Smooch: This is the best bone ever!
Me: Well, technically, it's not a bone. It's a piece of rawhide.
Smooch: Po-tay-to, po-tah-to. Call it what you will. I'm in heaven.
Me: Hon', you've chewed on it long enough for one night. We should save some for tomorrow.
Smooch: You mean I have to put it away now?
Me: Sad but true.
Smooch: Good night, bone. Until we meet again...
Smooch is such a good girl to give up her bone like that. There would be a lot of moaning/groaning from Wally if he was asked to do the same thing!
ReplyDeleteSmooch, I feel your pain. After making a batch of chocolate chip cookies, only to be able to eat JUST one (or maybe two..three), anyway I feel for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat series of pictures, Carson. Good story too.
ReplyDeleteThe weather seems nice at your place. Wish I was there enjoying some of that beautiful sun.
Best always, Sandra
I appreciate Smooch's priorities. :)
ReplyDelete"Parting is such sweet sorry" eh smoochy ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, poor Smooch. She'll appreciate it tomorrow when she has a 'bone' to chew on, instead of nothing.
ReplyDeleteThe last photo is my favorite..what a face :)
ReplyDeletePoor Smooch. It's hard to learn self-control!
ReplyDeleteLove the last shot!
Smooch hass a very expressive face. What a sweet girl!
ReplyDeleteEcstasy, adoration, uh oh, desolation... Smooch needs an Agent!
ReplyDeleteToo cute. I'm smiling.
ReplyDeleteYou ALWAYS make me smile!!!

Hey, is that the chew that Roxy sent? This one actually looks a bit bigger, so I'm thinking no - but isn't it funny how much dogs love these? And what a good girl Smooch is for listening to the voice of reason. It's not at all like this here when it's time for the chew to be put away. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love a dog who is well mannered enough to give up a treat. She may not realize it at the moment but she'll sure be glad to see that bone again on another day.
ReplyDeleteDanni, as a matter of fact that is the chewie that Roxy gave to Smooch. Another reason why we're rationing it - so it reminds us of your kindness that much longer.
ReplyDeletePerfect captions. Love the longing look in that last one. I recognize that!
ReplyDeleteWow-Smooch is very disciplined to just chew a little every night...not! I'll bet if she had her way she'd finish it all in one go just :) It's okay Smooch...I would eat an entire batch of cookies if someone gave them to me!
ReplyDeleteSmooch is such a good girl. And, beautiful too. Gotta watch your figure, sweetie. Too much of a good thing, and all that.
ReplyDeleteDarling Smooch...sweet pup!
