Counter-Surfing - the art of attaining tasty treats that our humans leave on counters or tables, supposedly off limits and out of our reach. *hmmph*

Shhhhhhh….. Ok pups, here’s a few tips for safe and successful counter-surfing!

Counter-surfin’ Tips

1. Don’t counter-surf when a human is in the same room. They will only try to stop you.

2. While counter-surfing, be as quiet as you can so you can get away with it. If you make excessive noises humans will investigate and stop you from your quest.

3. If somebody comes into the room while you are in the act, jump down and act innocent so the humans will leave the room and you can continue counter-surfing. Read more… »

This was cute so I thought I’d share it with you. Go ahead, have some fun and take the quiz, see what your dog or cat would be if it were a celeb!

Results for my Jezzie;

Wow, your dog is Angelina Jolie!

Angelina Jolie

Traditional Beauty

Just like with Hollywood superhero Angelina Jolie, they broke the mold after they created Jezzie!

Defying the conventional meaning of the word pawpular, Jezzie can’t scratch behind an ear without it being reported and talked about. Jezzie leaves pets of the opposite sex blubbering and babbling nonsensically after each encounter, their cuteness and charm receptors bubbling over with excitement. Always one to entice a broad audience, Jezzie not only loves to strut her stuff on the dogwalk, but digs every chance she gets to make a difference, adopt a pet in need or dish out for her favorite charity.

Hi fellow pups, Bruti here with a bit of advise! Mom says I am basically a pretty good dog but there are certain things I really should remember so I thought I’d make a list and share it with all you fellow pups out there to help you out. So here’s the list of things mom wants me to remember!

Things I Must Remember
by Bruti

I will not play tug-of-war with Dad’s underwear when he’s on the toilet.

The garbage collector is NOT stealing our stuff. (looks like it to me!)

I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I’m lying under the coffee table.

I will scoot my bottom on the grass to rid myself of hangers-on. (hmmm… guess carpet scooting isn’t a good thing then? )

I will not roll my toys behind the fridge. (but it’s so much fun to see mom or dad trying to get them out!)

I must shake the rainwater out of my fur BEFORE entering the house.

I will not drop soggy tennis balls in the underwear of someone who is sitting on the toilet. Read more… »

Now if you’re a dog owner, there’s a good chance you deal with dog hair… dog hair here, there and everywhere! As soon as you finish vacuuming and dusting you look around and swear there’s no way you could have missed all that dog hair that seems to have mysteriously shown up again! It’s a never ending vicious cycle!

My favorite time of year is when the weather starts getting warmer and I can clip my Jezzie and Bruti down. Sure, they still shed but the fur is so short that it’s hardly noticeable. I usually figure I can get all the fur in the house removed just in time for fall when I let their coats start to grow out again… or not!

Well today I came across an unusual story and solution. No, it’s not how to get rid of the dog fur but something you can do with it to make it useful. If you can use a chuckle, read on, it’s great!

One man’s plan to use dog hair to solve the energy crisis

We can use it to fire utility plants, insulate the attic, and act as an additive for gasoline – Petkinol.

I think I’ve found the solution to our national energy problem. All I know for sure is that I’m in possession of a remarkable renewable resource. What I desperately need is for someone to evaluate my data and then advise me on how to proceed in order to bring the greatest good to the greatest number of Americans.

Our collective future could be determined by a yellow Labrador retriever named Lottie. She has a wonderful disposition and grows a completely new coat of hair every 18 to 24 hours. I know this because of the physical evidence that accumulates throughout the house, day after day, regardless of how often I fight back with my broom and vacuum cleaner.

Hey pups, now don’t get me wrong, Jezzie and I love our mommy and daddy but sometimes it just too much fun not to play with them! It’s amazing just how much they underestimate us so Jezz and I put together a really fun list of things you can do to your people. Don’t worry, nothing bad but you’ll be barking out loud over it!!!!

• After your humans give you a bath, DON’T LET THEM TOWEL DRY YOU! Instead, run to their bed, jump up and dry yourself off on the sheets. This is especially good if it’s right before your humans bedtime.

• Act like a convicted criminal. When the humans come home, put your ears back, tail between your legs, chin down and act as if you have done something really bad. Then, watch as the humans frantically search the house for the damage they think you have caused. (Note: This only works when you have done absolutely nothing wrong.) Read more… »

Many of you probably know, if you’ve stopped by occasionally, I am the proud pet parent of two beautiful English Springer Spaniels and they are beyond spoiled! Springers are often referred to as ‘velcro’ dogs because they tend to be very attached to their people and mine are no different.

Jezzie, my 5 year old liver and white girl, has her spot under my desk when I am in the office working. Bruti, my 4 year old black and white boy just hangs out wherever he wants, with me most of the time but when my other half is home, Bruti often spends time with him… except on football Sunday.

Jezz is a pretty laid back dog for a Springer, not to much bothers her. She barks at the normal stuff, usually after Bruti clues her in that something is happening. Other than that, she’s usually content just to lay around, play ball, chase the laser and stuff like that.

Now Bruti is my ‘beast boy.’ He barrels around the house and the yard regardless of who or what is in his way. He is 60lbs of bulldozer dog! He barks at anything that catches his attention, chases our two cats for fun and is basically like an oversized perpetual puppy. Now one thing about Bruti is that he hates loud noises, they actually send him running, usually to me and as close as he can get. Ever had a 60lb dog catapult himself into your lap unexpectantly?

Just a quick tip on building trust with your canine companion…. whenever your dog comes to you, always be nice and welcoming. This way if there is ever a problem and you call, he won’t be hesitant to come to you.

When something unpleasant is involved, giving a pill, clipping nails or bath-time, anything your dog would be averse to, go to him, give him a treat first then the bath, pill, etc. Otherwise if you call him to you then proceed to do something he doesn’t like he will be hesitant to come next time you call.

This is something I know from experience. My Jezzie needs to have her ears cleaned quite frequently and obviously this is not a treatment she is fond of. Being the softie I am with my little girl, I passed this chore to my other half. For a time he didn’t understand why I told him to go to her rather than call her to him and it didn’t take long before she hid every time he called her. Finally he understood and it’s taken a while, and an awful lot of pampering and treats on his part, but now he goes to her for her ear treatment and she doesn’t run when he calls her to him anymore. Just goes to show that sometimes the dog isn’t the only one who needs to be trained!!
