Many of you do not wish to be bothered with reading my three brilliant posts about brains and how they work and whether or not they are changing as we evolve because there are just so many words and no funny pictures at all. And forcing your brain to think about itself and other brains when it doesn’t want to can be painful for both of you. I can respect that. I can relate to it. My brain absolutely refuses to think about stuff it doesn’t want to think about… and many things that it does want to think about. But I still feel an obligation to entertain you while you are so busy not reading the posts.
So I have some pictures of dogs for you. This will not overheat your brain in any way, shape or form. We were dog-sitting Riley for the last few days. Riley belongs to my wife’s aunt and uncle. And she is our dog’s best dog buddy in the whole world.
Here are Riley and Shiloh just relaxing in the sun…
That’s Riley on the left. Shiloh is on the right.
Now here they are two minutes later…
They are both sweet, nonaggressive dogs. But they gnaw on each other like wild wolf pups. And sometimes, when I look at them playing like this, I can really see the wolves that they are descended from…
Look at those teeth. And they chew on one another’s faces like they are rawhide bones…
And they seem to enjoy the way their faces taste…
yummmm… face…
Just to mix it up a little, they might try a game of tug-of-war…
They are so cute together…
But they like to shake the rope so hard that it looks as if their faces might just fly right off…
They play until they can’t play any more, and then they take a nap…
These naps can end suddenly. If one of them moves, the other thinks it is play time again and it starts all over. But when they are just plain exhausted, they like to snuggle up like little puppies…
And it really is just too adorable…
Oh, and did I mention that our dog likes to sleep on her back?
Dogs are weird.
Pouring My Art Out 
Awwww Cute
Except those pictures of the teeth are a little freaky…
No it is cute…
Teeth that wouldn’t hurt you is sweet.
Good point
Those teeth! Cat still rule though
I like cats too. I have had lots of cats and only a couple dogs. But I meet a lot of cool dogs. Dogs love me… and babies love me…
But babies just grow up.
I find new ones to play with. They self-replicate.
Sounds very sci-fi
Unfortunately stupid people do it faster than smart ones. This does not bode well for the future.
So I guess you saw the blonde on YouTube
also? Do Dogs Have Brains? How cool… 🙂
I missed that. They have enough brains to never have to hunt their own food.
I will have to send you a link for that video and I know for sure that you won’t be able to keep your eyes off them, I mean off it, I mean off the video 🙂 lmao
ok
I have added the video in my extra pages (In the Header) so call by and watch it 🙂 Well I only said…
It is called…
Do Dogs Even Have Brains? 🙂
Andro
I will try to get to that tonight.
Yes okay, it is a worthy view, so
be prepared to enjoy the scenery 🙂 lol
Andro
Holy crap… can she even walk if you tell her to???
That’s a possibility, well maybe not as she could be a little top heavy but I like her a lot, her videos are awesome don’t you think?
Oh and especially the How to Eat a Banana one, that is worth a view my fine friend 🙂
Have fun today 🙂
I’m not sure I could make it through that one.
Try it, you might even like it 🙂 lol
She scares me… she might make little hers…
It is a risk worth taking, go for it…
But it makes me lose all hop for the future of the human race…
Be Brave Tony…
What is up with the Tony thing??? And I spelled hope wrong…
Someone called you Tony
so I was being supportive 🙂 lol
I saw that too, but I think his name was Tony… maybe… or maybe mine is now… who knows?
I need some spectacles…
Are you sure his name was Tony?
It was like he added it at the end… like signing off…
Ahhhhhh got it, I thought I was losing my
marbles then, but I forgot I lost them years ago 🙂 lol
They tend to roll away. They have round backs… and fronts… and sides…
There is a backside in there somewhere too…
Marble got back!
And fronts and sides…
Cute…the way they play with each other freaks me.out. it is almost like they want to.maim one another.
Yes. It. is. interesting. to. watch. Why. are. we. using. gratuitous. periods?… .. .
Dogs can be nice to have around… when they’re not conspiring against the government or plotting your demise.
Everything has its downside.
Such free spirits and cuties, I love animals, they just are what they are! (=
They am what they am and that’s all what they am.
ah but do they eat spinach, too. Toot, Toot
They shouldn’t… or else they do toot… ha!!!!!
That’s probably true, Popeye probably wouldn’t want to share his spinach anyways, (=
I don’t know, he seemed like a good guy… he was always trying to get kids to eat it.
