I am Alabama Worley and I am the Kraus House dog. Let me tell you about myself.
I bark at any and every noise that is normal. Something out of the ordinary, who cares?
If a neighborhood dog barks, I NEED to respond. It doesn’t matter what time it is. You return your calls and texts, don’t you?
It doesn’t matter how many people are in the house I need to go to Mommy for everything (even if she’s sleeping).
I no longer feel it’s necessary to stay in the backyard. I want, no I need to roll around on the neighbors’ lawns and have them bring me back home. I really like to do this on holidays.
I will smack you with my paws until you give me love. If you stop, the smacking will continue.
I don’t like anyone to put anything in that metal box attached outside the front door, especially that guy dressed in blue who carries that giant bag. How dare he come here everyday except Sunday?
I have to go outside at 11PM and bark. This is how I tell my friends I’m going to bed.
When I come upstairs to check on the kids with you, I like to wag my tail against the wall, just so I can see if I can wake up one of the kids.
I completely ignore Mommy when she calls me or tries to get me out of her spot, but I can hear her take a deli bag out of the fridge from three room away.
I walk really close behind Mommy when she vacuums, then I yelp and make her feel bad when she accidently steps on me.
I drool all over the place whenever Mommy eats baby carrots. Baby carrots, marshmallows and deli meats are the only things I beg for.
I wash my paws and leave wet spots on the couch and her bed all the time. Daddy can’t stand the sound it makes (it is pretty repulsive).
I need to be fed at 3:30PM, 5PM and 6PM by MOMMY! If anyone else gives me my food, it doesn’t count. She has to put the food in my bowl.
Even though I do all these things that would get on anyone’s nerves on a daily basis, she always has time for me. She always makes sure I have enough love and a spot on the bed to sleep on.
Your dog sounds a lot like mine – only mine HATES any humans other than the 4 of us. We can’t have him around other people and I literally can’t take him out in public.
He looks so very comfortable and happy. My dog too is not a fan of many others besides those members of my family.
Awww, what a cute pup! She sure does live a good life.
Your dog is so cute! Alabama looks fabulously spoiled, as all good dogs should be! 😉
I loved reading about you Alabama. You reminded me so much of my dog Buddy but his food preferences are a little more extensive than your beg for list.
I agree on the mailman – what’s with no Sundays?! 😉 Mr Cooper loves to chat back and forth with our neighbor dogs too. Except we have a jerky neighbor that calls in on another neighbor’s dog almost every week – so far no visit for me.
This pretty much sounds like one of my dogs. They sure do have the good life!
What an adorable dog who seems to love his mommy very much. We have a cat and she only likes me, hehe.
So funny! Sounds like life with a crazy teenager <3
It is funny how much your dog sounds like my toddler. Same kind of silly habits and ways to get underfoot.
i love seeing the pics you post about her everyday. we have an 85 pound golden and he is a mush. i can’t imagine life without him even when he is acting like my 4th child!
Your dog sounds like mine for sure!!!! My girls bark CONSTANTLY, and it’s super annoying, but I still love them anyway 😉
This is too cute! When my dog was a puppy, he never barked. Once he got 2 years old, he barks at everything. However, I do have to say that he makes an entirely different sound if anything is approaching our house. I’m thankful for that.
Well hello there Alabama! You are so super cute! I have two kitties you would love to meet. lol
oh gosh this post was too cute and so real. Tha’s exactly how our dog is. Barks at everything… and her tail… oh my gosh! Stop hitting the dang walls lol
Alabama, you sound a lot like my doggies! Life without a dog definitely would not be the same!
Alabama Worley sounds like a great dog! This post reminded me of my dog who passed away 4 years ago 🙁 He was the best dog I’ve ever had.
I really love this article. My spirit animal is a golden retriever so I can totally relate. The other day I found myself sharing an organic dog biscuit with my best friends dog. I know that may sound weird but I just have a connection with the four legged kind.
Alabama Worley is so adorable! Oh to be a dog, life would be so simple. My little Loki lives quite the charmed life with all his new toys and constant attention he gets from everyone at home <3
Awe! I love how quirky pets can be! They are such a wonderful addition to a family!
Awww, what a cute post! 🙂 Your pup is adorable! 🙂 Dogs are truly magical, aren’t they?
Awww this is an adorable post! Love puppies!
I had a black lab named Roxy until she died a few years ago. She was very similar, lol. I miss her.
Aww I loved this post, thanks for this perspective! I miss my animals 🙂
I love reading about other people’s dogs and their little quirks. It makes my dog seem a little bit less weird LOL
Your proud pup reminds me of our Great Dane, Lila. She refuses to move when we need her to and she barks at EVERYTHING.
Awww, Alabama, you are ADORABLE. You sound a lot like my Sunny Dog – she rules our house like the queen she is!
Your dog is so cute! I love that this is written from a dog’s perspective, I loved reading this!
I love how you wrote this from the dog’s perspective! Your dog is so cute!
I love this piece from the dog’s perspective. Adorable! And how can you ever get mad that cutie!
