BOO WATCH: SIBLING RIVALRY?

We've long suspected that Boo, Showbiz pet Mogul and Puggle Extordanaire, has somewhat of an 'upper paw' when it comes to the old Gyllenhaal family dynamic, but new pictures of 'Mother's Day Beach Stroll and Casual Low Altitude Rock Climbing' have surfaced which throws into disarray everything we once thought we knew.

1. In this first picture you will notice how Boo appears to be fussing about something. The Gyllenhaals look on alarmed and confused, apart from Atticus, who couldn't give a crap. What's Boo upset about? I can only presume it's because he is a, having to walk and b, having to walk alongside someone who isn't Jake. Don't judge dear Boo, you know you'd be exactly the same.

2. It appears firm words have now been had and the puggle has been silenced. Boo's rightful postion continues to be ursurped by the Alsation. He resorts to giving Atticus "the evils". Atticus, yet again, could not give a crap.

3.Boo's childish antics are heavily reprimanded as he is made to walk in a regimented fashion BEHIND Jake and Atticus. Is there a finer indignity for a puggle to suffer? The shame. Atticus on the other hand, looks mighty chipper about the whole incident.

So, fellow A-list mutt aficinados, who is truly the alpha dog in this love triangle? Discuss.

Pics from IHJ.

If I was a $1000 designer pup myself, I would also be very irritated at having to walk and not be carried by my sexy human..(Jake).
However Boo...look at the bright side...you're view is nothing to complain about...mmm mmm

i think jake is the stud duck .... hmmm... dog.... in the 'triangle' ;P

Aww...poor naive Boo. Though the puggle maybe a cute little accessory to pick up girls, Atticus is of German ancestory. They come from strong stock those Germans. I'd bet a years supply of Kibbles and Bits Atticus is top dog in the Gyllenhaal kennel

Yay Boo! I want a Boo!

Alpha dog is Jake, followed by Atticus, with Boo (literally in this case) bringing up the rear.

Poor Boo, oh well, he can take comfort in the knowledge that he's second in cuteness behind Jake.

GO ATTICUS!!!!!!!!!!

As adorable as Boo is it's great to see Atti getting the lions share of the attention for once....

Atticus is too cool for school, he wins by a country mile.

Sam said...

scarey that the last pictures of boo was from mothers day. We've seen atticus since but not boo. For all we know boo is sitting in the gyllnehaal bad on a kings throne with servents airing him with palm leaves. I think HES the favourite!

^^for all we know they might have eaten him on the mother's day :P

kaydee are you trying to give me nightmares?!

I can reassure you somewhat regarding Boo. He HAS been sighted since the Gyllenhaal family stroll (Jake, Maggie, Peter, Ramona, Atticus) on 26 November.

About a week later ...

Granted, Boo does have that huge cuteness factor working for him, but.....
when Jake wants to reinforce his "don't mess with those near and dear to me" message to the paps, who is the top dog then? Atticus, of course.
No accident that it was Atti walking shotgun with Jake a few weeks ago with Maggie, Peter and baby...... no puggle's gonna beat a German Shepherd at the intimidation thing!

Maybe Boo paused in his walk to cough for a bit, and looked like he might barf? Because he ate something nasty on the beach? Dogs often have heart-stopping (for their owners) gastronomical adventures.

Atticus is quite a handsome fellow, really. Even if that one ear tends to go a little loppy. He has a very strong black mask on his face. (Looks like he's ready to rob a 7-11.) He always looks so calmly possessive of Jake. Like, "I don't have to work for it like you do, Boo."

An Open Letter To Britpopbaby

We get it. You think you’re funny and Jake Watch is special. Guess what it’s mediocre at best. The design lacks creation, the posts once were funny are now just an obligation. PG is no help either. Let’s just be honest Jake Watch has really declined. Unlike Waiting For Toothy your commenters are boring and unable to add the missing life back to Jake Watch.

Remember when Jake Watch was fun? When you weren’t trying to be superior to any other blog? You’re giving your falling readership nothing much these days. Flush it down the toilet where it currently belongs.

Start over.

GREMLIN! ;)

It would be my guess that when Daddy (Jake) has to be away for what ever reason, the kiddies, Atticus and Boo, stay with Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop. At least that's what is normal around here. Sometimes I have all five grandkids and both grand-dogs. Boo looks like he likes Grandmom alot. When we don't see him for a while he's probably hanging out with her.

britpopbaby said...

Mpom, do you have access to the JW forums?

anon 11:58, i think your link got cut off, cuz it won't work! anyone know which post-mother's day boo pics this person's talking about?

Anonymous said...

smurfette, it isn't pictures that are being linked to. It's a write-up on a blog about a woman meeting Jake, Boo and Atticus at a dog-park (in December) when her own dog tried to steal a baseball out of Jake's hand.

salailama said...

thanks for clearing that up, muffin. cute story =).

Boo is now a grown up pet and can kick your ass, he isn't a baby anymore!

This is totally off topic but there is a strong gas smell all over NYC, some places have been evacuated. My build smells of gas as well and I think we will be evacuating as well. This is freaking people out here as you can imagine. Sigh.

Anonymous said...

Update: It seems the cause for the gas leak was a construction accident downtown, they hit a gas pipe. You can understand the panic here though.

britpopbaby said...

Is it fixed yet? Gas leak = not cool.

Anonymous said...

The mayor said that the smell was actually the chemical mercaptan. It's put into natural gas to alert everyone that there is a gas leak. Earlier reports of a construction accident downtown proved false. They still don't know what caused the smell but all seems quiet on the western front, the smell has dissapeared for the moment.

Anonymous said...

To all you guys in NY: glad the gas leak did not develop into something disastrous and that everything seems to be OK.

You guys actually like this guy? he's cute but you are like meglomaniacs?
