- (Boss is the one on the right.)
This is Boss. He appears to be an average brown dog, but I have discovered that he’s actually a teenage boy in disguise. Since this house has had a teenage boy in residence for almost seven years, and will have one for over seven more (yes, we now realize that was poor planning) I guess he ended up in the right home. Here’s how I figured out his secret:
His legs are longer and his feet bigger than what suits the size of his body.
He eats enough to feed three adults. . . and is still hungry.
He smells funny. “Nuff said.
He has boundless energy, but sleeps like the dead once he finally does drop.
He can hear the crinkle of a package of graham crackers being opened from the other end of the house through a closed door, but doesn’t hear me when I call his name.
He can sense when I’m in pain or upset, and he’ll follow me around the house, plopping his gangly body down wherever I stop until he decides I’m doing better and he can wander off again.
He knows how to melt my heart in an instant. (It’s the sticky-uppy ears – they get me every time.)

How can anyone that innocent and sweet get into sooo much trouble. Boss is adorable, and that cute guy with him is not bad.
Yep, Boss sounds just like a teenager. I think you nailed it.
Boss would definitely melt my heart, too. My teenage boy would not let me photograph him much, though — I have way too many pictures of “the hand.” Congrats on getting heads & eyes in the shots of the boys!
awwww…what a sweet post and so true, he does sound like one of my teenage boys
ps Popped over from Feels Like Home
awww! great insight and a great tribute
Have a 5-year-old son now. Thanks for the reminder that he’ll still be sweet sometimes when he’s a teenager — and for the reminder not to get a dog.
LOL! Get the dog – at least you won’t have to buy the dog a car or send it to college!
Aww! I am not a dog lover but this post has softened my stance… a bit! Seriously, I’ve a cat and tween. I think that is all I can handle!

A cat and a tween – that’s some serious attitude there!
I think that might be my favorite pic of J ever.
Better not let Mama Kat see this. She may try to steal Boss!
I love this Angie. I’ve worked with lots of teenage boys over the years, and he sounds just like them.
Thanks for linking up. I hope you’ll come back on Sunday!
He is a teenage boy. Which aren’t melting my heart right now, but they are my girls’.
I feel for you – I’ve always thought girls were MUCH harder to raise than boys, especially during the teen years!
