“I was NOT raised this way” 😂
When Myko’s mom went to pick him up from his grandparents’ house after one of his stays, she came to the realization that her parents had changed their style quite a bit from when she was a kid.
Not only was Myko allowed on the table after breakfast to give his grandparents some cuddles, but he then sat right down as if he was allowed up there all the time.
“I was NOT raised this way,” Myko’s mama, who chooses to remain confidential, joked in a May Instagram caption. “Please explain why he is allowed to do whatever he wants?”
Like most grandparents, Myko’s are constantly thinking about brand-new methods to ruin their grand-dog. And due to the fact that they enjoy him a lot, they have actually ended up being Myko’s preferred individuals.
“Myko is OBSESSED with his grandparents,” his mama informed The Dodo. “As soon as he hears their names, he starts wagging his tail and talking/chirping about going to see them.”
Myko visits his grandparents 3 to 4 times a week while his mama works. “It’s like his second home, but we call it his ‘vacation home,’” she said. “They love having him, and he loves them so much.”
Myko’s connection with his grandparents began when he initially left a high-kill shelter as a puppy in South Carolina.
“When we brought Myko home, they couldn’t wait to come and meet him,” Myko’s mama said. “It was love at first sight for Myko and for them.”
Being able to climb up on the table is simply among the important things Myko can get away with when he’s at his “vacation home.” He likewise gets a lot of treats, appreciation, family pets and snuggles throughout the day.
“[His grandparents] have all kinds of special routines they do with him,” Myko’s mama said. “For example, anytime they know he’s coming to their house in the morning, his grandfather saves him some ‘eggies’ and his Grammy saves him part of her toast, which they call ‘crusties.’”
Myko likewise has tea with them every early morning he’s there, and the 3 of them enjoy the birds outside.
In the afternoon, Myko “meditates” on his grandparents’ bed, and after that they all opt for a walk at the regional duck pond.
“He also sleeps in their bed and cuddles with them watching shows, and movies throughout the day,” his mama said.
Myko’s mama confesses that he certainly gets dealt with similar to a human grandchild.
“Perhaps the funniest thing is that when Myko stays [overnight], his grandfather goes and sleeps in one of their guest bedrooms so that Myko can sleep next to and cuddle with his Grammy all night,” she said. “This is particularly funny because, at home, Myko is crate-trained and does not sleep in bed with us.”
He might not oversleep bed with his mother and father, however Myko is certainly ruined at home, too.
“Our whole life basically revolves around making sure he’s happy,” his mama said. “We fenced in our backyard so that he could run freely and have his doggy friends over to play. We regularly buy him steaks for dinner, and every night his dad makes him a fresh dinner of vegetables, fruits, eggs and meat. We go on lots of adventures and are constantly looking for new and fun activities to do with him.”
He likewise likes getting involved his blue blankie, and he even has his own space to pull back to when loud sounds like fireworks and thunder destroy his good state of mind.
And due to the fact that he’s extremely delicate and deals with stress and anxiety, Myko’s moms and dads have actually moved their way of life to much better accommodate his requirements.
“We’ve hired an in-home vet so that he’s not overly stressed going into an office,” his mama continued. “If his grandparents aren’t around to watch him when we’re away, we hire pet sitters to stay in our home with him.”
“Myko has an ENORMOUS personality and a TON of feelings – I think this is what draws people to him,” Myko’s mama shared. “He’s highly sensitive and appears to feel things in a way that you would expect humans to.”
Despite his stress and anxiety, Myko’s mama said he’s exceptionally brave, wise, amusing and responsive to the assistance he receives from his moms and dads and grandparents.
“There are so many ways that Myko has made our lives better,” his mama said. “He is absolutely our soulmate.”
