We have a good dog.
She puts up with attempted horseback (dogback) rides. Tail pulling. Leashed walks led by a toddler around and around (and around) the house. Toys in her face. Dog bones taken out of her mouth. A lot of yelling. Love pats (smacks). More yelling.
And lately, she has been eating her food off the kitchen floor, as Adrienne has decided that she is the sole member of our family who is allowed to feed Punky.
About half the time, she gets it in the dog bowl, which means that half the time, sweet, sweet Punky eats it right off the floor. Without complaining at all.
We love you, Punky Bones. We had no way of knowing when we picked the most rambunctious, squiggly pup out of the litter and took you home with us (four years ago!) what a gentle, patient dog you would become.


Aww it seems like Punky and little A are best friends! Or at least they have an awfully good brother sister bond and he knows how to put up with his “annoying” little sister.
Such a sweet post! I love big dogs like that… They have huge hearts.
How sweet!!! I am actually so excited to someday see how Charlie interacts with our future kids. Mainly because he’s the best dog in the world and loves kids. It’s so funny to see him rough house with the Husband and then know the difference between playing with the husband, playing with me, and playing with our little nieces and nephews. We picked a good one, that’s for sure!
What beautiful pictures! ♥
This was just the cutest, most heart warming post to start my Monday off with
Thank you!
I have no idea why (maybe my unreasonable, ridiculous love for animals), but I am tearing up at work reading this. Good post today.
Awww. Punky is so sweet. And I’m sure she does not mind at all that she’s eating off the floor!
My husband, being a cop, has always wanted a German Shepard. But we just lost our black lab in January…we’ve agreed, not until we have a bigger house!
I think every kid should have a dog
Super cute!
i wish we could have a dog!! dang allergies!
That made me emotional for some reason… Everyone needs a good dog like Punky.
My heart is smiling! Nothing is sweeter. The dogback rides kind of remind me of this book called “Carl” that I used to read as a kid. So cute!
this is so adorable! I just love dogs and their kind hearts!
Loooooooooooooooooooove dawggies.
German Shepherds are amazing. My mom has one who is old, blind, and half deaf now but still such a good boy. I have never in my entire life met a more patient dog.
This made me smile
What wonderful companions. Big Dogs are the best!! Every kid should grow up with a dog. Thank you for sharing.
I’m welling up now – it’s so beautiful to see how sweet dogs can be when you know they could just as easily walk away and ignore our kiddos! Weston is in LOVE with Bunker these days, smiling and laughing every time he touches his ears. And Keira has taken it upon herself to be his personal BFF/bodyguard. My heart melts every time!
<3
I love this post. Dogs are just the best. I have a sweet sweet one also. Wouldn’t trade her for anything.
They’re going to grow to be best friends. Very sweet.
That is just so sweet. There’s nothing cuter than a child and their dog.
I love this post! Punky seems like a very patient dog..my dog Alphie when I was growing up reminds me of Punky..he put up with a lot of attempted dog back rides from my brother and I as well
I cracked up the second I saw that first photo. Priceless.
What a sweet dog to handle all that love from Adrienne.
Squeal. Love Punkadoo.
oh my gosh that first picture is sooooo funny/cute. She’s so serious hahaha and none of it is getting in the bowl. I love it.
I LOVE this!
Ohmahgoshhh this is too cute! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, this just melted my heart! I’m a sucker for german shepherds (I grew up with a german shepherd/great dane mix…YES, he was a big dog!
) and Punky is just the sweetest. What a sweet collection of pics!
so so so adorable!!
Sweet!
[...] This post made me smile. It also made me miss my dogs a WHOLE [...]
This makes me miss my shepherd from childhood, Robyn, so so much. She was the best companion for me as a little girl. I used to put my arm around her neck and sing her love songs. She was the best and so patient. They are amazingly sweet dogs!
I laughed out loud at the first picture
My boyfriend’s mom has a German Shepherd and she’s convinced they’re soul mates. Such sweet, sweet dogs.
Aaaand I’m jealous of Adrienne’s onesie.
That is adorable! I love how Adrienne feeds her! My son does the same thing with our cat’s dish.
I just love German Shepherds. I had one when I was growing up and she was the sweetest and most gentle dog!
Oh, so cute! I love this!
You KNOW what a crazy dog lady I am.
I love this! And i love the relationship between your two kids.
Aw Punky. I loved this!
There is truly nothing sweeter than the innocent bond between a toddler and her/his dog. Sometimes I think we were crazy to bring home a puppy when Sam was barely a year old. But I have loved watching their relationship grow!
Great work, webmaster, nice design!
always a big fan of linking to bloggers that I enjoy but really don’t get lots of link love from
The data talked about within the article are several of the very best accessible
very couple of sites that take place to be comprehensive beneath, from our point of view are undoubtedly nicely really worth checking out
