Cookie, my rat terrier, is once again at the gas fireplace worried that something is in the chimney. And it probably is! I've found that when it's cold and winter, we hear fluttering up there and a bird has probably come down to keep warm. She'll be there all day or until whatever it is leaves, forsaking treats ("biscuits") and even dinner.
She love birds--to eat! She's so fast that I don't dare put a bird bath in the back yard or she'll pick them off like fish in a barrel.
So Cookie is busy and Gus, my Boston Terrier, is bugging me to play. I tried but when I do manage to win tug of war and throw the toy for him to get, he'll usually just go to his chew stick or find something else because he's such a sore loser! Then five minutes later he'll be pestering me to play again.
Dogs are so funny! What kinds of things make you laugh about your dogs?

They certainly will find the most comfortable places and positions, won't they? I just uploaded a pic of my two lounging on the couch!

I like it when they sneak, or try to. It's funny, you tell them to sit and they want to come play with you, so they'll sneak over and try to sit right by your feet. I think it just shows how much respect dogs have for their owner when they want to sit right by your feet.

I should be so lucky! Gus knows no such boundaries, if he wants on your lap he just jumps right up. At 37 pounds (not fat, just a huge Boston!) it's quite a surprise if I'm not ready for it. I really need to take the dogs to obedience school but they don't get along with other dogs and they're 7 & 8 so I think it'd be an exercise in futility.
They're pretty well behaved generally, though.
I've seen dogs like yours, they're so cute when they're worming across the floor trying not to be seen! Just big or little bundles or irrepressible love!
