Saturday's Satisfying Story

Mom told me Saturday that I had a lot to think about
and that I hadn't been a good boy.



Here I am trying to look serious and contemplative.



As you may recall, I had an adventurous week last week. First I caught a snake - and Mom used those words "leave it" - and I DID.


Then I caught a bird. Well, to tell the truth, the silly bird flew into the window near the deck and fell to the floor. I just scooped him up. But then Mom again used those words "leave it" - and I DID.

Today I was outside surveying the perimeter of my domain and I found something. Mom looked out the window and spotted me with something 7-8 inches long, round and plump, greyish brown-furred. She hurried out to the deck and was screaming those words "leave it" - and I DIDN'T. She raced down the stairs. She can be very fast when she wants to. . . .


But I was faster. Before she could hit the bottom step,
it was gone, gone, gone - all in one big gulp!!!


Mmmmmm, it was soooooooooo good.


Woos,

Pee Ess: some of you wondered why Phantom was so cold. Well, it was chilly overnight Sunday and very cold in the early morning. Well, OK, it was only about 42 degrees. But Phantom is super skinny and his coat is pretty thin, especially since his surgery. He doesn't like the cold, hard as that may be to believe. So we indulge him and let him curl up in his doughnot anytime he wants. It is supposed to be a very cold winter in the Midwest. Mom better stock up on warm blanies for the boy.

  9. You are my inspiration!

    But, we thing a 66% success rate on dropping tasty treats is good! My numbers in that category STINK.

  10. Salute Thunder. While we may obey sometimes, you have to keep the humans guessing. And since you are above 50%, that is superb behavior in The Herd world.

  11. I HATE when they do that...

    Love the pictures! He looks very mischievous !

    ReplyDelete
  12. WOW! Awesome! I'm so jealous! Was it REALLY a squirrel??? Well done my Siberian neighbor!!!

    And Phantom thinks 42 degrees is cold??? I must say that really surprises me. Wonder if he could have a wee bit of foo foo (as the BH&K call it) in his ancestry... oh, surely not.

  13. Woooos Thunder!!!!! I am so impressed! That is a husky after my own heart. You could come there, where it is warm and we can have squirrel for dinner....I like them too! ( although I usually do not eat the tail, I leave that for Mom to find!)

  16. Hi Thunder!
    Is it true that you gulp a squi... squi..?! That's a great adventure for us! We sure hope you would not get into trouble with you mom. Waaaaah
    Your photos all so adorable and really looked like you enjoyed some Y-U-M-M-Y treats.
    By the way, Frappie wants to let you know that he and the entire Piappies family are staying together. And he looks forward to learning more tricks from you and Phantom.

  17. Hi Thunder
    You got to eat a squirrel. You are so lucky. What did it taste like, we just have to know?
    Love Ruby & Penny
    Poor Phanton - if you need a couple of doxie heaters, don't hesitate to call.

  18. My goodness, you MUST share with us the EXACT nature of your outdoor snack! That sounds furry noteworthy!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Thunder- we are so proud of you! Nothing like catching your own snack.

    Phantom - Curling up in a doughnut, napping next to the heat register or snuggling under a blanklet are all great ways to stay warm. Just make sure that your mom doesn't put a sweater on you!

  20. wow Thunder - hope your snack was good and you didnt get into too much trouble - Sweetie catches stuff all the time and mommy yells at her!!

  21. Oooo, what was it? Was it a RAT??? Or a SQUIRREL??? You are my hero, Thunder!!!

    And yes, we are feeling the cold up here in Iowa. Mom says she needs to take me shopping fur some comfy shirts to wear inside. Usually I only wear a hoodie outside when it gets really cold, but something about this year... everything feels a little colder. Especially when you have a nekkid belly like me!

    Luv,

  22. Doesn't the tail tickle on the way down? I've never been brave enough to try one!

  23. Hi, Thunder...

    OMdoG...You actually caught a squirrel...And, ate it???

    Oh...I'm soooo jealous...

    My Mom says, she is glad I've never caught one...And, she is sure I wouldn't "Leave It" if I did...

  24. Oh! Thunder - we hope it didn't scratch around too much in your tummy.

    PS - Java is getting old and arthritic and likes to lay close to the heater - Dad won't let Mom get him a sweater but sometimes we think he needs one.

  35. OHOH, Thunder's in trouble.. I hate it when I see my dogs or cats at that fact eating something they shouldn't! YUCK! He is so cute though, how could you possibly be mad at him!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hi Thunder - um, we have to say that you don't look particularly shameful in ANY of those photos, so 'thinking about being bad' hasn't had the desired effect, he he he! We sort of hope it WAS a squirrel and not - um - like a neighbours cat or anything.....!! Eeek! Good grief - we think we'd be too scared to do something like that - we sometimes get a bit upset if one of our stuffies fights back too hard, he he he! Schnauzer snuggles - JD and Max.

  45. Hi, Thunder!

  46. What the heck did you eat??? A squirrel? We would have shaken it, but eaten it? Hmm....(Lacie scratches her head thoughtfully....)

    No...we probably woulda asked if he wanted to play a hand of poker. Everybody wild or tame beats Scruffy...he's horrible...

    That pic of you lickin' ur lippies is priceless....

    Kisses...flirty ones...

  50. Oh my... Thunder Dunder.. you naughty naughty boy.. hehe.. first of all, let me just say that you look very striking in those pics... we have always been fans of your snowy white furplection.. :)

    what naughtiness have you been up to now? I'm so glad your mum did not collapse when she saw you swallowing that thing...

    We dont have skwhirrels here so I was maybe thinking of field mice... OMD!

    Are you feeling okay buddy? no bad stomach or anything? or maybe any pesky hooman trying to induce vomitting?

    Please send our warmest hugs to your handsome brother! Do you think 84 lbs of labrador would be enough to warm him these days?

    drooly kisses,

  51. Oh My Thunder Dunder! You are the TALENT! And who could stay angry with such a face?

  53. sometimes when I get something that my moms does not want me to have , these are her words.

    leave it
    sit
    down
    drop it
    cookies
    chickie
    cookies in the house
    come
    leave it
    lets trade

    only sometimes do they words work!

  54. Oh, Thunder, I've been getting into trouble recently too. For being mean to Wilbur. I think he's just asking for it, but Mom doesn't see it that way.

    Steve says it's better for you to swallow your prey in one gulp that for your mom to have to see a headless squirrel, like our mom did when she had to hold Steve while Dad pried the squirrel out of Steve's mouth.
