I'd better not tell him he has so many devoted fans or it'll go to his head! ; )<BR/><BR/><B>Hi Finny,</B><BR/>I'm sure if I cooed over tomatoes loudly enough, Bear would come running. Ha, maybe I'll try it. ; )<BR/><BR/>He does have great ears doesn't he? Most of the time he keeps them down, and I can only snap a picture of them up if he doesn't realize I have the camera pointed at him - because otherwise he puts them down!<BR/><BR/><B>Hi Daisy,</B><BR/>LOL, you've got us beat with the shoelace thing. Your rabbits crack me up.<BR/><BR/><B>Hi CJ,</B><BR/>Believe it or not, Bear has never had a bath in his life! He's a special kind of Self Cleaning Dog. I didn't believe it at first when Joe told me, but it's true. Bear can't stand it when his coat is dirty or his fur is full of burrs. I actually thought he'd been beaten once (and I took photos to prove it) because he was literally full of little sticker burr things. Hundreds of them. I tried to take a brush to him but it was useless. It was driving him nuts looking like that, and sure enough, the next day he was completely clean! I have no idea how he did it.<BR/><BR/>He gets lots of raw farm eggs, too, which help keep his coat nice and shiny. : )<BR/><BR/><B>Hi Miss Kitty,</B><BR/>Okay here's the deal (at least around our farm) with the working dogs getting hugs and pets. <A HREF="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2008/07/tuesday-daily-dose-of-cute-how-to-cool.html" REL="nofollow"><B>The livestock guardian dogs</B></A> didn't get a whole lot of snuggles and pets (though they did get some!) when they were <A HREF="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2008/04/sunday-daily-dose-of-cute_27.html" REL="nofollow"><B>fluffy little pups</B></A> because they needed to bond with the sheep and not become - as a friend puts it - giant (useless) porch puppies. The guard dogs live with the sheep.<BR/><BR/>But Bear is different. Bear is a stockdog, which means he works with the livestock but doesn't stay with them and guard them. If I'm out in the field moving electric sheep fence for 3 hours, he'll be out there the entire time, but as soon as I head back to the house he does, too.<BR/><BR/>Bear likes to stay busy, and while he'd happily sit and let you pet him for an hour, there is no amount of loving that will keep him from wanting to work. Which means he's free to try to get as much attention as he can!Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-23367294453099003532008-10-10T19:03:00.000-05:002008-10-10T19:03:00.000-05:00So cute.So cute.Amanda, Mandy, Manda, Tomatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262533450742666590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-13668613615974169992008-10-10T14:56:00.000-05:002008-10-10T14:56:00.000-05:00really good looking dogreally good looking dogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1700537035671209902008-10-09T23:02:00.000-05:002008-10-09T23:02:00.000-05:00Just wanted to say your blog is wonderful, soothin...Just wanted to say your blog is wonderful, soothing to read.

I was starting to think our pooch was a little extra weird.
