Yesterday “A Man Thing”

 

Hi Y’all,

Tuesday means my Human goes to Bible study.  I used to wait by the door for her, no matter what my Papa did to entice me.  Not any more!

Tuesdays have become a special “man day”.  Papa and I hang out together, go for walks and play, unless it is too hot.  Papa is much more generous with the treats than Mamma, too.  She’s afraid I’ll get fat! 

Between typical thundershowers, Papa and I went out to play! Above, I wait at heel for him to throw.

Caught!  Before it bounced!

  1. I love hanging out with my Papa too! He gives the best neck rubs and calls me Dickens Dawg! I love that. He's the alpha dog and never pull on the leash or anything with him. If I were a fetching kind of dog, I'd probably fetch for him. I'm kind of some timey about that.

    Just hopping by!

    Enjoy Man day

    Your pal

  2. Chester and Gretel's daddy used to give them way too many treats until mamma conviced him he was making them fat - so we can undersatnd. Treats are so yummy though so mamma gives us less food so we can still have a good ammount of treats.

  11. Excellent catch Hawk! Love that picture. We buy treats for tiny dogs around here. A few go a long way...or at least we try to convince the 2 brown dawgs of that!

  14. Caught before it bounced?!?!?! You need to come visit and teach Mr. Murphy some catching skills. His retrieving strategy involves skidding 5-10 feet past the ball, rounding back, and (when he's lucky) getting it in another 2-3 tries.
