What could these two pictures possibly have in common? Buzzy is adorable, but he does have a little flaw. He feels compelled to scratch soft fabrics. My new bathroom rug is quickly balding. I have to groom it every time he gets in there. He gives carefull attention to several other rugs, but this one must be substandard. I do tell him,”No!” He is pretty forgiving, just gives me a hurt look and walks away. I’ve thought of flapping him with a hand towel, but that seems a little extreme for a ten-year-old gentleman who’s never endured a flap. I guess I need to buy a better rug or keep the door closed.

Such a beautiful dog, but we all know dogs do what dogs do. Good luck on breaking the habit.

Once he went in the street. My husband picked up a small branch and told him if he did it again he would threaten to hit him with a stick. That was the end of that. Buzzy still tries to get to street. Bud just sticks closer so Buzzy can’t get near away.. I guess old goats CAN learn new tricks.

what kind of dog is Buzzy? Is he a samoyed?

He is an American Eskimo Dog. Weighs about 30 pounds. They are best in homes with no children. He’s scared of children. Wants to be the baby. Very sweet and excellent watch dog. He is our fourth. Our first strayed up and moved in with us. Since then we have bought three. I hope to get a rescue Eskie. Lots are given up since they are hard to train. They act puppyish for many years. I think that’s adorable.

awwh-well, he is adorable. My dad love samoyeds. His last one still lives, though Daddy passed in April.

Does he grieve terribly? My BIL died at home. His dogs saw the whole thing. They seem at peace.

First, who was Bil? and yes the dog “Casper” has missed Daddy , but we did make sure that he visited with Daddy daily, even when Daddy wasn’t responding.

I meant brother in law. I am sorry for you loss, but so glad Caspar has a good home. If my dogs need a home, they will go to my son, and his to me.
