Mr Dunc is happy this morning.

Bad punctuation dyslexic ramble warning.
Floof boy is rolling on his back rubbing his muzzle sounding off with play sneezing as he rolls next to me on the sectional. I’ll reach over to rub him he then displays his stomach for belly rubs.
The reason for the golden boy happiness this morning is dad has on the Dunc approved outside feet a pair of sneakers.
Which means dad is not going to work because outside feet work boots are bad.
When i get ready Monday to Friday morning when i go to put on my work boots.
Dunc will give me side eye and head upstairs when i put on my boots ,he will stop at the stairs and glance at me.
I imagine him thinking looking over his shoulder at the bottom of the stairs. Fine dad just abandon me to cuddle alone with my brother father our relationship is so toxic.

On the days Duncs brother has to attend local university golden drama boy does pup play camp 07:00 to 19:00 to hang and have fun and chaos with his furry family.
Furry dude doesn’t realize it yet today and tomorrow it is just us two i even got into the gym Friday after work so Dunc will not be alone for a minute.
Reason why his brother and his lady friend are getting ready now to go see her mom who lives about five hours away for Mother’s Day.

And in about a hour Dunc and dad will head out on a morning walk together. Or to use a vernacular from my youth this morning walkie is referred to as a dismounted patrol a sniffari. We walk to sniff and gather intel not a fast walk for exercise it’s all for Dunc to take it in and explore.
Where we sweep our A.O. The usual encounters of bunnies and squirrels and at time's the hostile chihuahua who lives down the road. And thankfully a chain link fence that keeps the seven thousand teeth blood thirsty chihuahua separated from the world.
Then later furry dude and i will mount up and patrol in the Corolla and take our lady friend out to dinner. The restaurant we’re going to has a dog friendly deck. And the golden shit head will sit next to this beautiful lady and give her the hungry eyes every time eat.
I’m like Dunc what happened to the oath we swore together our right paws raised. You do remember what it said bros before snackies.
This fine woman and Dunc are in a committed relationship their love is built on cuddles and snacks. Me i just chauffeur and pay the dinner bill and bag duncs shit he leaves in her yard.
Me I’m just thankful they both include me in their relationship a win is a win.

My girl, Daphne*, is snuggled up against me on one side and my boy, Bosco**, is purring on the other. I'm having my first cup of coffee in bed while watching the sun come up through the trees in our back woods. What could be more sublime?

*Daphne is a 12 year old, black standard poodle with a loving, playful nature, still doing pretty well for her age, kinda like me. She has kidney disease and doing well on her low protein diet.

**Bosco is a three year old brown tabby with four white paws and a cute smudge on his nose. We recently had to take his brother Beans back to the shelter because he had become extremely aggressive towards Bosco despite everything we tried. That was one of the hardest things I've had to do.

"... a dismounted patrol,...
a sniffari".... that so made me laugh out loud.

a suggestion for the yappy ChIhuahuas,...
take along a raw bloody piece of beef meat. Chuck it over the fence at the yappy little beasts. That will keep them busy so you and Dunc can walk by without all the yappy commotion. It seems most Chihuahuas on the planet think they are all ferocious Pitbulls or something. They all want to get close to you,... so they can chew off your leg.

Have a nice off the clock day - wandering around leisurely recharging your batteries.

I hope you and your Best Boy golden floof are enjoying your sniffari.

Have a lovely lunch, Dunc! I hope your furry boy won't have to ride in the back seat.

Thx for sharing!

I was all searching for duncanpup yesterday or whatever and feeling discombobulated. Glad you're still here, I'll have to catch up with your posts.

Chai, my little chihuahua, who's been by my side from 7 weeks old in Dec2019 (as in we went through the entire pandemic almost literally attached to each other), is used to me being in my shorts and t shirt, which is pretty much all I wear around the house. When I get dressed in jeans, put on a pair of shoes, he starts fussing at me.

If he's coming with me, when I finally pick him up he lets out a big sigh. If he's not, the whines increase to howls and screams, which last a minute or so. Somehow he survives.

Sounds like a great day y'all have planned. I'm getting ready to meet my youngest son and DIL at the Farmer's market and Chai is not coming along, sadly.
