Bath Time

Bubble, bubble, time for trouble. No, I don't get a bubble bath, thank God for that. I just don't like getting wet, much less taking a bath. If there is a sprinkler on when we go for a walk, I want to turn around and go the other way. So she will either put me on the other side of where the water is coming from or, will pick me up and carry me so I don't get wet. Bath time, no such luck, it's in the water for me. Oh boy. I do smell better after the bath, and I do get a treat, but I still don't like it. What's a dog to do?

Fear of Driving

If dogs could pray, I'd be doing that every time we got in a car. I don't know what it is, maybe a flashback to a bad past life experience, but I always resist getting in the car with her. I know most dogs, love car rides, but I don't. Once in the car, I'm usually gasping for breath looking out the passenger side window until I make my way over to her. Once I am laying across her lap, either holding onto her leg or holding onto the door handle, I'm okay. I feel more secure and protected. Of course, occasionally I look up and out the window and wonder are we there yet? She always has a way of making me feel better, by patting me on the head, and telling me it's okay, we'll be there soon.

Treat Tasting For Dogs

What a concept. Who needs wine tasting, when you can have treat tasting. I'd like to give the person who came up with this idea, a big lick on the face to thank them. Yes, it was held at the Feed. Going there in the afternoon during the week, I had the four plates of different treats all to myself. Well, almost all to myself. I already had one round of treats, when along comes these two guys with their female pit bull. So the lady there gave this dog treats. I'm thinking, wait a minute, back off girl dog, those treats are all for me. Right? Guess not. I let her know this was my territory, so we sort of got into it a bit. The pit bull was bigger than me, but did I care, no. I am and always will be top dog and the alpha male. So I was pulled off of this dog, and guess what, they left, and I got more treats. Yeah. Now, that's what I'm talking about. How does that song go,"start spreading the chews, I'm hungry today, I want to eat every bite of it, L.A., L.A. These vagabound paws, are pulling away, right through the very heart of it, L.A. L.A. I want to wake up in a plate of fresh meat, and find, I'm King of the Hill, -on top of the treats, L.A. L.A. got to love it my way, this way! Snort.
