my guard dog

Tex has been quite the addition to our family.  He is such a great dog.  He gets a little hyper with his mouth at times (meaning he nips to play) but otherwise he is such a great dog.  I would nip too if I had Aiden, Sloane, and Kyle always blowing in my face and grabbing at me. (:

Tex stays with us outside and loves to just wonder around the yard.  He comes (most of the time) when we call him.  He gets excited when we get home and loves to be lazy with us.  He loves to play and go on walks but doesn't ever want to overdue himself --he sounds like me. He is just all around an awesome dog.

He never sleeps in our bed, in fact he rarely will come and lay with us when we are in bed.  I would like for him to sleep in our room (on the floor) with us, but he prefers the couch or his crate. 

Last night Kyle was out of town.  I was NOT looking forward to sleeping in our house alone (no kids and Tex tucked on the couch).  Last night Tex climbed on our bed and slept right next to me.  He totally knew that Kyle wasn't home and I needed him.  He read my mind, it was crazy.  He slept RIGHT next to me all night long and when the alarm went off this morning he looked at me like, 'uh excuse me, turn that sh!t off!'

He was probably a little annoyed that i took a pic (with flash) of him at 6 am

I love this dog!  He is so great with the kids and loves us unconditionally.  I want to clone him and make him live forever!
