My head has sprung a leak!

Do I look like (a) my head has sprung a leak or (b) I am part whale and have a spout?

Wordless Wednesday

 

 

Pee S:  We need to mention that we originally thought my dad took this picture, but he just saw it somewhere and sent it to my mom.  If it's your picture we'd be happy to give you credit, just let us know!

 

You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duncan:            You HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME MOM!!!

Mom:                Insert  huh?  look here ….

Duncan:            You seriously want me to walk around all day with these floor cleaners on my paws to help you finish your chores????

Mom:                Yup.

Duncan:            I repeat … YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!

Mom:                Turnabout is fair play, D.

Duncan:            What in the world are you talking about?

Mom:                I help you write the blog, you help me clean the floors.

Duncan:            Nobody in blogville can see our floors, mom.

Mom:                D, where do you sleep every night?  Pee inside the house lately?

Duncan:            There has got to be a better way ….

Duncan:            She has totally lost her mind ..

Duncan:            Will there be treats involved?

We can't go on this way ....

 

Duncan:     Mom, we need to talk.

Mom:         About what, D?

Duncan:     About how you kind of are not very organized anymore.

Mom:        Yeah.  Old age.

Duncan:     You're not old enough to use that as an excuse, Mom.

Mom:         Why, that may be the nicest thing you have ever said to me, D.

Duncan:     You're missing the point.

Mom:         Sorry, what were we talking about?

Duncan:    YOUR DISORGANIZATION IS KILLING ME.

Duncan:    Breathe, buddy, breathe.

Duncan:     I took the liberty of hacking your Pinterest account and finding some printables for us.

Mom:         You hacked my account?

Duncan:     Ignore.  Ignore.

Duncan:     Take a look Mom.

Mom:         Ohhhhhh, look at that "What's cooking .... " page.  What font do you think they used?

Duncan:     This is so not going well.

Duncan:      Mom, PLEASE focus on the blog planner.  The meal planner is pretty, but Dad can     feed himself if he has to.  This blog cannot write itself.  Remember the whole "paws on the keyboard" thing?  YOU HAVE TO FOCUS MOM.

Mom:          Are there treats involved?

Thankful to have known Greta!

Our hearts are still breaking for Sweet Greta's family.  We went back and did a review of lots of posts on their blog and you could just tell what a close family they are!!

Our favorite post was on 1/14/14 when they joined Mollie, Alfie and Easy for Time Warp Tuesday. We hope it is OK that we stole this picture from the blog and are posting it here -- it was too cute not to remind everybody of .... look at this pic of Greta on her way to her new house with her mom on her gotcha day:



What an itty bitty package of cuteness!

Don't forget tomorrow is a special day!

Don't forget tomorrow is THANKFUL TO HAVE KNOWN GRETA DAY everybuddy!!

How to be Dangerous by Duncan B.

Get it here.

 

Ok, puppers.  We're going to end our book week with a good one ... The Dangerous Book for Dogs, by Rex and Sparky, with the assistance of Joe Garden, Janet Ginsburg, Chris Pauls, Anita Serwacki, and Scott Sherman. 

 

I can't believe my mom actually let me read this one, since it says in the forward that one of the reasons they wrote it was to put us puppers back in touch with our "thrill seeking roots."  I think we can all agree that I am pretty well in touch with my thrill seeking roots.  See previous "Dog Overboard" post. 

 

To give you an idea of why I like this one so much here is a sampling of chapters included in the book: 

• A Connoisseur's Guide to Shoes
• How to Escape Humiliating Costumes
• Poop: An indelicate discussion
• Foul Smells Every Dog Should Roll in

There is also a chapter on the The Formal Rules of Fetch:

 

 



 

And I quote "Humans are awarded points based on throw and dogs are awarded points based on retrieval.  Humans are awarded 5 points per one yard distance of throw.  A dog is awarded 37 points if the stick is returned within 10 minutes.  Humans earn 42 bonus points if stick is thrown again within 30 seconds of it being retrieved and dropped.  Dogs earn 154 points and 12 liver treats for catching a stick in midair." 

 

Who knew??  Other than I think we should get 87 points if the stick is returned within 10 minutes, I think the rules are pretty fair. 

 

There is also a section on "How to Make Your Owner Look Like an Idiot" but rather than discussing that here, one suggestion is to poop twice on the same walk because owners "never see it coming. Ever, Ever, Ever."  I think it would be in my best interest  (I have not been given my rawhide treat for the day yet) to leave the details of that chapter up to you to read should you so desire.  And, yes, I did read it.  My thrill seeking roots couldn't resist.
