And even though I know this little guy will overshadow this belt I just made, here is the now 3 month old Baloo (aka gremlin, monster, rascal, sweets, bug, shnook, why did I get you? (Yes, I actually call him that by name sometimes), Mooooonnnnnssssster, cutie pie, Boo, Boo bear):

Don't be fooled by those eyes. He's a terror. And although he can make my studio days challenging as he rings his little bell to go out to pee (good boy!) but then psyches me out the second I bring him back in...

"No, Baloo. You just went out." 

And he pees on the floor. 

So I stop him mid way and carry his 26 pound self down the stairs and out into the windy cold so he can finish. 

And so we come back up. 

And he rings his bell. 

And I think, "could it really be? No." 

But I decide to take him down...just in case. 

Nothing. He just wants to play, chew, bite, growl, be a maniac. 

So I take him back up the stairs, a little frustrated. 

And he rings his bell. 

And I tell him no. 

And he pees on the floor. 

You've GOT to be kidding me. 

So I take him out. 

And he goes insane into super monster play mode. 

So I carry him back up. 

Oy. 

....sometimes having this little terror at my feet is super sweet, too...

(Notice his sparkler end tail. That's what you get when you mix a long haired dog (Bernese Mountain Dog) and a short haired dog (Redbone). His hair doesn't know what to do!)
