Happy Puppy

Sometimes, we have a dog. Her name is “Happy Puppy”. She also goes by the name Baboo.

Happy Puppy comes out when Baboo is really excited about something. It involves, getting on all fours, barking, panting and tongue lolling. Lately, Happy Puppy has started to pretend to lick our pants –with sound effects.

Pretty much every day, Happy Puppy comes to get her “gummy dwop” vitamins. This apparently is a VERY happy occasion as Happy Puppy comes out full fur-ce (haha, sorry, couldn’t resist). Other Happy Puppy events include watching a favorite show, dinner, bath time or well… anything that Baboo would fine exciting. I’m sure if she had a tail, she’d wag it.

When Baboo started doing this a few months ago, it took a while for me to clue in as to what she was doing. Finally one day, as she came crawling me to me panting with her tongue hanging out, a light bulb went off and I said “Baboo – are you pretending to be a dog?” And she said yes and started yapping. When I said are you a happy dog? She started jumping up and panting. And so, Happy Puppy was born.

I don’t know how long this will last, but it cracks me up every time and I want to capture this memory so I don’t forget that once upon a time, Happy Puppy lived at our house.

Thats so funny- S has started crawling around meowing. But, like any good cat, shes pretty aloof while doing so! I'd so love to get Happy Puppy and Aloof Kitty together!
