happy bday to ralphie
my totally kick ass puppy turned one the other day. he’s the closest thing i have to a brother. anyway. he’s a smart ass dog. literally a smart ass. you threatened to hit him, he stands up on his legs and tries to smack you with his paws. you don’t give him what he wants and he’ll bite you in the ass. when you get up off the couch for a couple seconds he’ll take your spot. if he doesn’t like what you’re watching on tv he’ll growl until you change it. despite this, he’s a complete kick ass dog. he’s a great listener. yea i know he can’t really understand me…well…not really, but i swear sometimes he does. he can tell when you aren’t in a good mood and he’ll sit on your lap and make you pet him, or he’ll do one of his stupid tricks to make you laugh. when i broke my arm in july he started licking my arm because he knew it was hurt. then when i got my cast on he’d growl at it because he was scared of it. but when someone tried to touch it he’d bark at them and growl his little ass off. when you don’t pay enough attention to him he always does something to get your attention, like jump up on the kitchen table or jump up on the counter or something.
when we got him, sometime after my brithday in february, my mom wanted to call him ralphie. my dad’s dad had always wanted my parents to have a son and then name him after himself. well my mom said that she woudln’t name her kid ralph, but if she ever got a male dog then she would. well…she did…and that’s how ralphie got his name. when we get a female dog i’ve decided to name her marie after my grandmother, and then name their kids after my dad, uncle, and aunts. i know, i think about it way too much.
i’m not really a big fan of small, fluffy dogs but when ralphie came into our home i fel in love with the little guy. for the longest time he wouldn’t sleep unless he was laying on the couch with me or laying in my bed. when i wasn’t with him he would whine until he got me to wake up or someone else to wake me up. he’ll sleep in until i get up just because i’m not there. and when i do get up he’s all over me.
