Howard's in Fido Friendly!

Yay, Howard!! Yay, Rose!!

Ack to the name spelling checker person ... :Smack:

But congrats! It's still sooo cool to have that copy in your hands, huh??

Lol, Mac. We used to have a dog that brought home everything the neighbors didn't tie down, like saddle blankets, boots, dog food bags and bowls, etc. Good luck catching your escape artist/thief!

Cool, Rose, that Howard's picture is in the article, too! That's really awesome.
Sorry they spelled your name wrong, though. That is a bummer.

It gets sadder. We also had to make weekly trips around the neighborhood returning all the dog toys that our collector brought home. When I think about those poor pooches without their toys...sigh.

I wonder if the folks who eventually begged us until we let him go home with them ever had to apologize to their neighbors. Boy, I hope so!! hehehe. But hey, it's great story fodder.

Pumpkin and apple pies. Who knew they were doggie favs? lol

Shadow

Think Shadow has everyone beat--he's the turkey-eating lab of my family. Ate the whole turkey raw (think I mentioned this in another thread . . . ) after he opened the refrigerator. Next day (didn't mention this part) he jumped the fence, knocked over the neighbor's garbadge can and ate their turkey neck, heart and gizzard. How do I know? He came in and promptly threw it up on the new living room carpet.
Heh. Love that dog. They aren't any fun if they are totally good, are they?
I am happy for you and Howard! Don't sweat the name thing---you'll have plenty more at the rate you are going!

Oh, Cate, how special! Bless his widdle doggie heart.

My little bread thief

And I thought my 25 lb marshmallow cat Max is bad ; every time I leave the bread or bagels out he takes a large bite, even if the meat is right beside. Sigh!

PS: Congratulations Rose and Howard ! Many more to come we hope.

A 25 pound cat? Now that's a lotta cat! lol

Max, My Marshmallow

Yeah, Max is one of a kind, that's for sure. You should see the looks he gives the dogs who live upstairs We live in a basement suite, and our upstairs neighbours have three dogs; two fox terriers and a large lab/Australian healer cross. The other day everyone was in the yard when Max came around the corner of the house in to the yard. Tally (the lab/healer) bounced up to him with and "asked" him to play. Max looked at him with distain, "I am a cat, I don't play with mere dogs." Tally tried to convince him a few more times to play with her, then Max, without so much as backward look, walked right past everyone in the back door, while Tally still tried to figure out what she had done wrong. Poor Tally!

Of course, all three of our cats know that they own us, but we wouldn't have it any other way

Chacounne

Oh, that's too funny. Cats are just born with gigantic attitudes, aren't they? And woe to the poor dogs who fail to realize that!

Rose! I saw a copy of Fido Friendly at a newstand yesterday! Your story was great, and boy, is that Howard photogenic. Thanks for telling us about it.

Boy, I'm glad I didn't have a mouthful of diet Dr. Pepper because it would have ended up spewed all over the computer screen when I read your post! I can just see Howard in his shamrock antennas. Glad you got him home safely!

hehehehe......

Well I like dogs too.

I liked the comment about the dog getting the dog food dish. Dogs are like that and I found a way to get them to eat dog food and you put the food in the trash can and say to them. "Now don't be eating out of the trash." Sit back and watch and see if they don't do it. I have a dog that grins at you and acts really silly if he thinks he is in trouble. He curls his lips back and pokes out his tongue because he watched me put in my false teeth as a puppy. I have another one that gets real pissed off when you spray him for fleas. Dogs are something and so are cats.
