Sidney the Spaz....

My dog Sidney truly is a sweetheart....he is gentle and loving....and i can count on one hand how many times he has barked out loud in the past 3 years.... However, as great as he is...he is completely passive aggressive, and emotional.....for example...some dogs, if they know they are in trouble, will run away....my dog will sit there, hunched over, give you the saddest look you have ever seen....and then proceed to pee all over the floor..... or a more recent occurrence was this weekend, when he heard the water in the tub running, and got so scared of getting a bath that he ran under the dining table and pooped....

The way he acts, you would think he was an un-housebroken abused backyard dog from a shelter.... but please believe that this dog is most certainly housebroken, lives in the lap of luxury, and is immersed in love and tenderness nearly every second of the day.... in fact, he often gets sweeter words from my husband than i do!

Sidney's spazticness never ceases to amaze me, and this was made even more apparent a couple of weeks ago when I bought this sweet little bed for him, so he wouldn't have to sleep under our bed... Mind you....the whole sleeping under the bed habit formed when we were dog sitting, and the dog we were watching chased him under our bed...where he remained for the next 4 days until the dog left......So there i am, all excited at Target picking out something comfy for him that matches the rest of our master bedroom....but of course...when i bring it home, my dog the spaz is completely scared of it! He will sit in it for about 30 seconds....and i have to pet him the whole time....if i stop he runs away scarred.....see the proof below...

Oh well....i tried....i guess as long as he doesn't have any "emotional outbursts" under the bed at night....we can leave well enough alone....
