AJ the Mutt

Did I mention that my mom plans on giving our dog away?! I'm sooooo sad! I'm so in love with AJ. But apparently the rest of the family at home doesn't do their part in proper training so he pees in the house a lot. Honestly, I don't think it's because he's dumb. It's because of habit, and because the guys in the house are too lazy to open the back door for him to go outside. AJ will wait at the back door when he has to go.

He's very unique. A mutt...a very smart mutt. He's not a dog that goes around just doing his thing and content when people want him to come to them, or to pet him, or put him in his cage. This dog is clever and witty. He'll get out of his cage somehow some way. He knows when you want him to come to pet him and play vs. pick him up and give him a shower. It's weird...this dog actually assesses his decisions. He'll pause and cock his head, then make a decision and stick to it. He's also got an attitude. He's more human than any dog I know. And when I think of human, I think of a teen in his rebellious years. Of course...a very popular and lovable teen in his rebellious years. He's a good dog though and a very good cuddle buddy. I love him so much! I wish I could keep him up here in SLO with me, but alas, my lease says no pets. Sigh.
