Sherman Meet Gibby. Gibby Meet Sherman.
Sherman’s life for the past month has been anything but exciting.
Restricted activity.
Confinement.
Outside to go to the bathroom ONLY.
No running, no jumping, no leaping, no trotting.
You get my drift.
His life had been non-adventurous.
Which has led him to following me around everywhere.
I mean, he normally follows me around but lately it has gotten kind of stalker-ish.
Everywhere I go Sherman is sure to follow.
I don’t think I’ve gone to the bathroom by myself in weeks and putting laundry away by myself is just unheard of.
Every room that I go into to put clothes away he is right there by my side making sure I do it correctly.
Which is how he ran into Gibby the other day.
I went into Bobby’s room to put some clothes away and before I could close the door Sherman pushed his way through, which was no big deal because he’s been in there before but this time Gibby just happened to be visible and making squeaking noises from inside his cage.
And then before I knew it they were nose to nose.
Thankfully, Gibby was safely secured behind bars.
You see Sherman is not a fan of rodents. He’s actually be known to pin several groundhogs underneath his massive body, in our backyard.
On more than one occasion.
I fear that he may just swallow little Gibby in a single gulp if he could, or flatten him like a guinea pig pancake.
Notice the foam building up on the side of his mouth?
That’s a sign that he sees something delicious to eat.
Anyway, after a few minutes Gibby ran into his little hideout because I think Sherman freaked him out a bit and ever since then Sherman has been sitting and waiting for Gibbys return.

January 21, 2013 at 6:08 am (150 days ago)Rooo Sherman didn’t want to eat Gibby – he is only watching ‘doggie TV’ *waggy tail*

Kisses,

January 21, 2013 at 7:02 am (150 days ago)gotta say I feel sorry for Gibby on THIS one! Imagine being THAT small and seeing a giant doggy foaming at the mouth while they are looking at you!

January 21, 2013 at 7:49 am (150 days ago)Poor Sherman! I bet he is bored to death, no wonder he has taken to Guinea Pig watching…
Jodi
January 21, 2013 at 8:17 am (150 days ago)Oh Sherman, you remind me of another brown dog I know of. If I were Gibby, I’d probably hide too!! LOL
Pip
January 21, 2013 at 8:29 am (150 days ago)Well, Gibby sure is brave – I am pretty sure my bunny sister Lulu would have freaked out. She’s even afraid of me!
Your pal, Pip
we three doxies
January 21, 2013 at 8:37 am (150 days ago)I is purty amazed Sherman is ONLY droolin’ and not blowin’ Gibby’s house down.
If dat were me I SOOOOOOO wouldn’ not be sittin’ still. I deaded a ground hog once….good times, good times.

January 21, 2013 at 8:43 am (150 days ago)Hi Y’all!
Hang in there Sherman! Sooner or later Gibby HAS to come out to get a drink or eat! Although, it could be a long wait…
Y’all come by now,

January 21, 2013 at 8:50 am (150 days ago)Poor Gibby! I hope he isn’t too scared of Sherman.
I remember Laura used to be very patient when she spotted something interesting; she could just sit and wait there for hours.
I wonder what Sherman is doing now? Did he tell Leroy about Gibby?
Vicki
January 21, 2013 at 9:14 am (150 days ago)OH boy, poor Gibby is probably shaking in his little hide out. I’d be scared too with a big Brown, frothing head frozen next to my cage.
Roxy the traveling dog
January 21, 2013 at 9:18 am (150 days ago)I’ll bet Gibby was freaked out. But at least Sherman isn’t stalking you anymore.

January 21, 2013 at 10:18 am (150 days ago)This sounds like a definite mental exercise for both Sherman and Gibby. Law of the jungle and all…
Kimberly, The Fur Mom
January 21, 2013 at 11:18 am (150 days ago)This is so hilarious. Our dogs kill mice with one head snap. And Rodrigo killed a baby bunny when he was a puppy. Now they team up and kill moles.
I didn’t know they had it in them, but they prove me wrong every week.

January 21, 2013 at 11:48 am (150 days ago)Guess that’s one way to put the brakes on Stalking Sherman:) Stay safe, Gibby.

January 21, 2013 at 12:11 pm (150 days ago)Well lookee there! Sherman’s found something to keep him busy! And keep the wheels in his head turning. Heh. Good dog.
Marquie
January 21, 2013 at 12:21 pm (150 days ago)Oh no, Sherman looks hungry, haha.
Poor Gibby is probably gonna have nightmares.

January 21, 2013 at 12:57 pm (150 days ago)Ooooh I love guinea pigs! We had a guinea pig named Gipper. Gibby looks really cute. And Sherman appears to be just watching…like a good boy! Maybe they’ll be pals!
Missy@dawsondogs
January 21, 2013 at 2:34 pm (149 days ago)I wish that I could hear Sherman’s thoughts. I would be very interesting indeed. Is the pig friend or lunch. Hummm.

January 21, 2013 at 3:58 pm (149 days ago)Ha! I can picture Sherman lying in wait outside the door now!
Nichole
January 21, 2013 at 6:13 pm (149 days ago)Awww… too bad they can’t be friends! LOL They’d be one cute pair!
Jackie Bouchard
January 21, 2013 at 7:43 pm (149 days ago)Well, at least Sherman has found something to do: Gibby TV. Hope he just watches!
snoopy@snoopysdogblog
January 21, 2013 at 10:07 pm (149 days ago)Oh Sherman,
Aren’t those little Guinea Pigs just so fascinating! Be careful though buddy, cos remember when I got stuck in all the glue cos I got a little too interested in Cosmo’s Guinea Pigs – they lay traps for you!
Big wags and watch out,
Your pal Snoopy

January 21, 2013 at 11:05 pm (149 days ago)Oh Sherman, Gibby is not a snack, BOL

January 21, 2013 at 11:51 pm (149 days ago)We had a hamster that escaped and mom thinks one of us ate her:( Guess mom will never know what really happened to Elly. We used to sit and watch Elly too!
Jana Rade
January 22, 2013 at 2:44 am (149 days ago)Well, by all measures, Gibby IS FOOD. At least to dog’s mind.
Urban Hounds
January 22, 2013 at 6:31 am (149 days ago)Very cute, but I agree Id be a little nervous about a meeting. Sherman is so sweet though I bet he would be very gentle

January 22, 2013 at 7:32 am (149 days ago)LOL! The guinea pig pancake had me in stitches. (Sorry Bobby!)
Let us hope Sherman doesn’t figure out how to open cages with all the free time he has on hand. I fear Gibby would not be happy. (Maybe he’s just watching because it’s like dog TV?)
Taryn
January 22, 2013 at 8:47 am (149 days ago)My guys would definitely see Gibby as a snack!
tori
January 22, 2013 at 12:26 pm (149 days ago)LOL my dogs are so good with my pig..they just stare – they don’t touch. Sherman is certainly intrigued.
Amy@GoPetFriendly
January 22, 2013 at 5:19 pm (148 days ago)LOL! I hope Sherman wouldn’t eat Gibby. Maybe he was foaming just because he was excited to finally meet the littlest member of the household. I’m sure Sherman’s been smelling Gibby and wondering where you guys were hiding him!

January 23, 2013 at 9:34 pm (147 days ago)Oh dear!
The first time Bella met her bunny cousin (who was in her cage at the time), she stuck her tongue through the bars and licked her. That poor bunny didn’t know what to do.
