Happy Human, Pouting Pups

"What do you mean that box doesn't contain dog treats?"

Barnum looked a bit disturbed as I opened the medium-sized box that just arrived this afternoon and pulled out... books. Nice, non-edible (he's not a puppy, after all!) books.

Jill just rolled her eyes from her spot in the corner. For this she came back inside? She had been excited to see the delivery guy with the box, because, obviously, that meant that there had to be something for her. Right?

Despite the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the pups, the human was happy. Books may not constitute a treat for the pups, but they certainly are a treat for the pups' mommy.

I am looking forward to having a chance to read the David Rosenfelt books that I won in the Dog Lovers' Fiction Giveaway.

Woo hoo! That is awesome you got your books! I'm still waiting for my books from the fun fiction book giveaway myself.

I'm looking forward to having a chance to sit down and read them. Since dogs are so key to the stories, I may even have to read portions aloud to my pups. :-)

I love to prop up in bed and pet my dog, Josh, while I read. Peace, serenity.

That sounds very relaxing. Comfy spot, good pup and an interesting book... That is definitely a bit of the good life.

My poor dogs have been going into dog treat withdrawals. I ran out and haven't gotten anymore. I really should make them from scratch.

Heather ~of the Whippets~ M. Aug 14, 2009, 8:58pm EDT

No treats? And there hasn't been a riot? Your dogs must be a lot more easygoing about the treat thing than mine.

LOL! We tire 'em out on walks and they forget all about them.

My whippets have me trained. I might get by for much of the day without treats, but there must be a treat after the last potty trip of the night. And, if my older pup needs an extra "last" potty trip, there is the expectation of another round of treats.

Heather ~of the Whippets~ M. Aug 14, 2009, 9:17pm EDT

Not that I'm well-trained or anything...

LOL!

Love your title by the way. Very catchy :0}

Such spoiled pups!! That is one thing Rocky & Beau don't look for because I've never sent any treats for them.

congratulations on the books!

I generally don't order treats; I usually go into the store and buy them. My one friend sends treats, though, so they like to think that boxes mean treats for them.
