Did you name Cleo after Dan Reeder’s dog? That wheezy basset hound?

My Cleo suggests your Cleo would enjoy a pet machine. That means you
stand legs apart and flap your hands up and down in petting motions, calling “Who wants a pet machine?” as the Cleo passes back and forth, wagging and chuffing in appreciation.

I’m such a sucker for a flop-eared pooch, and I love hearing all your dog tales! Perhaps a Simmer dog biscuit contest in the works.

I have my first stick dog. Always — all previous 11 dogs — were ball dogs, with a Frisbee dog tucked in here and there. Now, we’re pure stick in my household, me and Otter, my 2 1/2 year old very best companion. From a purely human point of view, it might seem that there must be a great deal to say about stick, if all the hours of searching, gnawing, carrying, tossing and chewing again are any indication of devotion, but, as you so aptly point out, dogs don’t blog. Neither do they advertise their pleasures, or brag about their finds. Sigh. We have so much to learn from them.

I love the red collar, such a simple but stunning contrast… she is quite a beauty and so photogenic too!

“Spoonful of prawn-plum mousse”

lol. You always crack me up, without fail. My dog, who hasn’t quite decided where the two human kids reside on the hierarchical totem pole (their status seems to be “tolerated”), has been enjoying the fact that I like to get pork shoulders on the bone. However, she has this misguided notion that the bones are for eating in the living room, and stands on the other side of the door to the deck, bone in mouth, waiting to come in. Granted, eventually bone takes precedence over location location location.

Cleo also has a tongue the color of a watermelon martini. Now I may never drink one again. But if I ever do and need a swizzle stick, at least I know where to find one!
