Most Pathetic Dog Ever

Debbie and I had nothing to do with this, other than to take the picture. It’s not staged at all.

A Wonder Dog and His Toy

Spenser (the wonder dog) gave the stuffed toy my favorite sister-in-law Andrea gave him his bed tonight. Then he lay beside the bed.

You have to know Spenser to appreciate this fully. He loves a soft, cushy place to lay. It implies a disturbing level of self-awareness and empathy. Is our dog really thinking, “I like a soft place to lay, and I like this toy, so I’m going to give the toy the thing I like so the toy can enjoy a nice thing”?

As I said, that’s disturbing.

    Ah, bribery. That’s how Andi made it through the dog sitting. And yes, that is disturbing.

    Actually Cosi did in the dogs’ beloved monkey so she was trying to replace that toy. Our dogs promptly ripped the toys apart (there was a hedgehog too). Lambie has survived. They love Lambie.
