Dogs on Thursday

Happy Dogs on Thursday from Emma, Tara and Cooper. It's only a little after noon, but it has been a roller coaster of a day so far. For the dogs, that is. I'm having a great day! I'm off work, and I got to see one of my favorite people. That person is, unfortunately for the dogs, my Vet!

Here is how the dogs' day has gone so far, according to Emma:

Good: Breakfast, chased chickens, had a little nap.

Good: Tara and I got to go for a ride in the car, and got to leave that stupid boy Cooper behind!!!
Bad (for Cooper): Cooper was left behind.

Good: After about 5 minutes of barking at the door, Cooper forgets what he is barking about and takes a nap. "Dumb as a Bag of Hammers" isn't always a bad thing.

Good: The car pulls into a Dunkin Donuts and the nice man at the window gives us a bag of bagels and muffins.Bad: The bagels and muffins are not for us.

Bad: The car pulls into the evil Vee-Eee-Tee's parking lot.

Bad: Mommy makes us enter the evil Vee-Eee-Tee's office.

Bad: Mommy gives them the bag of bagels and muffins. She tells them it is an apology in advance for our bad behavior.

Good: They accepted the bribe, so we get to act as bad as we want.

Bad: A gigantic Bull Mastiff named "Spartacus" comes over and sits down next to us.

Badder: Spartacus growls at us.

Good: I give Spartacus the evil eye, and he stops growling.

Bad: Spartacus tells me he likes a girl with an attitude. I think Spartacus he is having lustful thoughts.

Good: They call our names and we get to go into the torture chamber.

Bad: They call our names and we get to go into the torture chamber.

Good: Our Nanny is here, and she makes a big fuss over us and tells us how sweet we are. Yeah...tell me something I don't know!

Bad: The Evil Vee-Eee-Tee is here.

Good: Mommy distracts the Vee-Eee-Tee with a hug and a kiss. Maybe we can sneak out without him noticing us.

Bad: We weren't able to sneak out.

Badder: Evil Vee-Eee-Tee pokes and prods us, and listens to our heart and tummy, then gives us two (COUNT 'EM--TWO!!!) needles. The indignity of it all!

Good: He tells us we are gorgeous specimens and perfectly healthy. Again, tell us something we don't know, right?!

Gooder: We break out of the torture chamber, and finally get to leave! Yipee!

Gooder: We go for another car ride!

Goodest: We are rewarded with Lemon Cake when we get home!

Tara says "Mmmmmm, lemon cake!"
Emma says, "Give me that lemon cake right now or I will bite your finger off at the knuckle and people will forever call you 'Stubby'!"

Cooper says "Lemon cake, lemon cake, lemon cake."

Not much going on in that boy's brain, but he loves his lemon cake!
