Bayliss' bad bad bad orange Tic tac

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I was asleep.

I felt a cold bump on my ear.

I turned my head over and was looking at big brown eyes staring at me.

One big lick across the across my nose, and I knew who it was.

There he stood in the semi dark, smiling the widest dog smile I’d ever seen.

I whispered, “go lay down”. He just stood there dancing on four paws and wagging his butt.

I said “what?” And “button”

He walked over to his buttons and pushed “outside”.

I groaned. One beat later, the Chihuahuas were up. Butch was gonna start his yap and I nipped that in the bud. (Well, tried)

I was getting up. I leaned over to grab my flashlight and got another lick across the face.

Man this dog was eager. I hurried thinking “emergency” type potty need.

Alas, he just wanted to go out and “howl” to his wild brethren.

I think he dribbled 3 drops of pee, with a side eye to see if I saw he actually did need to “go”.

I was standing on the deck, half asleep in my stocking feet. And I whiffed an odor.

Oh, God, it was doggy stank breath saliva.

I rushed the dogs, anxious to wash the stank off.

I washed up. Gave Bayliss a tic tac.

I just looked at his happy face, tongue lolling. I said “well, I’m awake now, are you happy?”

Clock said 4:54 AM.

Yep, he was happy.

I will be buying dog breath stuff today.

Anyone know what to buy? I’m sure people stuff is not a good idea.

Bayliss did like the orange tic tac. The Chihuahuas were not that happy about it.

Is Bayliss an older dog? Maybe he’s got periodontitis like me. I’ve always thought I had dog breath but it smells more like I need a colonic.

My aunt and uncle are the only ones I know who consistently try to remedy their dog’s breath. They brush it’s teeth every morning, take it to the vet for dental cleanings and give him alfalfa dog bones.

We’re not sure his correct age. As he was sent by paranormal means to my deck one morning,

But he’s not aged or elderly.

I do brush my dog’s teeth and he gets 2 times year vet cleaning.

I think it’s really a combo of liver treats and morning breath.

(Of course he coulda ate rabbit poop, he sure likes to examine it)

I’m still impressed by those buttons, and the training effort you put into the whole thing. Now you have a talking dog! I bet that many dogs aren’t smart enough to learn to use those. There’s a vast range of intelligence among dogs, generally characterized by breed but there are outliers in all breeds. Bayliss seems to be one of the smart ones. The Chihuahuas I’m going to guess, not so much.

Oh they like to bounce on them both paws making a horrible racket at least once a day.

I’ve tried to teach them but they have little patience with my training method.

OTOH Bayliss is now teaching him self combos that sometimes astound.

Yesterday, I was having a tough morning and he kept punching “no” and “happy” and would come put his chin on my knee. So I could skritch his ears.

I think he meant I was not happy, not himself. I asked him “Are you not happy, Bayliss"?

He punched up “play” .

I decided he was whooshing me.

Bayliss is truly a blessing. I cannot imagine what happy circumstance brought the two of you together!

There was a rift in the fabric of time, and he fell outta the sky. Like the Tardis.

I have no real answers how he came to be here.
