australian cities, it’s a popular holiday destination. Apparently you have to return with a Bintang t-shirt. No matter how old you are.
Haha he’d be in prison! Love that
Nola would be: a highly dramatic, but very smart and caring, top model
Auggie would be: a cross dresser (it’s a LONG story…)
Boston would be: a therapist
Phee would be: a ditzy cheerleader
Paaahaaaa! I can’t wait to hear your reasons why!!
Haha, well whenever I dress Nola up (my 9 year old niece gets a huge kick outta it), Auggie literally shows his way into the basket where I keep her clothes and sits in it whining at me. If Nola’s wearing something and he’s not, he bites and tugs at what she’s got on till she nips him. He takes Nola’s clothes into his “stash” under the bed. Then when you finally cave into him and put clothes on him he stands perfectly still and puts his paws through the selves, and when you finish he struts around as happy as can be
It’s the most hilarious thing ever
I’ll have to give it some thought for the ‘Team’. I loved this post – also glad I wasn’t the only one who was going to ask what Bintang tshirt is!!
)) ( but I googled it) …..
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the Team!
I love your your desciption of your pack. And the little one is so cute. In the zoo, Louise would be a shy beautiful bookworm, Sofie the party girl, always in trouble with the teacher, Muffin, in his heyday would be the boss, Kitty a neurotic housewife on valium, Noel an aloff business executive, Nine the class clown, and baby Stella, we will just have to wait to see.
Hey Flo, Jet here. Hi Miss H.
Mom guffawed (vocab building project VBP) a few times with your analogies! Mom’s going to have to give some thought to who we would be!
Look forward to hearing them!
If we lose power in the “H”, we’ll have lots of time to ponder!
Some things aren’t for the world stage!
BOL!
Hi Y’all!
Just hoppin’ by to say “hi”.
BOL…if I were a person, since I’m a type A personality, I’d be a big time business exec like you see on the TV Business channels. (My Human thinks I’d join Elsie on Ritalin)
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Fergus looks like my Cookie!
