Battle Royale

Over the weekend I spent some time thinking about how Bruce and Alfred's relationship has grown since the first time they met...can you believe it has almost been 2 years?!? Although they still have plenty of brotherly scuffles, the majority of their days look something like this...


...which is great for three reasons:

      1) I no longer have to play doggie police and can get some work done.
     
      2) Alfred can live in the whole apartment instead of being our "kitchen dog."
     
      3) It is ridiculously cute.

However, one can only look at so many pictures of lazy dogs snuggling on the couch [not really], so today we are going to share some of the best Alfred/Bruce fight scenes from the last 22 months.












No dogs were harmed in the making of this blog post.

The Dog Who Hates Hugs


Don't you just want to hug this little muffin???

Well, forget about it because he's not about to let you hug him. As a matter of fact, don't even think about hugging someone else either because he hates that too. That's right: Bruce Wayne is the dog who hates hugs.

Don't get me wrong, he loves snuggling...



...and he gives great kisses...



...but when it comes to hugs, he'll do just about anything to get away. He doesn't even mind being handled for baths, nail trims, or having his paws wiped. He just can't stand being hugged. Maybe he just thinks it's a fun game to play keep-away with his affections.  Or maybe he associates them with his least favorite thing of all: saying goodbye. If M and I even try to hug each other he will whine and jump up and throw a fit. If he had it his way, mom would never leave the house and he could snuggle with her whenever he wished.  I guess that's what you get when you work from home and spoil your kids rotten!


Note to self: next time you get a puppy, try to resist it's 
snuggling charms for AT LEAST 1 hour a day.
