We were a bit skeptical when Younger Son and then-gf announced they wanted to get a dog, specifically, a young pit bull they had found at the humane society.
A pit bull? Really?
But Percy has turned out to be a sweet, sweet dog with an engaging personality. He cracks us up an a regular basis.
His name should be Earnest. Because he is.
Percy gets a new toy.
Oh, boy, a new toy! Better than last week's bone!
Tug o' war is one of Percy's favorite games.
Is someone eating? Is there any for me?
At :08 he charges the camerawoman. That's how he asks me to play tug o' war.
Percy disembowels the toy, thoroughly and with great vigor.
Later in the day I caught Percy and Misha playing tug o' war.
Disembowled. Happily, no actual blood was spilled.
Percy takes a nap.
After a hard day of play, Percy likes nothing better than
crawling into my lap. For a nap. Eighty pounds of sleeping lap dog. Yup.
Percy gets spruced up.
Percy is very responsive to other dogs, whether live, records, or just a photo.
