As promised, here’s the update on the Dude. He is growing (obviously) and is becoming marginally better behaved, which is to say, he listens once in a while instead of never. He’s about the size of my parents’ dog, Libby, now; I’m not sure how much bigger he will get.
He has actually turned out to be a pretty good watchdog, and usually alerts my sleeping guard when there’s a car at the gate at night. He is mostly nocturnal – sleeps all day, barks all night. In fact, I had to wake him up for this photoshoot – he was sleeping in the ornamental grass around the garden.
Looking dignified
The Dude’s tricks remain largely the same: he sits, he shakes, he jumps and jumps and jumps. My housemate bought a ratty stuffed animal at the market, so the Dude now entertains himself by flinging it to and fro, running in circles, and pouncing on it from a far. He’s quite energetic – except in this photo, where he looks a little harassed.
Shake!
