Sweet Child ‘O Mine

Since I don’t have cute kids to post pictures and videos of, you have to see my furry child. 🙂

I told Tim not more than 10 days after we picked up Beau from the foster home where he was living, that I was so glad that we got a dog with “extra personality”. Beau is a very vocal dog. It’s funny, because the couple at the foster home told us, he never barks, he’s very quiet. Good grief, they could not have been more wrong! Beau barks all.the.time. He speaks all.the.time. He’s a very vocal dog. And we LOVE IT!

Usually, when I get out the camera or camcorder, he shuts up. But a week or so ago, he kept going, even after I turned on the camcorder. The video is a little over a minute long. Probably too long for most of you, but at least give it a few seconds. You can hear Tim in the background offering a running commentary:

“Oh be quiet”
“What are you doing?
“You’re not worth nothing!!”
“Oh good gracious”
And my favorite at the end … “Do you want a treat?” – to which Beau responds by whipping his head around so fast, he must have given himself whiplash! 😀

Here’s my sweet Beau, having a grand ole time 🙂

    Oh you know i loved this!!! But i had to turn it down . . . DON”T want Gyver picking up any bad habits!! (Mike is more easily annoyed than Tim!)

    Great clip – thanks for sharing!!

  2. Lynne Said,

    He’s so sweet! Teddy makes really funny noises when he wants a treat – I can’t describe the sounds but it’s cute. Maggie groans a lot when she moves, but that’s because she hurts some when she moves.

  3. Kara Said,

    That is too funny – he definitely knows what “treat” means!

  4. Kimmy Said,

    Too cute!

    I just played it, and my dog jumped off the couch when he heard it and has been barking his head off ever since! He is convinced Beau is right outside our door!

  5. Debi Said,

    Oh my, he’s such a doll baby!!! Baker is a total barker, too! In fact, just like Kimmy’s dog, he started barking the second he heard Beau here. Only I don’t find Baker’s barking so cute. I find his sweet little howl when we “talk” pretty adorable, but NOT all the barking he does at everyone who walks their dogs up the street.

  6. Katrina @ Callapidder Days Said,

    Wow, he IS talkative. But very cute!

  7. mamichelle Said,

    First off, I love the new banner!! Second, Beau is so darned cute! Love how his head spun around for a treat! Too funny!

  8. Desert Songbird Said,

    Dang, he is soooooooo stinkin’ CUTE! I love that Beau Baby! Thanks for sharing this. *grin*

  9. Heidi @ ggip Said,

    That is so funny that the people who fostered your dog said he had a completely different personality!

  10. Lauren@Baseballs&Bows Said,

    Beau definitely understands what’s being said! That was great!

  11. Gail Said,

    I can’t believe they told y’all he never barks, that’s too funny! I’ve heard him! And he definitely knows about those treats; I’ve seen him respond to them. Yesterday when I was there he was laying on that rug I think instead of just putting a foot on it. 🙂
    He’s very social and loves being around people.

  12. Stacy (the other one) Said,

    We just had the best time watching that! Vader came running out of the other room just to see what was up.

    “Treat” what a universal way to get a dog’s attention!!

  13. DawnK Said,

    HAhaha! He is very expressive! My dog was flying all over the house, to find that dog, who was barking! He shuts up, after you husband asks about the treat, though!
