This is a neighbor's dog. He periodically comes to visit us and when he does, he is usually glued to my side and follows me EVERYWHERE on the property. If I get out of sight, he gets worried and comes looking for me. Usually he's just walking beside me, almost like a guide dog. If I stop, he stops and waits.
He's a sweetheart. His name is Rebel.
I took his picture and when the shutter clicked, he did the little head turn to the side dogs do that is so freakin' adorable.
I told him I'd put him on the blog and he'd get comments from around the world, but he seemed unimpressed.
Rebel may be training you. Watch out! Dogs are addictive. You will discover you can talk to him with ease and when he is absent, you will be wanting one of your own.
ReplyDeleteI can so understand that. I was out there this weekend and he wasn't around and I looked for him. ;-( We'll have dogs for sure when we get out there full time.
DeleteGood Dog!
ReplyDeleteVery good dog. :-)
Deleteawwww....tooo cute!
ReplyDeleteIsn't he? Just a happy dog.
DeleteHe certainly is adorable - looks like you've got yourself a dog ! lucky you.
ReplyDeleteHa, he is over visiting more often lately (except last weekend, I missed him).
DeleteWhat a handsome fella, I should think he would be good at letting you know if thee are strangers about too, he must see you as a member of his pack :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, he does that stop and close the mouth and ears up look to see if someone drives past the road. Five seconds later he's panting and happy, but definitely vigilant. Even on our property which isn't really his, ha.
DeleteHe has such a happy, friendly look on his face!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought the first time I saw him, he was a very happy dog for sure.
Deletehello Rebel you handsome fella, best wishes from Northern Ontario Canada
ReplyDeleteI will pass that along to him. Thanks!!!
Delete:} love that side pose. I guess he figures that was his good side :}
ReplyDeleteRebel; you are an adorable dog
I really was talking to him and taking pics and he went from looking up at me to just turned his head to the side, not even looking at anything in particular, ha
DeleteHe's a lovely baby.......we visit with the paper girls pup now....another sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteAw, that's cool. It's nice getting to visit with other dogs and get the love and attention. ;-)
DeleteHe's beautiful. I would be lost without our dog, great companion, great rat catcher, great snake alert, great watch dog, I could go on and on. Something for the farm when you're out there permanently!
ReplyDeleteWe will DEFINITELY have a dog when we are out there full time. They are so necessary aren't they?
DeleteWoof woof woof Hello Rebel. Good dog.
ReplyDeleteI hope he will appreciate that, ha. Thanks!!
DeleteYup, he's getting you hooked!
ReplyDeleteResistance is futile???
DeleteI do love me a Shepherd. I learned to walk pulling myself up on the tail of ours. And also teethed on his very patient ears.
ReplyDeleteAwww, that's a sweet memory, thanks for sharing that!!!
DeleteThat dog is freaking gorgeous. I want him! HA! Yes, as everyone has said, you will get dog fever once you are out there full time. Jenna
ReplyDeleteHe is pretty for sure. And yes, I can see us getting dog fever one of these days, ha. .
DeleteWow, you are lucky, he looks like a sweetheart of a dog.
ReplyDeleteHey, right now you kind of have it like grandparents do, you get to play with him and have him around and then send him home at the end of the day, haha.
Enjoy your puppy time!
Love that analogy, ha Borrowing all the fun and happy times and then he goes back home to eat, ha. Definitely enjoyed the puppy time, thanks!!
Delete1st Man,
ReplyDeleteRebel is training you really well :-)
What a precious dog, he looks like Shepard or Shepard mix.
I am afraid you are correct. I think he's a mix but definitely a lot of shepherd in there somewhere.
DeleteLove the dog and his name, Rebel, which he is not. He is just a happy character jumping out of the pictures. Does he fetch too?? Have a good weekend. M
ReplyDeleteI thought that was a great name too. Might have to remember that for 'someday', ha. I didn't try 'fetch' but you can bet I will next time!!! :-)
DeleteThanks!!
