But what if I don’t want a hairless bipawd puppy? Nobody asked me. I’m not sure this is a good idea. It’s coming in early July. It won’t be living in my house, but it will be part of my pack. It will live with my biggest Boy. He lives with his own Woman nearby, and they decided to have a puppy. Why?
I’m getting a very bad feeling about this. What will I have to do? I don’t have to let it have my Snausages, do I? Am I supposed to take it outside and show it where to poop? Do I have to share my stuff? Will it touch me?
My Woman told me that some of my friends here have had hairless bipawd puppies join their pack. She said Spirit Indi’s pack got one, and so did Spirit Catie’s pack. If anyone here got one, please let me know what to expect and what it will be like. And if anyone wants me to come for a really long visit, like a few years, I can come. Let me know soon. I kind of feel like this is an emergency.
Dakota,
We don’t have that kind of puppies at our house, but sometimes they come and visit us. You will like them. They put food on the floor for you, and they are really short so you can lick their face and ears if you want. They smell very interesting, and sometimes they are really stinky, like poop. But momma says “LEAVE IT” really loud if you try to play with their toys or eat their dypers.
Love, Tosca
Hmmm, I like big smells. But why would they smell like poop?
yes, we think the best part is the messiness…they throw food everywhere, and some of it might be valuable…stay close, but not too close (they can pull ears really hard…). you have until july to plot your action, make sure you think of ways to get evelyn in trouble in case things go south….
charon & spirit gayle
I don’t have to plot too much to blame Evelyn for things. She’s pretty good at that on her own. But this doesn’t sound like Gayle’s kind of thinking. Are you sure she helped you with this, Charon? This sounds more like MBBVP. I hope the messes will be valuable. I just don’t want to get hurt. My ears don’t belong to anyone but me.
Oh yes, the FOOD! That is the best part when my mom and dad brought not just one but TWO hairless bipawd pups home! At first I couldn’t stand the crying all night. I had to go downstairs to escape the racket. Then as they got older and started eating big people food, that was the awesome part! I am, after all a lab. I need to eat constantly. So when the twins throw food everywhere, it’s absolute HEAVEN. I get the food before it even hits the floor. My mom loves how I do the cleanup for her. And if you are really sneaky, you can even snatch the food right out of its hand! Bipawd pups are short enough, you know so that is not a problem. The trick is doing it when your Woman or your Boy don’t catch you doing it. Otherwise there might be lots of yelling. But what are they going to do? Make you spit it back out? Nah. And the weird thing is that these bipawd pups don’t even have to go potty outside!!! That doesn’t make sense. When we were pups it took us only a few weeks to learn how to do that. But these bipawds aren’t as smart. They are allowed to poop in their diapers for many months. But those diapers always smell so interesting . . .
Aspen, Spirit Jewels’ Sis
The food snatching part I will be able to handle, no problem. I am good at that already. But Aspen, you are the second dog here to mention “diapers” and how poopy smells and diapers go together. What the heck is a diaper? I’m getting a really bad feeling about that part. It’s starting to sound really rather undignified.
Be careful with those! Our first dog was a cocker spaniel and my niece seemed to think that his little docked tail was a battery-powered, vibrating pacifier!
At least my tail is pretty long and very, very hairy! Thanks for the heads-up, Zeus.
We have a hairless bipawd coming in 7 weeks they tell me. I am not happy about this. They have all these big noisy things for it – they swing and bounce and make all these loud sounds. I never got any of those things when I came home! I cannot sit in mom’s lap anymore, either. She says I am too big. I think SHE’S too big, you should see her belly – I think she has been eating all of our snausages to herself.
I am also not supposed to chew on the new puppy or put my toys in it’s face. How am I supposed to play with the new puppy if I cannot do these things?! They also told me it is a GIRL. UGH. I hate girls, they smell funny. There are already 5 girls in this house, it’s just me and dad for the boys. Now there will be 6!
If you find somewhere to go before July, I am coming with you!
Oh and for some reason, my mom says ‘Congrats on the new ‘puppy!”‘
I have no idea why anyone would want to be congratulated over this!
Dang Dante! You have it worse than me! Your hairless puppy is actually going to live in your house? Maybe you should just come here. Are the other girls hairless bipawds or furry like you? You have a big pack! Anyway, there should be some kind of camp we can go to for awhile, till things settle down. And I agree on the congratulations. When my biggest Boy said this news, I thought it was a disaster. (P.S. I heard that this one may be a girl, too, but they said they have to wait a little longer to know for sure. Why? I just don’t understand much of this.)
