Arrival Story:
Otis came from the Vernon, Texas, rescue; they had picked him up after someone reported having seen him thrown from a truck window on the highway. About 8 months old at the time, Otis was the quiet one in the back of a cage full of yappy puppies. He had the most disdainful look, and I knew then he was the one for me! He came to me at a very difficult time in my life, and I've always believed that HE rescued ME! Everything changes with time, and now he's the BossDog with big responsibilities for a home and family, little brotherdog Tiny, and a monster yard full of rebel squirrels and birds!

Bio:
...his full name is Otis Herman Rutherford Marie - Patricia, for short (long name, long story)...

Forums Motto:

PHILOSOPHICAL ELUCIDATION FROM TH' GOOD OL' BOY IN TEXAS...


Tagged again by my look-alike cuz Cocoa Bug!


June 26th 2008 4:09 am   [link to this entry]

Howdy all youse buddies who wonder what's goin' on, here on the lone dustee prairee, where mostly we just set aroun' & watch the mesquite grow, but I think I can add some more answers to the tag questions if I reach far enough back in the ol' memory:

NAME 4 JOBS YOU HAVE:
1. Adding as much noise as possible when the lawn mower is running, by barking like a dog possessed.
2. Scratching in inappropriate places whenever we have guests.
3. If there's the slightest hint of moisture on the grass in the backyard, I stealthily sneak back towards the bedroom while Brotherdog Tiny wildly runs outside like the silly dog he is (thus distracting Mom - well once in awhile it works...) - no sense in BOTH of us gettin' our paws wet.
4. "Ridin' Shotgun" in the car with my head out the window, any time Mom goes to the post office(it's a secret how I know that's where she's going, and not to the grocery or someplace else I couldn't be left in the car).

NAME 4 PLACES YOU HAVE LIVED:
1. The Vernon, Texas, Humane Society where Mom found me (that one's a repeat).
2. At my wunnerful vet's boarding palace, where they treated me awful nice, while Mom ran off to someplace called Europe with her university choir.
3. At a nice little old house in Wichita Falls which Dad rented to Mom - that's how they met.
4. Mostly, in my own imagination, that I'm King of the World!

NAME 4 PLACES YOU HAVE BEEN:
1. Inside the post office once (see Jobs #4 above) when I jumped out the window and there wasn't anybody else but the postpeople there (you can get away with that sometimes in a little town...)
2. To Lawton, Oklahoma, to visit one of Mom's very bestest friends from the olden days and I got to have my very own hamburger.
3. To the music department office at Mom's university job, where the secretary loves doggies too and sometimes she and some other people bring their doggies late on Friday afternoon and we all have a treat biscuit!
4. I had my first visit to Petco last week after Mom had to take me to the Vet - I didn't like th' slick floors and all the commotion goin' on, though...

NAME 4 PLACES YOU'D RATHER BE:
1. In the backyard, fetching the ball with Dad (he throws it lots farther than Mom but I don't turn her down if she offers)
2. In the middle of Mom & Dad's bed (that's a repeat, but bears repeating...)
3. Eating a special early breakfast - kibble with cheese on top - if Mom gets up before everybody else to read the newspaper.
4. In the neighbor's flower bed, which (known only to me) has the MOST FASCINATING SMELL - just can't get enough (?)

NOW WHO CAN I TAG, 'CAUSE I LOVE THIS GAME 'CAUSE YOU FIND OUT INTERESTING STUFF ABOUT YOUR BUDDIES:
1. Lady Noodles, 356272, one of the 3 A'Beagos, her with the bee-yoo-tee-full eyes
2. Little Miss Princess Pip, 786888, who's gone from fraid-y Petfinder photo to glamour pup in her furever home, even if she is a tomboy terrier!
3. My real family cousin Cassie, 779241, all the way up in New Hampshire, who got to vacation in Florida at the beach this year and be all world-traveler-like and elegant
4. And our favorite Little Mr. Smuckers (I Love My Big Brother), 669815- who has lots of health problems to overcome but he and his mom are such fighters and deserve all good things!! Please visit his page and say special prayers for them!


Happy Birthday Littlebrotherdog Tiny!
