The Adventures of The Caleb

Dog sappiness

If you have followed this blog for any amount of time you know I have three dogs. I use to be a hardcore cat person. I still love cats but I love plants more then cats. I’ll not go into the transition of my hating dogs to loving dogs because I did that in a previous post last year I believe. If you want to know I’m sure I can find it for you. Anyway I want to talk about the roles my three dogs have played for me thus far.

Vario: He’s five now I believe. My first dog. He was around 6 months old when I adopted him and cute as all hell but damaged. He and I went through a lot of learning together. He is loyal … No obsessed with me and I’ll admit I love it. Generally I love him. I love him for being my first dog and we have a connection.

Conner: He was already three to four years old when I adopted him and I adopted him a few months after vario. He was so sad and pathetic and had been hopped around from shelter to shelter. Conner really was my charity case. I adopted him at of sympathy. He helped Vario through some of his issues. For a long while he and I had not connection at all. There was no loyalty from him to me and while I cared for him I could not really feel much else. We have grown over time to love each other. He’s cost me crazy amount of money in medical bills but it was worth it. That dog has taught me patience and that you have to go about problems different for different people (or animals). I do love him on a different level then I Vario now.

Ink: When I first saw his puppy photo I knew I had to have him, and i use to see TONS of dog and puppy photos and did not feel that way. You couldn’t even really see him that well among his littermates but I knew I had to have that pup. He’s almost five months and I can tell you that he and I are bonded. That’s the easiest way to describe it. Even at 5 months there is such a strong bond and connection between that little pup and I (well not so little, he’s taller then Vario now and weighs almost as much as Vario) and he reacts very strongly to my emotions (poor dog). I know that as he grows he will be MY dog through and through and really don’t even have words for how I feel about that little crazy stubborn puppy.
