I forgot to share Phod's mischief yesterday. My parents have their deck gated so their pups can go out and enjoy the sun (there yard is not fenced). Phod figured out that the gate at the bottom of a set of stairs was jumpable and he jumped over it and took himself for a swim at the lake. (The deck is out front and from it you can see the lake from it). Steps have been taken to block the stairs so others can enjoy the deck without us worrying about someone jumping.

| Chew time |
Part of Tendra and Barley's after dinner routine consists of having a kong followed by having a chew. Phod is refusing to eat his kong at this house (he doesn't love them at our house, but will eat them). I assume it is because we use different peanut butter at home. Tendra is loving having 2 kongs a night. Historically, Phod has not enjoyed raw hide either (he is a really picky eater), but Sunday night he stole part of Tendra's and chewed it a bit. When given his own Monday, he wouldn't eat it. He is a silly boy.
Night Two, Phod only slept with me about half the night and around 2 am decided to go back to his own bed (which I brought with me). I must admit, while I love the snuggles, I do enjoy the leg room when he is on the floor.
Yesterday was my whole day away to visit my grandmother. How was my boy while I was out? As you can see from these pictures, he was very stressed:)

Note Barley in the background and yes my parents bought a couch to match the dog! |
Ha ha we can see just how stressed out Phod was. We are pleased as at least you know you can be out and about without worrying. Nice one. Have a terrific Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
saving up his energy for another day .....he looks happy just chillin
ReplyDeleteNice High Jumpin to enjoy a good cool down in da lake. I can't jump dat high. Sometimes it's a real drag being short.
ReplyDeleteI see you stress out like I do when Mom leaves. hehehe

Phod you left you partner in crime behind, probably much better for Hailey to stay with Dad. You definitely look all stressed out but I am sure sneaking a swim in a lake can do that to a dog. It is great that you could go and see family.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend

Oh my Phod you took a swim!! That's so funny but you better not swim without an adult present

It's great that your parents get along so well with the dogs.
ReplyDeleteHey PHOD.... did you make SURE to wait 87 minutes after eating before you took your JUMP to the Lake?
ReplyDeleteLooking good there, not stressed at all!!!
ReplyDeleteNow I only garden for foodables!!!!! Something we can eat!!! LOL
Sleeping with kitty Madi on the bed was hard on the legs too. She liked to get in between one person's legs..pinning you into that position and of course becomes upset should you try to move.
ReplyDeleteThankfully as she aged she came to love her own space
Hugs madi and mom
Monty only wants chewies if they belong to someone else.

Sometimes a guy just needs to go for a swim!
ReplyDeleteMom says she wishes she could be that stressed most days...

Dear Phod,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, nice job on the Great Escape to the Lake! Sounds like fun! Secondly, someone else's rawhide is always better than ones own rawhide, no? Ojo and I often switch!
Happy continuing vacation!

We are so glad Phod seems to be fitting in!
ReplyDeleteSmileys!

Looking cozy, handsome boy!

I love that your folks bought the couch to match the dog - my kind of people!!
ReplyDeleteBuying a couch to match the dog is smart in my book! Mabel used to always sleep when I left her...I think that is their way of dealing with stress!
ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't take it too hard that Phod was so (not) stressed without you, and doesn't want to sleep with you all night! I always feel disappointed when Luke chooses to sleep on the floor, but , yup, as soon as he comes up and hogs the bed I wonder why! :)
