I thought I’d just write a fun post about something I like to do for a change…and that would be spending time in the kitchen… LOTS of time… looking in the kitchen cabinet, watching for mice. Mice have come and literally stolen food out of my food dish right in front of me then run under the oven so I can’t get them, so I’ve started taking matters into my own paws, and insist that my owners leave the door open all night long.
In fact, they were feeling sorry for me because I’d lay on the very cold floor (they keep it cold around here) and so now they even park my bed in front of the cabinet before they go to bed. I’d like to think it’s because they are being nice, but have a feeling it’s because they know I’ll have a barking fit if they don’t, works every time>:-)<
Unfortunately, since I’ve started doing this, we haven’t had any mice, guess that means I’m doing a good job, but to tell the truth, it’s no fun if there isn’t a mouse every now and then. Okay, here I go, back to my post at the cabinet again!
If you know anything about yorkies, you know we are lap dogs. That means that we like to sit on our owner’s laps sometimes. But my owner has this thing called a laptop on her lap instead of me a lot more than I like. I don’t know why she likes this thing on her lap, it’s not soft and fuzzy like me. I bet if it could talk it would say things like:
I’m a Compaq computer, one of many kinds of computers offered by Hewlett-Packard.
I’m a little over 2 years old, and am used many hours each day for work and fun.
Except for my number 4 key, which needs a little extra pressure to work, my keyboard is in pretty good shape.
I get a little hot, but that just keeps my owner warm during the cold winter months.
I have Windows Vista Basic because my owner just does basic things with me, not as powerful as computers like the HP HDX.
I’m in pretty good shape, and know that if my owner ever got another computer, it would definitely be from Hewlett-Packard because I get to sit on her lap more than the cute little yorkie that lives here most days and she likes all my special features that she can’t find on computers made by other manufacturers.
So there you have it, the arrogant little computer is getting more attention than I am these days. Maybe if I tell you about the following deal, the laptop will be happy and give me a turn on my owners lap:
Get $500 off instantly when you purchase an HP HDX 16t with $300 coupon code NBN3248 + $200 Instant Rebate.
Valid through 8/23 or while supplies last. Restrictions and exclusions apply.
There, I’ve said it, and…well…the computer is still on her lap.
Does your dog come to you and just sit there and stare at you, wanting something, but you’re not quite sure what it is that they want? Does your dog want to jump up on your lap when you are really tired and need a nap? How about those times when they want to play with toys, but you just aren’t in the mood. As a dog, I can tell you that saying “no” or “go away” can hurt my feelings, I don’t like it very much, but understand that people can’t play with me 24-7 like I want. The person in the following video seems to be able to keep their dog away with a phone! Hope you enjoy>:-)<
Here is a cute video of pictures that we found. I know I’ve seen some of them before in emails, but not all…and the one with the dogs in the bubble bath, how did they get them to do that?? Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
Here is a funny email that we got from a friend…at least humans think it’s funny, I’m still trying to decide, what do you think?
Dear God, Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?
Dear God: When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch?
Dear God: Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We do love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the “Chrysler Eagle” the “Chrysler Beagle”?
Dear God: If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?
Dear God: We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID’s, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?
Dear God: More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
Dear God: Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
Dear God: Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good dog.
The sofa is not a ‘face towel’.
The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
I will not play tug-of-war with Dad’s underwear when he’s on the toilet.
I don’t need to suddenly stand straight up when I’m under the coffee table.
I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the he house – not after.
I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt.
I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch.
The cat is not a ‘squeaky toy’ so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it’s usually not a good thing.
Okay, so humans think these things are pretty funny, ’cause my owners were laughing, but they seem like normal questions and things to me.
