While we’re in Ethiopia my parents have offered to take care of Brady. I would be remiss if I didn’t share some of his "qualities". It’s important they know what they’re getting themselves into. Here’s my best attempt to describe our yellow lab, Marley—I mean Brady.
Here are some things Brady loves.
Mud puddles, he’ll lay right down in them. My parents have a cow pond that when dogs go in they come out black and very smelly. It seems to me that Brady will find that quickly.
Water
Twig, he prances when he has one in his mouth.
Loves to lay right under you feet when you’re in the kitchen working.
Loves to get in the shower with you. Be warned dad- he’ll try to catch in his mouth what ever is dangling. Dad, if you need further clarification talk with Rick.
He also loves to eat the soap in the shower.
Brady loves to play with the water in his water dish.
He loves to eat panties and socks.
Brady has a toe fetish. We wear socks a lot to avoid his licking and nibbling of our toes.
He loves to cuddle if you’re okay with him lying on your upper body onto your head. Where he’ll lick and nibble your ears and nose.
Here are some things I should warn you about.
Never leave any type of paper where he can reach he will eat any form of paper. This includes books and magazines.
Never try to get his attention while he’s drinking from his water dish. He will stop to look at you and water pours from his jowls.
If you are opposed to large streams of drool do not ask him to wait for his food. You may slip and fall by what is left on the floor. Rick and I have contests on how long we can make the drool hang. Well mostly me because it totally grosses Rick out. O’ the simple pleasures of life.
If you tell him no and then walk away, he may nip you in the butt or else where. Again, Dad best not to go commando with Brady in the house.
If you are sitting and you tell him no, he bonks you with his nose.
He has a bit of vampire in him. When licking he always goes for the neck.
He is very regular after he eats.
He will "go" on command. Be careful where you say go.
Eats everything, rocks, sticks, bark right off the tree, poop and dead animals.
He is always hungry.
Can not tolerate the heat.
He has a dog bed we call his girlfriend. Every night he takes his girlfriend out on a date. If you know what I mean.
He runs side ways.
His farts are very smelly. Not good when you're in the car.
He knocks things over with his nose. Example full glass of water.
One thing you don’t have to worry about-if you have forgotten where you put his food, he will show you.