My Bandit liked to sleep on his back too! In the later stages of his life we allowed him to sleep on the bed with us. He would go to bed with the first of us & take over the whole other side. Then when the other person wanted to come to bed he wouldn’t stir. Not in a mean way, he’d just look at you with his big eyes & plead with you not to disturb him. Once you finally got into the bed, he would take up the whole bottom of the bed by sleeping between us on an angle. But not too far down because he liked to sleep on his back & didn’t want to roll off the bed.
We have had cats and dogs that like to sleep touching both people in the bed. We called it ‘plugging in’…
Vampire Dog in bed with you… I knew it. You will soon be faceless and um… sterile.
Well… one less meal I have to buy for my dog… how’s that for looking on the bright side?
There you go. I like how you can see the positive in dire situations!
It’s a gift.
I know!!!
I do too.
Are you sure about that?
I’m not sure about anything.
And really, once my face is gone, what are the odds that anyone is going to want to use me for breeding purposes?
You’d be surprised. There are some sicko’s in this country…
I will bear that in mind.
You have bears in your mind? I thought they were squirrels…
Crack bears would be too much.
You would think…
No I wouldn’t…
Yeah… you say that now…
I said that a few minutes ago…
But it will make using my aftershave very painful… and shaving too, I guess…
Would there really be a need to shave? Speaking of shaving… oh. Nevermind.
Some things are better left to the imagination.
Like what?
Imagine the answer
Are you sure you want ME to do that?
I can’t stop you.
Dogs are weird? Humans are weird! Who said, hey look at those, we should domesticate them and teach them to live in our houses with us, lick our faces, smell our crotches… Isn’t that cute.
It is sort of a weird series of improbable events…
Kind of like – who was the first person to say, hey I bet if we smoked that it would be pretty awesome, or, hey I bet if we drank what came out of that creature’s utter things it would taste pretty good, or…
Dude… you are freaking me out… I always wonder about the first people who did stuff, and in my first novel I mention my theory that aliens aren’t coming to this planet because we keep other mammals hostage and drink their milk…
I’ve never much cared for ‘dogs’, though I have on occasion fallen in love with ‘a particular dog’. I much prefer cats. Cats deserve noms because they’re cats. The dogs I have come to love deserve noms because I have come to love them as individuals, but cats don’t have to work that hard with me to deserve noms. I like the challenge, I suppose, of earning a cat’s affection every day, while with dogs, you earn it once and, unless you do something to lose it, they’ll still love you forever if you only just pay a little attention to them. Cats must be wooed continually if you expect them to keep liking you. It helps in maintaining a relationship with people, too.
However, as dogs go, your Shiloh looks lovely, and sounds quite adorable! I’m sure Riley is, as well. 😀
Cats don’t have owners. They own their hoomins. And if noms aren’t given freely, beware the cats vengeance! Cats are also mysterious and sophisticated while most dogs… aren’t… I agree, I have a few doggie buddies but I much prefer cats. Plus cats are independent and self-sufficient if need be =^..^=
And most cats don’t poop on your carpet when someone rings your doorbell. Our chihuahua is three years old now, and just the sweetest thing, not at all what you’d expect from a 76% chihuahua (we don’t know what the other quarter is, but it must be a sweet-natured breed), and she’s usually pretty good about going outside or on the piddle pad, but sometimes she just gets so excited, we suppose, that she just pops one out wherever she is. Ewww. But the cat loves her anyway, and so do we. 🙂
Yes, we have a similar pup. My daughter’s boyfriend got it for her birthday. IzzyBella is a King Charles Spaniel/Shihtzu mix. Boy is she a handful. She piddles outside now but occasionally will still drop a bomb in my daughter’s room. And my daughter goes off to college next year… sigh.
So instead of talking about the human brain on my brilliant posts about that, we are going to discuss pet potty training?
Yes. Actually I’ve been away so I haven’t even read the brainblogs yet. I take a vacation from all electronic devices around once a month for a few days. Did you miss me?
I did actually. I thought you had finally caught on to what a trap for the unwary this blog really is.
I’m a master at turning a trap around on the person who sets the trap.
I am sure it is comforting to be able to look at it that way.
I know… you’re jealous. It’s okay. Not everyone can do what I do.
No… they can’t…
😉
I have had cats that do that and worse than that.
umm, that’s 75%, obviously. I’m on my netbook with a crappy keyboard.
