Fun In The Sun With Mr Deuce

When we first brought Mr Deuce home, I discovered quickly not to shine a flashlight for him. He tries chasing the light and barks at it because he can see it but can't touch it. It is funny to watch but he builds too much anxiety if it goes on too long, so I try to avoid this game.

We go out onto the balcony to smoke every day and now the sun is getting longer in the sky. My watch caught the sun recently and made a spot for Mr Deuce to see. He got very excited. After that, he is always on the lookout for the shiny spot. His nose down, tongue hanging out, ears perked and eyes scanning the ground, it is very cute to observe.

One sunny day his dog tag caught the sun and he saw the shiny spot. The problem is that when he turns his head to look at the spot, his tag moves and so does the spot. This is very comical and it will keep him amused for long periods of time. He also never barks at it because it is always just in the corner of his eye.

I love how Mr Deuce amuses me -- he is my shiny spot.
