How Spoiled Are Your Dogs? Pics Added Post 18

Dasher is so spoiled! My brother is here working on mom's computer. He popped a bag of popcorn (one of Dasher's most favorite things) so naturally Dasher proceeded to follow him to the computer. I told Dasher to follow me and I'd pop him some. Otherwise, he'd have been stuck to my bro like glue. So, we're having a snack bag now. I don't give him much at all so it's really a treat. He's on the bed with me with his head propped on my knee. He's so cute. I took a pic with my cell that I'll put up later tonight.
On a side note, I told him yesterday that when I woke up, I'd take off his bite not collar to see how he did. I got home this morning and it was already off. I thought mom had removed it. Well, somehow Houdini Dasher got that thing off without undoing anything! I think it was when he slept on his back. Those straps slip off his elbows really easy.

Mine aren't spoiled at all.

Yeah right.

LOL, too cute. Dasher has you well trained.

I've had very little luck with the bite-not collar. Anvik gets out of it with great ease! It worked better a bit better on Kayleigh.

Dinner time for the dogs is down right embarrasing, I sit in the middle of the couch, casey gets her bowl of kibble to my right, Bubba gets hand fed to my left

Not laughing AT you but WITH you.

I have been known to feed them some kibble on my bed at night if they look hungry. Yep, the bowl gets put down right on my bed.

Val, I had a standard poodle years ago (Whitney) who would sit so patiently and wait for hubby to offer her little pieces of popcorn. She would sit still as a statue and occasionally a little bit of drool would come out while she waited. Never had a dog drool before, except for her.

I love your stories! Glad to know I'm not the only one. I will admit I've never fed him his kibble in bed

Now, he's all stretched out with his head propped on my leg, snoring. I've got one of those memory foam mattress covers to make sure he's extra comfy.

Pam: that is funny!
Caseysmom: You're really well trained
Glacier: I guess he'd just decided he had enough. He's been really good about it. I just hope I don't have to use it again as it might not work.

My life (and hubby's) revolves around these dogs.

But of course they're not spoiled.

Great thread Val.

It was nice of Dasher to save you the trouble of taking the bite not collar off. See he was trying to spoil you by giving you less to do in the morning.

Around here, the only thing more spoiled that the dogs are . . . the CATS!

They are spoiled. Mostly when it comes to treats.

Even though my dogs are always looking for a hand out, there are certain foods which MUST be shared. Popcorn is one of them as well as apples and bananas.

Spoiled? Ours? Never!

Duke and Bull just get to sleep in the bed with their own pillows. Heaven forbid you have adjust or roll over in bed with Bull, he'll groan and grumble forever afterwards.

Same here.

Buddy's favorite was popcorn. Both Smokey & Maggie's is
Ritz crackers. They love them as a night time snack before bed.

spoiled? nawww they arnt spoiled, I mean common the designer collars are manditory, and they obviously need a healthy selection of leashes. a whole cabnet of grooming supplies? well thats just good hygene. a selection of coats and boots? hellooo it gets really cold here! sleeping on my bed? well duh, how else am I supposed to keep warm at night? raw food? what else would I feed them? lol

really though, I think my dad spoils Guinness more then my guys are spoiled, I mean he takes that dogh everywhere, everytime he goes shopping the puppy gets a new toy, he goes to work with my dad, he is the mascot of my dads store, gets to be the finnish line mascot at marathons, when he goes on runs if he gets tired my dad will pick him up and carry him the rest of the way...
