The Smart Dumb Dog!

(She Put Herself In There)

Has anyone had a smart-dumb dog? We all know them either by meeting them through friends or whoever you are dating that might have a dog in the home. For those who don't know what I mean let me break it down. A smart dumb dog knows when they are in trouble as you see in the photo above a dog can sense when they have messed up.

This is Tina she is about 16 years of age and before you guys ask yes she can have puppies. That also goes into the make-up of a dog. Has anyone ever notice that a dog whether male or female when they cant have kids they are more manageable they are mild tempered and don't really give their owners a problem right?

A where dog whether male or female when they can have puppies they are harder because likes as they grow they start to feel themselves, thinking they can push the rules that the owners has set. Dogs are a lot like people they feel and even think like a human I have see this for myself with Tina.

She came to the family by a friend of the family and what was suppose to be a short stay she ended up living here for good. Now let me make this clear she is not my dog she lives with me and ex and she is his dog but, you cant tell her that because to her I also own her as well. I have to say when she first came here I didn't like her and not because she was a dog but it was how she got here. At the time my ex and I were still together but he didn't talk to me about bringing Tina home. It was like one day she was not here and by the end of the night she was here. I told my ex how I felt and he just shrugged his shoulders at me like he didn't care so from then he took care of. Don't get me wrong I do help from time to time but the problem which I told him in deeper details after our break up. I love dogs always have in fact when i get my own place I want four dogs one black blue nose pit, one white husky and two wolves both black. So, the problem was never bring a dog into the home it was the fact that he didn't take 5 seconds out his day before bringing said dog home to call or text me and ask me how I felt about bringing a dog into the home. I told him that Tina was extra mouth that we had to pay to get her food and toys that when he is at work I am the one that has to take care of her and with is unknown set schedule you never knew when he got home so who would be taking care of her while he was gone. It was then that he saw why I was so upset. I am not mad anymore I just don't help when it comes to her. I give her all the love she can handle and that is about it. I don't hate her by any means I just didn't like how she got here. Another thing is and maybe I am reading into this but whoever owned her prior to us must have been a single male because she hates the fact that I can get treated even now after the break up like I am more important than her. She hates that she get put off the bed that my ex now sleeps in for when I lay down with him because to her that is her spot. To her he is her man even though she is a dog she wants to be treated like she is a human and that they are together. You can tell in her actions and how there are sometimes I will catch her staring at my ex like she wishes she was human. Sounds crazy right? And, at first I thought I was going nuts but when I brought it up to my ex even he could see it and that made him laugh. i told him that she remined me of a girl who once stayed with us that wanted to take my spot in the relationship between my ex and i. Even now with her moved away and living somewhere else there are times where she will hit me up asking to be my friend again but I already know what she is up to so I cut her off completely. With Tina I never had to worry because she is a dog but I told him if she was human she would not be living with us with they way she acts towards from the day one she came to live with us which of course made him laugh all the more.

I have to say thinking back on all of this makes me laugh too because you cant help but love at the same time you want to throw the dog across the room. The photo you see above is the day she decided she wanted to eat my phone pen which she had done 2-3 times before along with the extension cord that was plugging into the wall that charged my ex's phone when he got home. When she got caught by me she went into the tub where she knew that where she went she got into trouble so of course I sent him this photo and he called me laughing at her then came home and beat her ass for what she did. That's the thing about Tina she can be so smart sometimes even being able to talk to us in her own way but when it comes to common sense that dog has none and sometimes I cant help but laugh at her because she truly is like one of our kids. I will miss her when I leave and move into my own place though she got on my nerves and sometimes I wanted to through the dog out of the house and never let her in again like I said you cant help but love her especially when she give that sad face that she has in this said photo above I couldn't even keep a straight face when I took this photo because she looked so scared and sad at the same time that I couldn't help but feel bad her.

She came into our lives when we needed her most and in a lot of way she gave me my best friend back. My ex and I may have not worked out in the end but this dog brought us closer because she forced us to deal with our problems we had to come together sometimes when taking care of her so in many ways she made see what we were missing in out relationship and even now sometimes I look at her and silently thank her because she warmed the heart that was going cold inside me with all the love that she craves whether it be from me or my ex. She truly is my kid and I will forever love no matter where life takes me as long as she lives I will help to take care of her as my own.

She is how I went becoming a cold mean bitch to a loving person again because she made people love her she never cared how you felt on it you were going to love no matter what and that is what I love most about my little well little big Tinka

    Dear Ms. Ghost - You're so much fun with your eclectic offerings. So sorry I haven't seen you around the Village 'hood of late. Ms. Tinka caught my eye since I wrote 'This is Dude' a couple of years ago on behalf of Pet Haven Minnesota that received so many adoptions from the silly (3) minute piece; that's a nice feeling. *I've subscribed with pleasure awaiting some new presentations from you.
