Meet Clover Ardis, the only dog in the Ardis family :) ! I believe I have mentioned him once or twice in my blogs, but this is the formal introduction. He is a Golden Retriever-Collie mix, we got him when he was 4 months old, and now he is 2.5 years old. We recently celebrated his 2 years with us.
This post is not really to rant about my dog, but it was prompted by a funny event yesterday. When Clover sleeps he dreams. And we can tell he is dreaming because he often woofs, runs (well, not like really run, but his legs move as if he were running), tail wags, and twitches in his sleep. Yesterday, for the first time ever, he humped in his sleep. I kid you not ! He was humping for atleast 30 seconds if not more. I was embarrassed and glad that it happened only when Paul and I were around, but I have to admit it was extremely funny and I regret not being able to capture it on a video :). Ah! the wonders of having a dog.
I used to think people are crazy when they look at their babies sleep and feel immense peace, but now I understand what the feeling is like. Right before going to bed at night, he will give this big sigh, while lying in his crate. That is our lulabye to go to bed.. seriously :).
When I come home from work, or for lunch, hubby opens the door with this wide irresistible smile, but let me tell you it is nothing compared to the tail wag and lickies that I get from the dog, and therefore the first hug goes to Clover. Poor husband :).
But don't get too carried away by Clover's looks or this post... we have had our fair share of "issues" with him. But you know what, it's totally worth it :)

Awww. Give clover a happy birthday kissie for me. I used to be terrified of dogs. But after meeting Clover I think I'm just mildly scared of them now :). Also, good to know that Clover is now old enough to .. umm .. have colorful dreams ;) Dream on, Clover. Dream on .. :D
