This morning I got up at the usual time and went outside to take care of some early morning business and it is cold. I mean I have a pretty thick layer of fur this time of year but jeez it was freezing out there. I ground was so cold it hurt my feet. It is nice and warm inside the house, sometimes I can even find a blanket to lay under. I wonder if I could find one to take outside.
I have a life jacket I wonder if mom would put that on and it might keep me warmer outside. When it is warmer I like to go outside and play ball and eat. There are some many good thing to eat outside. Skylar keeps telling me that plums, pears and apples aren't for dogs but they taste so good and they are just laying on the ground. Now that it is cold I am having trouble find extra food outside or maybe Skylar is just getting better at picking it all up.
I guess I will have to look for extra stuff to eat inside. Don't get me wrong I love my kibble and get it twice a day with assorted treats throughout but I just love to eat. Last week after everyone was gone from the kitchen I smelled this wonderful, delicious smell. So I reached up on the counter, which is harder than you think for a dog with a bum back leg, and got it. Oh it was soooo good at first, there was cheese and chicken, yummy!! Then after I had finished it my mouth started to burn and my stomach didn't feel very good. That food came back and mom laughed at me. She told me that's what I get for eating super spicy chicken alfredo pizza. She said she wasn't surprised because even Hunter only ate a piece and half of the pizza and that kid can put away some food.
Today there is nothing out on the counter, I checked the trash last night and there was nothing good there either. I guess I will just have to wait until breakfast is over and see if there is anything under the table. They don't really ever leave me much, unless it is veggies and then I get a special treat.
So as the weather gets colder and it is time to enjoy more indoor pursuits, I am finding more stuff to do. What are you doing inside this winter?
Hi JR-I search for food all the time too, but not much to be had. But here's a trick: sit at their feet under the table (if you're allowed) while they're eating - they usually drop something:-)
