Golden retriever fest looks like an awesome time. The smiles (human and dog) in those pics are incredible.

We were sitting around the fire at our local brewpub last night with a bunch of strangers, and one lady piped up, "My face hurts from smiling so much today."

Everyone just started laughing and then said, "Mine, too."

I had to go back several times to see if Darlene was the girlfriend or the dog. 

Only one I've ever known was the asst manager at Whataburger when I worked there in the 90s. She was cute, but probably had some recessive genes.

Well, these two ding-dongs dragged a bag of "organic" fertilizer into the house (not sure where they found it) through the dog door and spread it out all over the kitchen to see what they could grow. That was a fun lunch break for dad.

WAY TO GO.

 

Only question I have is in last pic of Darlene is she having her nudes painted by some famous French artist?

Darlene is the most curious "sleep position" dog I've ever known. I should probably post more of it on IG cause....

Yes she falls asleep with her ass on "their" couch and feet on the floor.

She re-arranges the pillows and blanket to match her mood.

She moves the hotel beds around for entertainment and sleeping needs.

Darlene and Valerie and still figuring out their relationship. It's probably a shock to you all but Darlene isn't always super happy about sharing space, attention, toy, bones and food. Shocking!@

TACOMA, WA—Operating on pure natural instinct while leaping into action to protect his beloved owners, heroic dog Snickers saved a local family of five from the threat of an herb-roasted chicken, sources confirmed Wednesday. “It was a close call, but luckily Snickers could sense the golden brown skin of the chicken we’d just roasted for dinner, and his protective nature took over from there,” said Danielle Greco, mother and longtime owner of Snickers, detailing how the 4-year-old terrier mix snapped into action without a moment’s hesitation, quickly neutralizing the threat by clamping his jaws around the chicken’s succulent legs and thighs. “If it weren’t for Snickers, I shudder to think what would have happened to my family. We might have enjoyed a filling meal of carved rotisserie chicken—or worse. Looking back, I can’t believe I ever hesitated to adopt a dog. Snickers isn’t just a part of our family. He’s our protector.” At press time, Snickers had reportedly pounced on a suspicious looking Sara Lee pound cake that the family was on the very brink of enjoying for dessert.

This is Ole (Oh-Lee).  He was named after Olaf, the snowman in the Disney movie Frozen.  I wanted to name him Blanco, but was outvoted….by my granddaughters…I never stood a chance.  Ten years ago, my wife’s consulting job required a fair amount of travel and she was worried about me being at home by myself.  Our three kids were all out of college and lived out of town.  So, she decided we needed a dog. Specifically, I needed a dog for companionship when she was away.  I told her I was fine and didn’t need a dog, but she was undeterred….as wives can be.  Within a week, she goes to a Poodle rescue shelter and brings home Ole.  Don’t let the “Poodle”in Ole or his unassuming appearance fool you.  Ole is fast as shit.  He catches squirrels.  He doesn’t hurt them.  He just wants to play with ‘em and, over time, the squirrels at the Stafford Estate have come to understand that it’s just a game for Ole, so the squirrels play along.   In fact, the squirrels will lie spread eagle on the sidewalk outside the kitchen window waiting for Ole to see them, so he’ll come outside to play.  Over the past several years, my wife has been out of state up to a month at a time to take care of her ailing parents.  I don’t know what I’d do without Ole.

Do you still have the one that was in the background of your food pictures?  

 

she passed suddenly and unexpectedly in October - she was 10.  she still had so much energy when she passed.  it was awful and everything seemed so lonely without her - as all my fellow dog people understand i'm sure.  maybe kai can become the new food picture model.  she is certainly very food motivated.

disclaimer: i was not in involved in this pic of kai getting taken on the 14th, lol:
