The Ne'er-Ending Tale of a Carpet Alligator

Nov 27, 2006 20:34

I'm back from my trip, and I'll post details (and photos) soon, but first, I am two weeks behind on Alex's baby pictures. These pictures were taken at eleven and twelve weeks of age.

( Have You Ever Seen Such a Carpet Alligator? )

Pumpkins, eh?

Awwww... *pets doggie with pumpkin* So precious!

We saw a ginormous chocolate lab at PetSmart tonight (Alex, of course, wanted to be friends, never mind that the dog was ten times his size!) and his guardian said, "Just wait till yours is this big!" o.O

Our past retrievers have also stolen some funny things. We were eating pizza on New Years once and Sunnie nanced on up and took a single piece in her teeth, went back to her bed, and ate it. I guess it was a holiday for her too! :^P

Moose waited until my mom was looking at the TV, then took a big bite of her banana. His rationale was that she was holding it right at eye level.

I'm trying to teach Alex not to stand up to look onto the counters now, but I know he'll get away with some funny things in the years to come. Before we had Crosby, he ate a whole roll of Polish kilbasa sausage one Christmas. His previous guardian said that he had the foulest burps for the better part of the day.

Yep, big doggies are cool. :)

Hehe! That big indeed! And you know, labs are usually smaller than goldens...;P And hey, my dog likes blondes. *giggle*

My dogs get bits from the counter all the time, courtesy of us suckers. :D I don't think they've snagged anything off the counter since the pie though. We got pretty upset over the pie. ;) But Loki licks the edge of the table. And they both eat off of forks. For stealing, they prefer weirder things. Like socks (bad!), or jalapenos. I think Loki must have eaten four in one day. We've learned to keep food much higher than doggie eye-level! Loki's half-sister stole a bagel off the tabel once. In all honesty, I think I have the dogs with the best table manners in the country! Someone else's dog jumped up on the table and stuck her head in the Cheetos at a dog party one year! *lol*

*misses her big doggies, even though she just left two days ago*

*pops out of the woodwork to ogle* *much "Awwwww"ing ensues*

:) I think that's got to be the most beautiful puppy I've seen in... ever. Ever ever.

And re: pets stealing things? My cat stole a pork chop right off the table once... True story! I came in for dinner, and my mom looked at me in puzzlement: "Er... Did you already eat?"
Me: "Noooo..."
Cat: *smirks*

He is always v. bad during mealtimes: he plants himself next to one of us, stands on his hind legs, and meows and gently (but insistently) nudges us with his front paws. *facepalm*

Chewy-the-mutt, OTOH, is a comparatively tame beggar.
Mostly.
Ish.
OK, he's bad, but he's not as bad as the cat.

*waves* School again, school again, jiggity jig... One week to go, yes!

So you're free by now? Yay! :^D

Alex knows he's cute...and he takes advantage of it whenever he can! :^P

That's funny about your cat. I thought my parents' orange tabby Jack was bad. He likes lunchmeat ham...but only the imported variety. Snooty cat. ;)

Their cats also sit at the table in empty chairs...and get ticked when Bobby and I are over for dinner and sit in "their" seats!

Gotta love pets. :)
