Hurley Badger Don't Care: Alter Ego Mashup

Last week, an incident occurred in which a couple of Hurley's Alter Egos came out to play:  Hurley Badger Don't Care and Hulk Smash!.

It was mid-morning on a warm summer day.  The kind of day when you leave the back door open and the windows up.  It was Sadie's turn for a walk on this fateful summer morning so I put Maggie & Hurley in the front bedroom, also known as the dog's room, and off Sadie and I went.

We were halfway down the block and only 20 seconds away from the house when a certain mischevious pup comes running after us.

Excuse me, Hurley? How the heck did you get out?

I return to the house with dogs in tow to discover one destroyed window screen.

Yup.  Hurley Badger Don't Care 'bout a flimsy screen in between him and what he wants and he Hulk'd his way out the window to join us on our walk. 

Hurley Badger Don't Care: Inaugural Post

We have a saying around our house....Hurley Don't Care.  It's a saying that perfectly encapsulates his personality - he takes what he wants and doesn't give a shit.   He is not affected by the world around him, nor influenced by others' disapproval.  He goes about his business, doing what he wants and with little regard for his own safety.  'Cause Hurley Don't Care.

It's always said in the same voice you say in your head when you look at all those "Honey Badger Don't Care" internet meme's.  This is important. 

So say it with me now:  "Hurley Badger Don't Care".  Give it some sass.  Hurley deserves it.

Hurley Badger Don't Care is making its internet debut, right here, right now:

Every so often, I'll share stories that showcase his Hurley Badger Don't Care personality.

For today's inaugural Hurley Badger Don't Care post, we bring you the 4th of July.  While most pet owners safely ensconce their precious dogs inside, possibly drugged up and certainly chewing happily on a Kong, we knew that Hurley wouldn't have an adverse reaction to the fireworks.  You could shoot a gun, set off a fire cracker, blow a fog horn, etc right next to this dog's head and he wouldn't even turn his head to look.  'Cause Hurley Badger Don't Care.

So what did we do when the fireworks started going off?  We went for a walk.  For an hour and a half, we wandered around our neighborhood.  Did Hurley get startled by the fireworks? No.  Did he even acknowledge the explosions occurring a block away?  No. 

Why?

'Cause Hurley Badger Don't Care.
