OT: Official HF Bruins Board Pet Thread

[Bruinaura]

Hattie sees me sitting on the couch. Jumps into my lap. "Hello I would like snuggles plz." Sits there happy as a clam.

Until she hears a snail glide by on the sidewalk outside.

Hattie: ACTIVATE TASMANIAN DEVIL MODE

She is such a goober but I love her anyway.

Cloudy day. Time to watch the birds together.

Got this guy from my parents. Mostly call him Thor or Thornie, but he was named Thornton by my dad. That's right, after Joe Thornton. Old man is possibly the biggest Joe Thornton supporter amongst Bruins fans who ever lived.

Well, 3 weeks after we had to put Max down, my wife decided that we needed another dog. Today she came home with Gracie. She’s a 4 month old rescue. Malinois/Lab mix. She’s all legs, ears and tail right now but should fill out to a decent size. Really good temperament, good with other dogs, people, and the cat. The cat on the other hand, is not amused and is already hard at work establishing who is boss….They’ll figure it out.

2 months in with our new dog Grace. She’s going on 7 months and is getting fixed on Friday. Belgian Malinois are amazing dogs, but not for everyone. The energy and athleticism is off the charts, but they are incredibly smart and loyal and really eager to please. These are not couch dogs and need to run hard, every day.

If you are a runner, this dog is great and can go 5-10 miles easily. They will also play ball until your arm falls off. Grace and I play 2 ball. I throw one as far as I can and she goes full speed to retrieve, and full speed back to me. As soon as she drops I throw the next one and she never stops running. We do that, full speed for 20min, twice a day. Then she passes out for 15min and is ready to go again. I’ve never seen athleticism in a dog like I have with this breed.

Gets along great with the cat, but can play a little rough with him, but the cat’s holding his own.

New friends

Hattie has a new hobby. When I'm out in the garage she scavenges for leaves she can chew on.

It's official, she's a Bruin fan!

She's had a long day.

Breakfast.

Napping.

Squirrel watching.

A long game of fetch and zoomies with her favorite squeaky toys.

Now it's snooze time again. Rough life.

Spa day again. They had an outdoor holiday market going on in the shopping center where the groomer is, so we walked around outside after she got all fancied up with her hair bows and made a lot of people smile (one of my favorite things about having a dog). Tried to take some pics with both bows in but she's not real cooperative about that so the one in her crate in the car is it.

My duplex neighbor made a Trader Joe's run this morning (closest one is about an hour away) and bought a $7 bag of specialty treats just for Hattie. She said her daughter told her she couldn't dog-nap her.

Spoiled rotten.
