Silent Giant

I'm Hunter...

I'm probably the chillest, sweetest dog you will ever meet. Mom has a hard time with me though becuase she's a little over zealous when it comes to the huggin and I'm just not that into the mooshy stuff. Mom tried to train me a few years back. She, as well as the trainer, realized real quick like that not only am I "chilled".. I'm also very stubborn and smart! Every since then I'm kinda apprehensive of mom because I'm afraid she's going to put that horrible leash on me so I pretty much only let her love on me when I'm not in the mood to get up and move out of her way. Don't get me wrong!! I love hugs and scratches just as much as the next guy... I just don't like them for long cause I like my space.

I spend most of my time laying in the sun and barking at other dogs I hear in my neighborhood. I am the protector of my household and my bark is deep and frightful to those who don't know me. Don't tell mom though... I secretly let other people and animals into our yard so I can play with them from time to time. Then when I see her or another member of my family come outside I act all brave and protective and chase off the stranger.

I really kinda liked that little aggrevating doxy... Abby. I was nervous about her at first when she was tiny but grew to love to play with her as she grew up. I would knock her over with one of my paws and loved seeing her go rolling by. : ) I really miss her now that she's no longer around. When my family buried her a few weeks ago I layed very close by and let them love on me when it was all over. I provided lots of comfort for them when they most needed it.

Now we have another little aggrevating doxy living with us. I don't know what to think of her yet. She's annoying to say the least but I make sure to stay far enough away so she can't pester me. I'm sure one day I'll get bored and just for fun let her touch me. I'll humor her a bit and then go about my business again. I know my family likes to see that kind of thing so I'll do my best to make them happy.

My mom is always worried about me getting hurt now that Abby is gone. Dad is in the process of checking into fences for me. But I really don't want to be fenced in... I hope he gets a great big one so I have plenty of room to play!
