Crested Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 I was out with Ben a couple minutes ago and because of Ben's toe, he has to have a bandade on his foot. To keep it from getting wet (it's raining outside) I taped a little plastic bag on the bandade. First of all... Who in their right mind would like having a plastic bag around their foot. Ofcourse Ben had to start makeing this "poor me... poor, poor, poor me.." -face and lifting his leg while looking at me. See he can ABSOLUTELY NOT put his foot DOWN with THAT on it.. :roll: Anyway... I had to put his jeans jacket on to keep him from getting completely wet (he HATES rain, water, showers, baths... anything to do with water). His inner monologue seemed to go the entire time like this: (when I'm putting my boots and jacket on while Ben is waiting) "Are you crazy?! Do you want me to go with THIS on my paw?! And with CLOTHES?! Is it cold out? Oh, poor, poor, Ben. Pitty me!" (opens the door) "WHAT?! It's RAINING?! Nobody told me I had to get WET today!! Poor, poor, POOR me!!" (walking through the yard to get to the grass medow near our house Ben likes to be in) "Look at this thing on my foot... It's UGLY! And LOSTEN to it. That sound makes me MAD! Oh, you have to be joking. Do you REALLY think I'm going to pee anywhere with THIS around my foot while it's RAINING?!?!" (when we get to the medow) "Poor, poor, POOR... Hey! What's THAT?? Mommy, mommy, what's thoose white thingys over there? (one of them fly off) WOW! A seagul! (starts chaseing seagulls) I'm the big boss over seagulls! Be afraid! Be VERY afraid! The Terminator's here!! (He stops when he can't get any further from me because of the flexi) HEY! I was just having so much fun! What's the idea! (looks at his paw) Oh... this thing... Poor, poor, POOR me! (a seagul screams) Hey! There's another! This is fun! Who cares if it's raining! Seagulls here I come!!" This continued FOREVER! He was jumping over high grass and scaring the seagulls to death. Then he found something really interesting and buried his nose in a bush and wouldn't come out. I started walking away and when the flexi ran out Ben quickly lifted his head up. His face got this "Mommy, DON'T LEAVE ME WITH THEESE..." -expression while he was running to me untill he saw another seagul... This was the first time Ben ENJOYED rain!While coming home he held his head up and I swear it looked like he was humming the melody "Raindrops are falling on my head." :rofl: :lol: /Crest Quote
Sanvean Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 Sounds super adorable :) Macy hates the rain, too...she is such a little priss! Quote

Angelboddy Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 He sounds so cute out in the rain. :angel: I'm glad he had fun in the rain, hopefully he will like it for now on. :D Quote
behle Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 Too funny! :laugh2_2: As I read your post I could picture Ben prancing about, one foot lifted, shooting you disgusted looks! Lucky for you there were seagulls to distract him from his wrapped foot! I had to laugh out loud! What a guy!! :lol: :lol: Nice post! Brought a big smile to my face! :D Quote
marion Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 That sounds familiar Mouse, I put an Asda bag on Rosie's paw, she looked a sorrowful sight. Never mind Ben, one of these days you'll get your own back, I promise. :lol: Quote
Crested Posted June 19, 2003 Author Posted June 19, 2003 Thanks you guys. He really couldn't get enough of the seaguls. I wonder what he would do if he'd notice our yard is FULL of them now. Luckilly it's the middle of the night and he's asleep. :lol: /Crest Quote
Marble Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 that's too funny, you write really well and i could just picture the whole scenario as i read your post :) Quote
bk_blue Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 LOL Crested- you do write well and I can imagine Princess Ben right down to that plastic bag. :lol: Quote
Crested Posted June 21, 2003 Author Posted June 21, 2003 Thanks... :oops: I really love to tell stories, but I don't often get a chanse to do it... Ben is a really strange dog... He has theese strange thoughts. He first of all thinks he's a human, so he actually tries sometimes to walk on his back legs (only to find out the just falls down every time after a few steps), then he wants to drink water from a GLASS NOT a bowl, he wants to eat from a plate NOT a bowl, he wants to eat while sitting at the table, NOT the floor, if somebody puts a garden chair outside (you know... the pillow on the chair), Ben automaticly thinks it's his territory. He just sits down on the chair with his head up high and stears at people who can't stop laughing. I could go on forever... Guess how he must feel when he has to have a plastic bag around his paw!! :lol: /Crest Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 Awwwwwwwwwww! :angel: I, too, could picture the whole scenario! :lol: Ben is such a character, the poor guy! :D Quote
Malamum Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 I love hearing about Ben, he sounds like such a character. Quote
Bubblezzz Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 then he wants to drink water from a GLASS NOT a bowl, he wants to eat from a plate NOT a bowl, he wants to eat while sitting at the table, NOT the floor, if somebody puts a garden chair outside (you know... the pillow on the chair), Ben automaticly thinks it's his territory. He just sits down on the chair with his head up high and stears at people who can't stop laughing. WOW! His Royal Highness is SOOO adorable!!!! :D :D Quote