76% actually sounds impressive 😉
I don’t set the bar that high… If I did, we would be talking about brains and not bodily waste from animals…
Brain talk is soon to come. I happen to know a lot more than most people about brains.
That sounds almost like a threat.
No… it’s just because I’ve done so much research. I learned as much as I could in the 2 weeks before my first brain surgery and even more before the second one.
Well if you actually know stuff I might disqualify you from the conversation… this is for people who think they know stuff, or just think up new stuff… we don’t want to pollute the conversation with actual knowledge…
You’re always trying to disqualify me from the discussions… 😦
Stop knowing so much stuff.
I can’t help it!!! MY brain is an information sponge.
It is some kind of sponge.
You know all about sponges, don’t you…
I watch Sponge Bob.
Or maybe they left one in there during the surgery… HA!
Well, I’m not complaining! I like being smarter, funnier and wittier than you! HA!
Sponges are the dirtiest things in your house… HA!!! Oh man, I kill me.
Nothing on this blog is ever 75% obvious!!!
If cats were bigger they would eat us.
Yes maybe. But they aren’t. I’m much safer with my cat than you are with your Vampire Dog…
Yeah… we’ll see…
I like cats too… and monkeys..
Your monkey…
careful now…
What??? I’m always careful!
No you aren’t…
Says who?
You do…
I never!
almost always
Never ever.
Now and then.
Don’t you mean Now and Later?
Possibly…
I think you do. I’ve gotten inside your head, huh…
Why would you want to do that???
My cat sleeps on her back with her legs in the air. Too funny.
Lots of cats seem to sleep that way. But my dog has a big chest and is narrow with a round back. I don’t even see how she does it. Sometimes she uses a wall or something else to prop her legs up.
I had a girlfriend like that once 🙂 lmao
I bet you did…
Her back wasn’t round but her front had two rather large… Never mind
Moving on now…
Good…
I try to be…
Me too…
Those buddies look like litter mates. Love how they play together! My yellow lab Daisy sleeps on her back with her paws up and her fangs out. Dogs are most definitely weird, which is why I’m a dog person, and presumably why you are one, too.
I likes me some dogs!
Vampire dogs. Halloween is coming up… if your blog suddenly becomes silent, we will know your fate… unless Shiloh only eats your face off… you might be able to survive…
I could live without a face… I don’t do much with it now. I would just Photoshop myself a better one.
Unless they eat your eyeballs…
That might present a problem…
Yep. Well, it’s been nice reading your blog. Write as much for us as you can before the 31st… after that you may never post again 😦
My garlic aftershave will keep them away…
I don’t think the garlic trick works on vampire DOGS… only regular vampires… nice try though
I will just feed them steak… ha!
Obviously that won’t work… they want face, remember?
Why are you trying to make me paranoid???
What are you talking about?
Who said that???
The One.
stop it
It’s not like I’m implying that Vampire Dogs could eat your face at any moment, like in your sleep or something. Oh. Wait…
You know I have inner voices for this, right?
Yes. They converse with my inner voices.
Then they should be telling you to stop.
No… they are actually enjoying each other’s company.
Then that should keep them busy.
They are plotting something this very second…
I knew it.
Did you now?
Yes I did.
Then tell me what they are up to…
Oh I think you know.
Oh I meant to ask… where does Vampiroh… er I mean, Shiloh sleep at night?
In my nightmares…
Oh it will be okay… unless… has Vamp… uh… Shiloh ever licked your face?
She sniffs my crotch too… what’s your point…
Oh boy. Okay maybe it won’t just be your face that ends up missing… one dog to another, so to speak…
I really think I have more to worry about in the world than my dog.
Wait… you have garlic aftershave???
Oh yeah.
Interesting. What’s it called?
It’s called ‘Get Outa My Face
Nice! For the times when you want to be anti-social!
Keeps me out of temptation.
Unless the tempter/temptress happens to love garlic…
Then we can just go out for Italian food… I do think these things through you know.
Are you buying?
I usually am.
Then I’m in!
ok
Really.
sure
Awwww
wwwwA
Jajaja
jar jar binks
I think they are simple…. Maybe it’s just because I am more involved with humans. And compared to them, dogs are ……
Some dogs are smarter and deeper than some humans I have met.
Hmmm. Sad I have to ignorantly agree with you on that.
It never pays to rush into a conversation with me… uh… I mean… um…
Dogs get stats….
Great dog buddies!
Gotta play to the stats… stat!
Adorable!
Thanks… oh… you mean the dogs, don’t you?
lol
