Oh, make no mistake, we have milk bones here as well. Among other things. We could probably restock the local Pet's Mart. Pound cake, though, is probably his all time favorite. We just have the one pup. Been thinking about getting him a friend, but it's a big step.

I had two of the best dogs in the World and one an amazingly intelligent German Shepard, but when they died within a week of each other, I was lost.

So ST loaned me her little dog, lovable and cute, but I'm a big dog kind of guy, so we got a wolf mix at the shelter (dumber than a bag of air.
Then we got a mutt off of Craigs list, sweet but always getting into trouble running off.

I love them, but I miss smart dogs, God knows I have little patience, so he gave me stupid. :D

You are referring to the dogs right... :)   Actually Libby is really smart...

:-*
Yes Libby is sweet and smart, but depressed with an attitude and small...
Did I mention small? You know, like bait in the forest small, cats beat up on, small.
Mice never run from, kind of small, tennis balls are a challenge, kind of small, wind can be an issue, kind of small.
Looks like a dirty sock on the floor and gets stepped on, kind of small.

Did I mention small?

But, yes, I love the little shit...

Did I mention small?

So how big is your small dog.  :P

I would love the pound cake recipe.  I make peanut butter poppers (with bacon).  Those are a big hit with ours. 

We too buy a lot of things for our dogs.  Waggin Tails Chicken tenders (also known here as puppy crack), Busy Bones and Chewnola for the big dog.  Everyone gets a bedtime treat. :) :)

Bear gets treats when he get's up, whatever he can mooch during the day, and treats after suppa.

He is known by several aliases, Rocket, Pup, Bear, Brown, Bub, Bubba, Goofy, Clown, Nutcake.



He was not quite 2 years in that photo, but he is considerably bigger now. Probably 120-125 pounds.

Good looking dog you have there Shooterman.   Ours also get whatever they can convince Solar to give them from his plate during the day.... :)

He has that look of "throw the ball"throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ball, pant...pant...

OK I got a drink...throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ball, throw the ball,

pant pant........

Nope, he likes to chase almost anything thrown for a time or two, then when he decides he couldn't care less for the object, he simply ignores it. Now a tug of war with Dad is a different thing; "If you want this kitchen towel I just stole, ( or one of my shoes, and/or anything he shouldn't have ) then make me give it to you." He also loves to have me hold his chewing antlers while he gnaws it and sharpens his teeth. When he gets tired of one tine, he'll switch it around until he finds the one he wants. ( BTW, an old deer antler is the best chewing toy made. )

Two names I forgot to mention he will answer to; Bozo and Bo for short.

My big dog drags them home on occasion and I let him keep them, no matter how bad they look.
We have mountain lion kills near by and they always bury them in the draw, so the dumb ass simply steals their kill.

And his name is Butters, from the character in South Park, sweet and stupid, but he has survival skills and at around 125 with full 1,1/4" fangs, he is quite formidable.
He answers to Butthead, Buttbrain, Dumbass, Shithead, and a whole myriad of of expletives seeing how he was a such an idiot the first year he was here.
I think he is actually retarded. Really, not a lot goes on up there... :-[

Well, the Rocket Pup is actually quite bright and intelligent. Doctor Al, the Vet I use had told us at one time after we had lost Dixie Belle, a very smart Golden, that though Golden's were smart, to get a Lab. I hate to say it, but he is smarter than our Dixie gal was. Now, being a Brown, he is one that consistently marches to his own drum, and is smart enough to have Momma Shooter and I both marching in lockstep with him.

I thought of pretty a coat and tie on him and having him run for President- he could be the second Chocolate President and his experience level is about the same, but he said he hated to leave us, so I said okay.
