That Crazy Nut

That's how we refer to the main source of entertainment (other than Rock Band) and frustration (other than the ironing) in our house.

On the grill... his favorite spot

Otis was named after Otis Redding, whose music we both enjoy, and it just fits him perfectly! He's also known as Honey Bear, Honey Butter Bear, Buster Brown, Otis Magotis, Otes Magotes, and Senor Majotes.

Honey Bear

His formal portrait (you can call him Senor)

We trained him not to bark at us since it is ear-splitting so instead he makes these odd sounds that almost sound like he's talking. He can usually be found with a sock or an empty water bottle in his mouth, and feels free to jump on the beds and sofas if we're on them. In the mornings after David's left for work, he "talks" until I invite him up on the bed into David's spot. Then he just lays around until way after I've showered and dressed.

Lazy!
Gotta get into a comfortable position

Ok - maybe it's gross to let your dog into your bed... but he's pretty clean...
and how could you resist this sweet face?

We have a little love seat in front of our TV, and he is convinced that his "spot" is sitting on the cushion next to me. So if David is sitting there, Otis will come and stare at him and make his crazy sounds until David scoots down to the floor and Otis hops right up.

Spoiled little nut!
