Scruffy Partied All Night!

Party Look!

Aside from weekly visits from other family members, we rarely invite friends over since we had Scruffy.  Scruffy only meets new people when I walk him early in the morning.  But last Friday, Scruffy had a blast!  We invited few friends over for dinner.

Normally, Scruffy gets really excited when someone comes home, as if he has not seen the person for a long time.  He endlessly wags his tail, jumps up and down, rubs his body on your leg, and rolls over asking for a belly rub, or asking to be carried.  But with his excitement, he cannot help not to sprinkle his "love" on the floor or worse, on you.

 At first, we did not understand why he have accidents like that especially when excited.  The vet said it is a normal occurrence for puppies and it may stop once he gets neutered or as he matures.  His accidents lessened when he turned five months old.  I think he is learning to control his bladder better, or so we thought.

When my uncle came home from work, Scruffy did his usual welcome home greeting.  He endlessly wagged his tail, jumped up and down, rubbed his body on my uncle's leg, and rolled over for a belly rub.  But when Scruffy saw my uncle's friend, he happily and quickly run towards him and did what he does best, mark his territory!  We were all surprised.  He did not just do it once, but three times.  Then, I realized that Scruffy had just woken up and probably needed to go potty.  Every time he sleeps, it is guaranteed that he will go potty when he wakes up.  Most of the time when Scruffy gets excited, he forgets what he needs to do.

Well, Scruffy did not stop with one person.  When my aunt's friends came, one of her friends carried him.  Again, Scruffy sprinkled him with "love," but this time it missed the floor and went straight to his jeans.  Good thing he also owns three dogs and used to being accidentally sprayed on.           

Do not disturb!

That was a really fun night!  Nothing can beat an excellent combination of good friends, mouth watering food and wine, and of course, KARAOKE (singing)!  Even Scruffy enjoyed the night!  He did not sleep until everyone left.  It was heaven for him because everyone likes giving him belly rubs.  Just like us, Scruffy was tired and sleepy the next day!

Few more minutes, please!

It did not matter where Scruffy is, as long as he catches up with sleep!  He is such a party dog!  :-)
