When you get to be a really, really old dog, you have to do things a little different. You might prefer a super fluffy bed to the hard floor. You might want your meals warm and soft instead of that hard dry crap. You might need to sleep 23 1/2 hours a day, after all you are retired now. And when you sleep most of the day, are deaf, and have cataracts, you may want to hide your bone in a really good place so that other dog cant get it.
That's a good hiding place if I ever saw one!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what else is in there?
DeleteSuch a sweet girl! Although...in the world of "doggie butt sniffing", she might not get to keep that bone as long as she thinks. ;)
ReplyDeleteHa, maybe that is why it is there. The other dog can smell it but cant have it. Pure torture.
DeleteMy guess would be that she's masking the bone scent with some noxious gas. That's how our senior boy gets whole rooms to himself.
Deletehaha!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know how it is
DeleteHA!
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteSo, since hubby is retired, does that mean he should get away with a daily nap?? Cuz, he's trying!
Mine is not retired, and still tries for that nap too. You know, just resting his eyes.
DeleteOR . . . since you're a really, really old doggie, you may have had the bone in your mouth when you went to lie on your comfy bed to take a nap and when you turned around (slowly) three times before lying down (slowly), the bone may have dropped out of your mouth and you didn't even notice it. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSue, he can take a daily nap but don't let him take his snack with him.
Mama Pea, the days of turning around are over and it is much more of a get in the bed and flop. So anything that happens to be under her at the time would get flopped upon. Once my Husband spent hours looking for his cell phone thinking the worst since when he would call it, there was no ringing to be heard. Much later the old girl gets up and much like she had laid an egg, there is the phone. I guess it could not get a signal under her.
DeleteDogs are not dumb!
ReplyDeleteWe could all learn a little something from them. Like enjoy life and nap often.
Deleteha! so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteThat is great! Dogs can be our best friends, protectors, playmates and I knew they were very smart but what!!!!! That is way to wise. A picture is worth a thousand words and this is one of those pics. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThanks, those animals do keep me in laughs throughout the day. You just never know what they will do.
DeleteOhhh what a lovely post. For all of us that have had wonderful, yet elderly four legged companions-we understand!!
ReplyDeleteJennifer
Humble wife, I have always felt that is the flaw of the dog, that they only get to live such a short time.
DeleteWhat words of wisdom!
ReplyDeleteAnd an interesting hiding place at that!
CR, but may I suggest that we humans dont try it, I think it would have very different results ;)
ReplyDeleteI personally hide all my best treasures in the same spot. Works like magic to keep thieves at bay
ReplyDeleteDonna, I imagine it would! But how do you handle the large items, like Grandmas clock ;)
DeleteHah!
DeleteYou know, when you need to hang onto something, you just need to hang on tight, however that might be. I remember my mom telling of when we were little, my sister needed to go to the bathroom, but didn't want to put down her very favorite purse in case one of us would take it. Mom walks down the hallway to see Linda hanging onto the pot with her hands, and the purse was in her mouth. It worked!!

Lori, that is such a cute story. And as a BIG purse lover, I can so sympathize with your sister ;)
DeleteFunny!! Yep, I do believe animals are smarter and more clever than we humans think! : )
ReplyDeleteCharlie B, and I think they can use mind control to make me give them more treats. Just sayin ;)
DeleteLOL! When we retire, If we guy's have to use that spot to hide things, no wonder OLD GUY"S MOVE SO SLOWLY"! Not to mention the stooped posture! Oh my aching back!
ReplyDeleteTom HA!, now that is funny. I will never be able to look at a shuffling old man again without breaking into a laugh.
DeleteThat is just the cutest thing. I love old dogs - there is such a wonderful aura about them. Not to mention using all that knowledge and wisdom to use the perfect hiding place for precious objects. Old sweetie.
ReplyDeletep.s. OMG! I can post a comment!
Susan, welcome back! And they use the knowledge and wisdom to get us to do the things THEY want. Sly doggies.
DeleteGirls are so sly,they know the best spots
ReplyDeleteHa, I guess they do.
DeleteDarn right - she can do anything she pleases at this point! Dogs add so much to our lives, I'm glad she's enjoying her retirement with a family that loves her :)
ReplyDeleteErin, you dont know how right you are. There is nothing she does that I can tell her no. She cant hear me for one, but how do you punish such a pathetic looking pup?
DeleteClever clever clever. Hey what ever works!
