Bored dogs

We all have the same problem..how do we keep our pets entertained while we go to work. Toys and bones you can fill with is one easy idea. I've recently been putting his food, and mix with dog treats in a crumbled paper towel roll. He is smart enough not to bite and swallow the roll though.

 I've also stuffed Kong toys, with peanut butter, hot dog chunks, semi-soft dog treats, canned dog food, etc. He chews and works at it to get the treat out. If you hide these toys, the dog gets to enjoy the hunt and seek for a reward.

However chewing does not alleviate all boredom, so I give him toys to busy him.

Haircut

Summer haircut time!

Tug of war with my sock?

Brushing his own teeth

Oh Donny is growing up so fast! I don't even need to brush his teeth for him.

New level of...well um..I don't know what to call it

Donny wouldn't dare try this in our bathroom! So, Donny goes into my son's bathroom quite often and sniffs the toilet. Well, finally today I caught him licking it. How sick?! So the funny thing is, my son came up with the idea of eating some asparagus and using the bathroom after wards. So then we take Donny back into the bathroom and we observe...but alas no licking. Not sure if he knew we were looking for it, but sure enough he licks once we start to walk away. Oh Donny!

Looking out the window

Why dogs look out the window?
Is it because they run a tight shift as guard dogs, or is there a deeper reason? Well I have some theories:
1. They miss being outside
2. They watch the kids next door play basketball
3. They fantasize "what if" scenarios eg. what if I had a million bones?
4. They wonder how they can catch that pesky cat
5. They wonder if they can drive, they would be able to obtain a million bones
