Not all pups are as interested in cuddling as the ones in yesterday’s video, of course. I keep thinking of Tempi’s post about Zoe a couple of years ago when Zoe was recovering from being hit by a car.
Zoe was “helping” mom prepare dinner. This basically means she sits in a corner and looks pathetic hoping that someone will respond to her by giving her more food (a kibble and wet food dinner not being sufficient for her). On this occasion, she seemed more subdued. She lay down in the corner and rested her head on her paws and shared those big brown eyes rather than sitting on Mom’s feet. Due to her recent accident, our Mother was very worried and laid along side of her as the carb food (barley) continued to cook and the meat food (pork) rested. She pet Zoe and said we loved Zoe (not sure who “we” are, but Mom was serious and said it over and over). Zoe really played up her misery, getting lots of good pets and kisses from Mom. That is until she saw her moment to strike – and moving like a lightning flash (or a cobra)- she jumped up, rushed to the counter, slurped up a pork chop off the plate before Mom could even get to her feet. Fortunately, she (Mom) was quick enough to spare the second chop the same fate. Somehow the vegetables remained intact.
Poor Tempi didn’t get any of the meat…sometimes it doesn’t pay to be good.

LOLOL! OMGosh.
there are so Many feelings this evokes. from worried empathy for little Zoe…
then to Shock!!! suddenly enough energy to jump up and Steal a porkchop!!! and then sadness for Scribe Tempe who so gallantly told the whole story! LOL.
one thing for sure. it’s never been a dull moment around there! XOXO
😀
Not even able to lick the bone (under supervision of course)? Poor Tempi.
Yes, poor baby. 🙂
Tempi, your turn will come – we know it!!!
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
🙂
A clever and fast dog, for sure!
😀
one is studious, sits back but does that mean they won – maybe “best behaviour” but is that enough (human terms works on his assignments in the library to all hours of the night) the other more “gonna make the softball team” and is out there at all hours practicing his moves, knowing as Zoe knows “catch ’em out and do it fast”
Zoe is definitely more exuberant and food-oriented. 🙂
What a cute story. I’m sure we can appreciate it more than Tempi though….lol
😀
it is hard to type while laughing. and laugh out loud I DID! this is hilarious. she worked mom like a pro…. poor Tempi, no pork for the good. Tempi you in the chair has my heart melted onto the floor. I talk like that to all our dogs from past and present. good job mom….
I love pictures of Tempi sitting in chairs. And you’re right about Zoe working like a pro. 🙂
Sorry Tempi, but I’m laughing sooooo hard. I wasn’t expecting that!
BTW, I’m loving your ‘authentic voice.’
😀
Tonight I looked around and all the dogs were snoozing.
I went upstairs to take my bath and when I came back down, everyone was up.
I knew something was up. Then I saw the trash bin in the laundryroom laying on its side. There really wasn’t anything worth getting into, I thought. Hmm ?
I picked up the paper towels, etc and then I spied Jimmy under the kitchen table with the empty cat food can that I had shoved deep into the trash.
Arrgggh! He’s 13+ but he’ll always be a (terror) terrier!
;/
Yes. And when they get old sometimes it makes us happy to see they still have it in them. It reminds me of Sammy. 🙂
