a very cute sleepy robin.
love me.
my beautiful boyfriend nothing got a cute little pocket beagle puppy that he named Loki. personally i love animals and beagles especially i've always had an affinity for so i'm really happy for him. if i hadnt gotten Robin, my german shepherd, i probably would have gone with a beagle as they're such adorable, well mannered little dogs. but my purpose in getting a dog was, not much unlike Nothing, for the purpose of having a service dog. back when i had schism, my cocker spaniel mix who was killed, we were talking about getting a service dog certification for him but we werent sure that we would be able to because Schism was way too much of an overprotective little animal. which you'd think would be good in a service dog, but if someone was around and he was there he wouldnt let them go near me, you couldnt pet him if he was around me, etc. he was just way obsessed with me.
i miss Schism alot... he was a great dog and i loved him but to have him as a dog that would be with me all the time wouldnt have worked out. weird little blessing-in-disguises i guess, however unfortunate it may be. so id always been fond of beagles but i knew when i was going to get a new dog that we would be doing the service dog thing and really i know very little about the beagles as far as their trainability and whatnot, so we went with the german shepherd. which was also a familiarity thing. when i was little we had a beautiful white shepherd named Taylor and then of course my girl Moxy who was Taylors daughter and those were my first two experiences with dogs, they were both amazingly beautiful sweet animals and i guess now having a White shepherd Robin as a therapy dog its like... very comfortable and familiar as well as knowing how to train them and that shepherds are VERY smart dogs.
so looking at all the pictures of Nothing's cute little beaglet made me jealous, but also very thankful and proud of my own little service dog Robin.
he has a whole little repertoire of 'tricks' and things he does that pretty much make him one of the most amazing animals ever. he "touches" which is like a little circus trick where you point somewhere and he goes and nudges wherever you're pointing with his nose, he gives big cute little puppy kisses on command, stands up on his back paws like a little bunnyrabbit and kisses, wakes me up by pulling my blankets off of me if i sleep past a specific time cause its not healthy for me to sleep all day which i would do if he let me, lol... and theres some other stuff as well as the basic sit/down/stay/come/etc. he's one of the most well-trained dogs ive had as well and i did pretty much all of the training myself apart from his p.SD certification training class thing that i did WITH him but the trainer there showed me hands on some of the training for that. but Robin is a lot different than Schism and he comes with me EVERYWHERE- to work, on the town, when i travel, he's even coming with me to africa, so he's going to be a very worldly beast of a dog. and he's very well tempered, doesnt fright or jump or bark at other dogs, and absolutely LOVES people- all people, especially new people, which is actually weird for a sheperd because usually german shepherds are very standoffish and need people to be almost sort of 'initiated' into their life for them to accept them as one of the pack persay. robin loves me and it by my side all day in and out, but thats not to say his personality is that of a 'one man dog' - he loves everybody, if he's off the leash and someone new comes around he'll like... CHARGE THEM barking like crazy and its funny when people dont know better and just see this giant german shepherd that looks like a wolf charging at them but then once he gets close to you he puts his ears down and waggles his little butt over to you and he HAS to get you a gift- he runs and picks up the first thing he sees on the ground and circles around and around you whining and whimpering until you pet him and take whatever is in his mouth that he's giving you. and then he just attack you with kisses. cutest greeting ever. sometimes i leave my house without him just so that i can come back in a a few minutes and get one of his cute little robin-gift greetings.
Robin and Loki should become friends ;D
thats all i have to say about that.... now go admire 50 million pictures of my goofball puppy.
