Hound Heist: Zzzz

Ladies, I give you props for keeping up with this blogging business everyday.
This job is exhausting.  

I'm off to take a nap.
 Hope you all have a great Thursday and are able to get a nap in.

Hound Heist: The View from Here

Rey guys, hope everyone had a nice weekend!

I know Mama has filled you in on how I'm the neighborhood watch dog.
This is a position I take very seriously I'll have you know.
 But today I thought I would fill you in what that entails and what I see everyday.

During the week, things are pretty slow around these parts and I don't post up until about 6pm, after I've had my walk and dinner.
On these days I usually see my bros from around the 'hood taking their parents on their afternoon walks too.
There's Jack the lab from down the street, Frank the German Shepard from across the street, Holly the beagle from next door (who is ALWAYS barking) and Charlie the Golden Retriever from two doors down.  Charlie is new to the 'hood so I've been helping him get to know everyone.  Mom is always talking about how cute he is.  We get it, he's a puppy, he's cute but what about me?!

And on a realllly lucky afternoon, Pepper walks by.
Pepper is SO pretty and always has bows in her hair.
I ruv her.

Now, weekends, those are really my time to shine.
That is when I see all kinds of action.
 This is when I'm able to catch up with my other dawgs from around the corner.
I have alllll day to sit on my perch and watch every single person and dog come up and down our street.
Dogs out walking their parents, kids on their bikes, people running.
Honestly, it's a lot to keep up with and puts a toll on my neck, but I know it's just part of the job.
What's that thing called...workdogs compensation or something?
I think I need to look into that.

And that's about the extent of what I see.
Mainly because I can't see any further down the street from my seat on the back of the sofa but that's just a minor detail.

Hound Heist: Lovies

Me again, guys!
Don't worry lazy bones Mama, I got it!
Nevermind it takes me about 4 hours to write one post with these chunky paws (lots of back spacing). 

Today I thought we'd talk about my favorite toys.
There's a ranking in my favorite toys but a tie for first place in my heart.
It's a toss up between Dino and NTT (Night Time Teddy).
NTT was the first toy my parents ever bought me and he stays in my house (crate) with me every day.
We've been together for a long time now.
NTT and I do a lot of important business together.
We have weekly meetings, inventory checks and interview potential new crew members.
We also love to rearrange our space and switch up the decor every once in a while.
We are very busy and so tired and snoozing by the time the parents get home in the afternoon.

Dino is my other #1 man.
Dino is the first toy that the Becker's brought me (they came to visit me the second day I was in my new home with Mama and Papa) and he's never left my side either.
Dino has had to go in for some surgeries for a few times, but he's tough.  I am always a very patient parent and wait right by his side while he's getting patched back up. It's been close a few times with amputations but he's got a great doctor and always pulls through.

My other favorite toys are ropes, tennis balls and of course, my chickies.
The chickies and I have become very close.
And, honestly, it's the least they could do after I've saved them all those times.

And those are my favorites!
I'm off to an inventory meeting with NTT!

Hound Heist: Favorite Treats

Herro everybody!
Floyd here today but shhhhh don't tell Mom!!
She claims she's taking a 'blog spring break' but really she's just napping on the couch.
Since she's not keeping up the blog, I figured I would take matters into my own paws.
A good ol fashioned Hound Heist, if you will.
Today I thought we would talk about my favorite subject: treats.
Below are my absolute favorite things to eat (and the quickest way to my heart).

Peanut Butter: I think Mama has told you guys about my peanut butter love obsession.
Have you had it?! It's just the most delicious thing I've ever tasted.
I'm not sure why you humans would eat anything else.
FYI I prefer Skippy Natural.

Treats: Just plain and simple on this one.  I prefer Mama's homemade treats the most.  
These are my favorite.  Mainly because they take a cup of peanut butter in them.  And because Mama makes them in 'F's for me.  I'm very sophisticated and can appreciate a good monogram.
Hey, can't fault a guy for knowing what he likes. 

Chicken: This one too, have you guys had this?!
I'll take it any which way you want to serve it. Just the smell of chicken cues immediate drooling.
I reallllly like the kind they bring home already hot but I'll take boiled as well if we're in a pinch.

Antlers: My bone of choice has always been deer antlers.  I can't ever seem to make much progress with them but I sure do love gnawing on them. 

Popcorn: This one gives PB a run for it's money.
 My aunt Whitney gave me homemade popcorn once and I've been in love ever since. I'll do just about anything for a few kernels.

There you have it!
What are your favorite treats?

I'll be picking up the slack for Mama for the next couple of posts.
Hmrph, at least someone is working around here.
