Tim and I said a few days after we brought Beau home from the rescue that we almost wished we had waited to name him. They were calling him “Sonny Boy” at the doggie foster home where he was living, uh, not a name we would ever call him in a million years! I had already picked out Beau (short for Beauregard), but after spending some time with him, we’ve come up with several different names that we could have named him, based on his personality.
One of those is Bob. As in Bob Barker. Because the dog barks. All.The.Time! Beau is a very vocal dog and we have decided that he likes to hear himself speak, bark, howl and sing! I’ve posted a video of him before, singing along to Happy Birthday to you. Here’s a short clip of a normal day at our house.
Tim was trying to warm up some leftovers for lunch, and Beau decided he wanted to play. Or more precisely, to bark:
I cannot even tell you how long I have been sitting here laughing at “Bob Barker.”
WE HAVE A HUGE SHEPARD, AND WHEN HE WAS JUST A PUP HE WAS VERY ACTIVE TOO. I HOPE BEAU’S BARKING, AND GROWING ARE HAPPY SOUNDS? OUR DOG ACE HAD CALMED DOW VERY MUCH, BUT HE HAS HIS MOMENTS. HE IS 1 1/2 YEARS OLD AND CLOSE TO 90 POUNDS. HE IS JUST BEAUTIFUL, WE LOVE HIM A LOT. GOOD LUCK WITH BEAU, I LIKE THAT NAME. RIZZI
I’m gonna start calling him Barky McBarkypants.
When I see videos/photos of Beau and read what you say about him, it makes me smile. I know I say this every time, but he reminds me so much of Pandora when she was this age. She would bark and prance just like this, and it always made me laugh. Thanks for giving me another giggle with your boy.
LOL…reminds me soooo much of Baker! Well, the barking part. (Baker isn’t nearly that active.) Baker has a whole lot of howling mixed in with his barking though. He is a beagle, after all. But your story about “Bob” cracked me up! Baker came from the shelter with his name. But we became convinced that the people who took him there lied about his name…we think his original name was Barker and they figured they’d better drop the “r” to give him a better shot at getting adopted. 😀
