He wasn't cute last night He's been spoiled this mutt! The family that owns him (both parents and 3 teenage girls) have made him a totally inside dog with all rights and privileges a hudog expects! He's well loved I can tell you!

So ... we when we locked him in the laundry room (adjacent to the kitchen) and a shared wall with our bedroom ensuite, the howling began! This wasn't Libby's bedroom! He might have had his toys, his own little bed, and yes Bambi ... his favourite ball ... but this was NOT Libby's bedroom!

He did respond to a good scolding though so he only woke us up about 3 times I think. Then at 4.30am my wife got up to go riding with a friend. I got back to sleep quickly ... and at 5.06am ... more howling. That's the end of the night for me ... I have to be at work at 8am and get my mornings ph.ca fix so up I get and, dragged my 3/4's naked ass around following the noise. He's outside ... howling and knocking to be let in. My wife must have been gone about 2 minutes by my reckoning before he'd started up.
He craves attention big time ... so affectionate.

He's a cross between a Staffy and I think two other dogs which has resulted in a hairy sausage dog. He's about 20 cms tall to his back ...and about 4 meters long!!! His tongue is only out done by his tail ... just.

He's funny with his ball ... loves it to death ... chews on it, chases it ... brings it to you but will NOT give it up! He runs faster backwards (in a straight line) when you try to get that ball off him that he does forwards!!

In the photo above of Chantelle and Marly you can see my twin logs that I got the shot of the Rainbow Lorikeets on. Not sure how he'll react to them if they come around.

I'll endeavour to get plenty more shots of Marly over the 3 weeks we have him ... he's so damn fast, never stops moving ... for the moment though, for those who hadn't found it ... here's another thread of Marly from a few months back ... http://www.photography.ca/Forums/f20...lons-5324.html

Aha! He's quickly getting your number

fastest way to teach a dog to drop a ball? offer him a treat when he comes back with it. He'll drop it and you can get it. If you chase it leads to a fun game I like to call 'silly bugger' (guess who's the silly bugger? ).

If he's used to being in a bedroom then he's lonely and letting you know. :cry-an: Of course I shared my side of the bed with a wee aussie who wanted to snuggle..... The affection requesting may be high because he feels uncertain. Once he's more secure it should decline. Unless of course, he is spoiled. But who would spoil a dog? Not I! yeah right.

oh and your wife got up at 4:30 to go riding??????
