that Shiner rides the short bus. I overheard my neighbors talking about him the other day when I walked out in my back yard. At first, I admit it, I got a little defensive but I have to admit the boy is pretty "special". This is the same boy that was scared of guys on the tv when he first came home. He was afraid of a leash and a collar. He will sometimes ram into the bed when he doesn't jump on it. Spatial issues! And he also high centered himself trying to jump over the sidewall of the truck. Yep, definitely would ride the short bus if he wasn't afraid of it. But really making fun of him when you don't live with him? So now I think I'm going to get a bumper sticker made that has a picture of Shiner on it and it says "Have you hugged your Tard today". Then I'm going to paste it to him.

They have a new dog and Shiner was barking at them and the dog and I walked out just in time to hear something about throwing something at him and it wouldn't hurt him because he rode the short bus. I watch this neighbor pretty closely because I have seen him throw something over into my yard before when the dogs were out. He had a garden in his back yard and threw some of his nasty produce over. I guess to see if my dogs would eat it but they won't touch food from a stranger.

It sounds to me as though it is the neighbors who need to ride on the short bus!

Well, let's wait until the new dog gets comfy and he/she and Shiner start to have "conversations" (what my neighbor calls it), then which dog is your neighbor going to throw rotten food at??
Shiner, it's ok. Some of the smartest people have NO common sense. And you can always say you have no depth perception, that's why you're kind of clumsy.

Oh Shiner there is nothing wrong with riding the short bus! Rosie and Farley ride one too. Some days it is just harder than others to get legs, jumping and timing all together to jump on the bed. Have that problem myself somedays..haha
Your neighbour sounds like a real nice guy

It's okay Shiner. My husband tells Sioux all the time that she is the short bus driver. And Smoke would be more then glad to sit with you and lick the windows (since he licks EVERYTHING).
That is a pretty mean thing for your neighbors to say. I would probably call my neighbors out if they did something like that. Us joking around with our pups about doing that sort of thing is one thing, but not someone else. I even get defensive when people refer to Sioux as the "mean one" because she's afraid of new people. Some people these days

We have some short bus riders here too but in my opinion they are the best! Your neighbor sounds like such a nice fellow!!
