My name is Rocky. I spent the first 18 months of my life as a trash dog in a nomad pack with a nomad human. We had to fight over everything and sleep outside. I am sweet and i like to play. I didn't want to fight.

I was hungry all the time.

But i'm not a trash dog anymore. Now i'm a sofa dog with my own bed and food bowl. I have to take baths and get my nails done and go to the vet, but i get to eat every day, twice. And i get butt scritches.

But i am still hungry all the time.

I am always getting caught in the compost bin or eating the chicken feed or trying to lick the garbage can. I'll eat the chicken poop too. Actually, i'm not picky about the source of the poop.

I've chewed up five sheets, two pillowcases, a dozen stuffed animals, the corners of a couple of sofas, a few leather gloves, a fair amount of lumber, whatever stick i could carry in my mouth, a few throw rugs, all the plastic dog bowls, two harnesses, four leashes, and an unknown number of plastic bags, from which i have liberated and devoured an unknown quantity of terrible and dangerous snacks.

I will drink any standing water i find in any container in any condition whatsoever.

I've gained 20 pounds and several inches in 5 months. My paws still look pretty big compared to the rest of me.

But my human says i'm a fuzzy suicide machine and if i live long enough to make the next vet appt, the vet is gonna shame her because i'm a little chubby right now. She says i have to stop acting like a trash dog 'cause i'm a sofa dog now.

Dear internet, how do i be a sofa dog?

Bazza likes to show his teeth when you don't give the treat in 0.00008 seconds for being a good boy and 'sitting' 🙈🙈

New Post has been published on Turkish Furniture - I once had a dog who refused to stop getting on the sofa. Sure, I taught him to stay off the sofa when I was home, but as soon as I went to sleep or left the house, I could hear him jumping back up in his favorite spot on the sofa and he got doggy fur all over the clean upholstery.
