Since Mojo is down to his last bed, you’d think he’d be trying to take care of it.
You’d be wrong, of course, because as you can see in this photo he’s started to nibble on it. Not a lot, just a little, as if he’s holding himself back because he realizes once this bed is gone, then he and Bucky (the cat over there on the upper-left) will have to sleep on the bare floor.
Frankly, if this bulldog is such a noodle that he rips up his very last bed… well, then. Not much I can do about it, can I? He’ll deserve having to sleep on the floor! (Bucky will probably just go back to sleeping in the clean laundry.)
But now I fear that he’s concocted a fiendish bulldog plan that will eliminate his need for a dog bed: he’s got his eyes on our living room couch.
When we leave the room and come back suddenly we find him on the couch. When we come home we’ll find him beside the door, but the couch is warm and covered with dog hair. I am certain once Mojo feels secure in his ownership of the couch, he’ll see no more need for his bed and he’ll rip it up.
So now we are in the middle of the Couch Wars. He can plot and scheme all he wants, but I’m going to win this one. This bulldog is going down—off the couch, I mean.
oh dear…he is SOOOO freaking cute!!! the little monster…
these dogs of ours don’t seem to grasp cause and effect, huh? “geeee, I’ll keep destroying my beds” never seems to result in understanding that then it will be GONE!!!
but I’m going to win this one.
Heh. Yeah, you cling to that delusion, cling tightly…
Our first greyhound decided the couch was his. He would just climb up, long legs flailing, and plop down on top of whatever human occupied it.
He was a very large greyhound. He always won.
Current greyhound doesn’t get on the couch. He just pees on it.
I love Mojo! This was a great laugh out loud post. Good luck with the couch war – if it comes to that! Thank you for starting my week off with a laugh. Plus, I am so happy that I can once again access your site. 🙂
Ciao bella…
please don’t take it the wrong way If I put my money on the dog 😉
Hi, guys! I’m having another busy week… arrrgh! And every time I come home… THE COUCH IS WARM.
And I see Dennie and Pat don’t think I have a chance. We shall see about this. I can understand the greyhound on the couch, because he’s bony (needs more cushioning) and he’s got long legs. He probably sees the couch as more of a greyhound’s natural habitat, or in Pat’s greyhound’s case, his potty.
But this bulldog has short legs and plenty of padding. He’s at risk for altitude sickness on that couch. His natural habitat is definitely THE FLOOR.
He is kind of cute, Susan. I just gave him a bath yesterday. I think he’s cuter when he’s not so stinky.
I don’t know why that spam blocker kept you out, Teri, but I’m glad you’re back.
I’m with Dennie, my money’s on Mojo. Mojo’s just too dang cute to lose.
Yea, my money’s on Mojo too!LOL…he outweighs you!
Mojo is so darn cute. Love the sticky out tongue.
He can come sleep on the couch with Two-toes and Queen B, Pointy Paws and Tuki anytime he wants. 😀
The one that used to have an Akita crawl up on the couch, put her head on the Dawg’s lap and s-t-r-e-t-c-h out as long as she could before he realized she wasn’t to be on the couch.
LOL, Mojo looks like he has a hangover!
I agree with Bonnie and Elizabeth. My money’s on the dawg.
And I am mush.
Yikes! Isn’t there anybody who’ll back me up here? Nobody but me seems to understand the seriousness of this situation.
Look at it this way: if our couch turns into his bed and he gets tired of it AS HE ALWAYS DOES, he’ll start ripping it up!
Does everybody get it now??? I’m trying to save my furniture from starring in The Monday Morning Mojo No. 52.
I’ll back you up, here’s my rally-cry:
“YOU CAN DOOO EEEET!!!” Defeat the Mojo! 😉
He is so freaking cute, though. He can sit on my couch anytime!
Oops, I’m not helping, am I? Just don’t tell him I said that!
Thank goodness for Lachlan, that’s all I can say.
I don’t know if you’d want him on your couch, though. He’s WAY stinkier than what you and Bayou are used to with the always-fresh Sumi.
Way.
See, Sumi’s deceiving- she always LOOKS fresh, but she is still a dirt ball. Why, she currently looks as though she’s been rolling in pine needs and fine di…
Wait. That IS what she’s done. 😉
Remember that you’re dealing with a very intelligent breed, and a highly determined one at that. Getting into a battle of wills is what he wants. He’s suckering you into HIS game!
Try to appease him with dog biscuits.
