Chooch the bully 😂

Don’t be fooled by the hat, the calm face, or that slightly smirking expression—Chooch is absolutely that guy. The moment you think you’re just having a peaceful day, here comes Chooch with his big personality, loud bark, and sneaky little tricks, ready to stir the pot!

Lately, he’s been on full-time patrol duty while CiCi goes through heartworm treatment. Since she has to stay calm and indoors, Chooch has decided he’s now in charge of enforcing the rules—his rules. If CiCi so much as looks at the back door with a wag, Chooch is there, side-eyeing her like, “Don’t even think about it.” 😂

He’s not mean, of course. Just… bossy. Very, very bossy. Like when you try to sneak CiCi a toy or distract her with something fun, Chooch trots over and snatches it like he’s her personal security guard. One minute he’s laying down all relaxed, the next minute he’s standing between her and the excitement like a bodyguard who takes his job way too seriously.

But let’s be honest—we love it. He’s the classic big brother: always watching, always nosy, and always low-key snitching. He might be a little over the top, but it’s because he cares. He remembers being the one getting all the attention, and now that CiCi’s in the spotlight (and needs special care), Chooch is managing her schedule like a full-blown stage mom.

Still, behind all that “bully” behavior is a heart of gold. He misses running outside with her just as much as she does. And when no one’s watching, he’ll curl up next to her and nuzzle in close—just to make sure she’s okay.

So yeah, Chooch might be a little pushy. He might take his new role way too seriously. But we wouldn’t have it any other way. 😂🐾❤️
