Sleeping Position II

HA-WOO!! Togo's done it again!

We thought we got his weirdest sleeping position ever, but he's not done, apparently.

The furkid was hugging daddy's furry leg and chewing his rawhide bone when suddenly he went very very quiet.

He'd drop off to sleep ...



... with the bone still in his mouth!


Hahahahahahhahahaa.

Shred

Thou shalt not trust a tyrant, even when he is making angel faces.



Thou shalt not leave a tyrant unattended with a toilet roll within reach.

Sleeping Position

We frequently catch Togo is all sorts of weird sleeping position, but this has got to be THE weirdest.

I was working away at my mini table and the tyrant wriggled his way under my chair and dropped off to sleep. Like this :




Hahahahahahaha.

I had to laugh silently so as not to wake him up. Then I slowly crawled to the camera and managed to get a few good shots.

He was sleeping like this for about half an hour!

Pee Update

Thanks everyone for the tips on the previous post. Togo has been toilet-trained early on and knows where to do his pee pee - this marking habit is new. He doesn't full on pee, just enough to stake his territory. Glad to say that he haven't attempted any more markings in the house lately.

Amber: That coke bottle tip is interesting! Unfortunately he doesn't pee at any one spot so we can't use it. I'm passing the tip on to my friends who have this problem though, the tip is just so cool!

Pee aside, here's a pic of Togo's back. We think his markings are just perfect, but then he's our boy and were sure to think the world of him. Isn't he just beautiful. :-)

Pee Wee

Togo is 8 months old today!

He's almost an adult, and he's suddenly discovered the great joy of marking his territory. He has started peeing here and there to claim his domain, including in the house! Of course he gets a good shelling when he does it inside the house, so he rarely attempts this.

Is there a correct way to break him out of this instinct?
Let me know if you do.
Togo Mommy is not enjoying mopping up pee.

Being Scrat

Remember this post about Scrat (from the movie Ice Age) and Togo?

Here's another photo comparison.
We might have been rearing a squirrel all this while!

Brothers & Sisters

News: Togo's real mom and dad are proud parents of brand new litter of four puppies!

To those of you itching to kidnap Togo, here's the next best thing - his siblings! Haha, if you really want a husky and ready to give up on your furniture and garden, drop me a line at sharkgila@yahoo.com

Photos later. The kiddos haven't opened their eyes yet.

Pop

Togo Daddy is feeling loads better now, with only traces of flu left. Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

Togo is fine too, barring a few misbehaves now and then. (ok, ok, a few misbehaves a day is closer to the truth).

Togo has not been photographed much, thanks to a buzy (ok, ok, lazy) Togo Mommy. So here's an old photo of Togo in his favorite garden past time - chewing Mommy's plants.

Amuse

Togo Daddy's been down with very bad fever, and I've been busy with work, so Togo was left to amuse himself for most part of the weekend.

Which he did spectacularly, like this.

Bath

Bath-time. Gah.


Why??! Why?? You like me looking like a wet rat, Daddy?

Blue

This is the story of the blue wira.

Huskies are extremely extremely friendly. Togo is no exception. So far he has greeted each and every visitor with jolly welcome. (Which many is commented that is pretty weird, since dogs are generally kept for security, and the tyrant doesn't even deign to bark at strangers. He's a Husky, so there.)

We live in a neighborhood built way back then when households had one car each. With an average of 3 cars per home now, parking is a problem. With a busy banking and shopping area nearby, parking is a BIG problem. We frequently get I-can't-bother-to-look-and-pay-for-parking people leaving their vehicles on our street while they go run their errands. Gah.

So anyway these couple-hours parkers are mostly just annoying. But lately we've noticed a blue wira parked DAILY on our street. Daily, as in every work day daily. Wah. Can spend money buy car.. but...

The blue wira comes late for work, and leaves late too. Quite an inconvenience, as cars would already start coming back from work and the blue wira is upsetting the neighborhood parking matrix. And he parks between two houses, whereas we're careful to park one car at a side to save space. He parks at different houses on different days, successfully pissing off just about everyone. He even parked right on the road once, creating a congestion. Eeeeee.

One day I caught the guy parking outside my house. I said:

'Hallo, excuse me, please don't park here.'

'Ah?'

'Please don't park here.'

'Why?'

Because the orion star is 95 degrees north today, that's why. Sheesh.

'Because you park like that, difficult for us.'

'But your house only got one car what.'

WOW. I would like to say I said some witty comeback, but I was speechless, totally floored by the arrogance. How would you know my house got how many car??? For the record, our house has three cars, thank you. Which we cannot stack on each other, thank you.

I was dumbstruck, but, surprisingly, Togo was not! He let out a low, long mean growl. He was sitting (another surprise, usually he's jumping up at the gate at strangers) beside me and looked pretty evil.

I loooove Togo.

The blue wira fart got into his car and moved it elsewhere.
Hahahahhahaaha.

Anyway the blue wira just moved up further, to park in front of other houses for which parking space is limited. He did that for a couple of days, then one day he parked at the mean house - where the owner is fiercely protective of his space and has been known to key cars, deflate tires and break number plates of cars that have no business parking there. I bumped into mean owner that day and remarked on blue wira, and mean owner said: 'Wait.. I will slowly settle him.'

After which I never saw the blue wira on our street again.

So, please. Drive responsibly, and park responsibly.
And Togo is such a dear.