Dakota,
finchy and I were depressed when the first hairless bipawd came home. He cried at all hours of the night and disrupted everything. We didn’t get as much attention as we used to. Then the second one came along and she had so many issues. Momma is so stressed with her, she would cry into my fur at night after some of her doctor appointments.
But I tell you what, when I got the cancer diagnosis, those little bipawds were the sweetest kids to me. When I came home a tripawd, Noah kissed me on the nose and sat by me and petted me, and Juli stopped being scared of me pretty quick and gave me hugs and kisses. They fought over who would give me treats. Juli is the world’s messiest eaters so I was always guaranteed special treats at her side of the table.
Finchy tells me they still fight over who gives the treats and Juli is.still a messy eater. Take my advice, Dakota, cherish the moments you get with the hairless bipawd, because you never know how many you will get. Plus, yours will go home (hee hee).
Spirit Chili Dawg
Maybe this puppy will be a messy eater and I will benefit. If Finchy thinks these things are ok then I will have no choice but to agree. Finchy knows what he’s talking about. I will hope the payoff comes soon, though. And you’re right. I’m glad I’m here to see this puppy, just as Chili was there to get Noah and Juliana off on the right paw.
Oh no!!! Run, D-Dawg! I never had any hairless bipawd puppies live with me, but I’ve had a LOT of them come to visit me. They smell funny, and if they ain’t eating or pooping, they are screaming! And if they say they want to ride you like a small horse, just tell them that it is frowned upon in this establishment!!!!
Ginger
Ginger, I have already been assured there will be no pony rides here. And if that law is violated, can I call you? Do your legal services extend out of the realm of monkey business into things like this?
Dakota, yes – my legal practice extends the defense of Tripawds in all its forms, even the hairless bipawd puppy kind. I may even waive my fee on this one 😉 By the way, you are more than welcome to come and hide out at my house for as long as you want to get sway from that little ear puller.
Love,
Ginger
Well…what can I say…we used to have a house full of em!
Some fun things are…they eat and leave you some…all over the place! They also hold their food out…away from their mouths like they forgot it was there…. easy pickens! They don’t tell you no…cause they can’t! They have lots of fun chew toys, chewy shoes and balls! They usually come with comfy blankets and soft things to lay on. They are always happy to see you!
Some not fun things are……
They are noisy! Crying or Squealing, both sound the same!They wipe their snotty faces and dirty hands in your fur. Sometimes they pull it right out or …try to taste it! They are slobbery more so than Evelynn! If you take a nap, they might trip over you or climb up onto you! Once they walk, they try to run you over with their push and pull toys….better be quick cause they think it is funny and will do it over and over again.
Worst of all…your woman will tell you no ALOT even though it’s that new pup’s fault!
But best of all, they will love you and accept you just as you are…3 legs or more. They don’t care.
Some day they grow up! Then they feed you, fill your water bowl, brush you, let you outside to take care of business, throw balls for you, take you for walks. They love to PLAY!!And when they are sad and scared they want YOU….which of course cements your standing in the pack! Ain’t no way that woman can discipline you now!
I will hope it turns out this nice. I don’t want to be anybody’s naptime snuggle buddy or anything like that. The play stuff sounds ok though. And my Woman has already told me that she won’t let the puppy be mean to me. I know accidents happen and pups can be sneaky, though. Hey, I’m pretty sneaky myself. I keep hearing a lot about free food that’s easy to grab. I’m already excellent at that. My Man calls me The Thief!
Oh D-Dawg! We have those furless bipawds visit us every once on awhile. Mom said they are “grand kids”-but there aint nothin grand bout them. They maul me and step on me and run around and around and scream and screech and cry. Kinda like our cat after he ate catnip. And if you growl cause they bother you, well guess what? You get locked in the bedroom. My advice- lay low. They do drop a lot of food so under the dining room table is a good place. They do come with all sorts of good smells but for some reason they dont like getting their butts sniffed. How can you properly greet a newcomer without a butt sniff? Bipawds! I still cant figure them out sometimes.
Samson, your furless bipawds are exactly the same brand as this one will be–a grandkid! Wow! We have something in common. You know, getting locked in a bedroom is ok. I go there by myself most of the time when strangers come over. I feel more comfortable there so that part is ok. I won’t listen to the rule about no butt sniffing. Maybe it’s just a guideline or a suggestion and not a real rule. I’ll bet Ginger knows about that. Thanks for the advice.
