After this little post about my beloved bunny Danger I thought it might be nice to share with you all the somewhat unique idiosyncrasies of Miss Cate's canine BFF, Pilot.
He's a particularly beautiful Kelpie X Dingo. Yep, dingo. Do a quick google image search of this breed and you'll find that he's the handsomest, by a lot. And no we're not biased.
He was supposed to be a farm dog. Miss Cate's Aunt and Uncle originally picked up the puppy to help herd sheep and the like, sadly he was not up to the task, much prefering to lay in the shade and snap at butterflies.
He's the worlds biggest sook. I mean really, look at that face. He just plain won't rest unless being stroked but the hand or foot of a human, doesn't really matter who or how much, just that it is happening.
He spoons. As in, the big spoon. Or the little spoon, really. In bed. All the time.
He's a sulker. Such a sulker. If he's outdoors and can see humans indoors he just sit and stare a whine until he's let inside and provided with compensation in the form of cuddles and belly rubbs.
He's a bit weird about bones. He loves them, but not in front of you. As in, he'll sit by a bone, pretending not to notice its existance until you are out of view, then he'll go to town on that bad boy.
He likes to sit close to the heater. So close, in fact, that he won't notice that his pretty white fur is burning until it's too late.
He's not fussed by the existance of other dogs. In fact he'll just plain ignore them if there's a human around whom might potentially offer cuddles and/or snacks.
He's friends with Dolly Parton. Little Dolly is the resident runt kitty who draws great pleasure from trying to catch Pilots wagging tail, that is when she's not trying to catch her own.
He will never die. Or at least that's what his mummy, Miss Cate, will tell you, and for the moment at least I'm sticking to that theory because I cannot imagine a world without this delightful puppy dog in it.
