Lol, you nailed it. Muggs didn't know his size, lotta puppy in him. His first friend at the dog park was a Great Dane he could stand underneath of
but they played together excluding all other dogs. Funniest looking pair ever wrestling.
He became the heart of house without trying. Big and always near at hand. In fact he liked laying in strategic spots forcing you to step over him but
never the kind of dog to keep begging for attention. He simply made himself "available".
My dad loved dogs and we were with him when he passed. When dad was in bed Muggs came and sat beside him to get his ear rubbed and dad passed while
rubbing his ear. The personal qualities of my dad have been very much in Muggles since, it's amazing really. Friendly, open, sincere, honest,
enthusiastic, helpful, etc..yet really easy going and never pushy in any way. Never negative either.
How we found him:
Somebody foolishly left Muggles at the pound when he was a few months. I went looking and there must have been 50 dogs up for adoption. He was in a
cage with 2 other dogs both of whom were jumping at the bars like "take us home!" while Gunner (his given name) sat in the back against the far wall
with a "what's the use?" look. I knew he was the dog for us.
Did I get forewarning?
I had a grey fox come right up to my back door last week around 4 am. Also had a titmouse fly in to the sunroom this morning and grab a few spiders
before leaving. Maybe 3rd bird in a dozen years to come in the house.
All our pets are behaving uniquely in response.
Trying to keep everything upbeat to reassure them ( we have a second cat - Scrams).
