Vorsicht Hund!


I have a mental dog, his name is Asher. He barks at reflections on the ceiling. When we installed a ceiling fan, he growled at it for 2 days. If I blow bubbles for the kids, he goes berserk and eats them.(The bubbles, not the kids...).We got him from a shelter when he was a puppy and god knows what happened to him before we rescued him.
But he's a great dog...very loyal and nice, unless you're a 'possum wandering through our backyard. He doesn't fall for the "playing possum" trick. (I now search the yard before letting him out).
Ever since our cat died, Asher has become more mental(if that's possible)...He liked to play with the cat and now takes out his sorrow on books. I don't why, but he seems to prefer cookbooks and childrens' books.
Ah well, he's still an excellent guard dog and we overlook his quirks. If you're thinking of getting a dog, consider a shelter animal, maybe you'll get lucky and get a dog like Asher!
