Tricky Thursday

We were trying to do an entry for the Picnic in the Bark Tube Steak Bobbing sponsored by Sarge. We really struggled to get some good pics. Phantom didn't want to do it at all. Thunder gobbled them down so quickly there was nothing to see. And Ciara - well, we will let you see what she thought of bobbing in a short video.

Mom thought she would be clever to get some good pics.



Hmmm, what's in here?






They don't quite taste right, Mom.






You can't fool me, those are impostor tube steaks - you swiped them from the little bipeds play kitchen, didn't you?





And here is what happened when Mom used the real goods - this pic will prove to you that there really were some "tube steaks" in the bowl.



There were more added in a bit.





You can see a crumb in this one.





And POOF - they are GONE!!! He devoured them.






Seriously, Mom, you don't think I am getting near that bowl, do you?



What a silly girl - she wanted no part of bobbing - Mom even tried to lure her over by putting a few on the deck floor.







If the Blogger video doesn't work, here is a You Tube version.





And so that is the story of our effort to bob for tube steaks.


Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

  2. Bwahahahaha. Ciara is suspicious of floating wieners. I,BabyRD, would be the same way. Hootie would be more like Thunder and stick his face right in to get 'em! Funny video.
    Have a good week!

  7. I'm with Ciara. I just stayed out of it while the other two ate all the tube steaks. I wasn't going to degrade myself doing something so silly. No, I waited to have my share given to me.

  12. I'm pretty sure Steve would be just like Thunder and gobble up the tube steak. I'm not sure for me. I probably would eat it. I like to wash off my toys in the water bowl, so I am an experienced bobber!

  15. Great videos!!! Ciara reminds me of how Holly would do as far as trying to run away!! If she thinks something is not right, she runs the other way and there is no getting her to do anything!! Thunder sure loved them though!! Lots of love, Debbie & Holly

  17. Dat is called killin' two birdies wit one stony (or sometin like dat). Eats and drinks at da same time! BWHahahahahah


    PeeS....thank you for calling dem Tube Steaks instead of.......HOT DOGS!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hee hee hee hee hee! Oh, you all have your own style, that's for sure! I'd have had those hot dogs out of there in no time! Ciara, I don't blame you for being cautious. Humans are always trying to trick us around water!

  19. I would have sniffed them, and then gently removed the real hot dogs, fake stuff is bad!

  22. OMG, Ciara reminds me of Loki when i fed him raw chicken legs... like he eats raw meat, raw veal bones, raw chicken ground up and all sorts of other raw. but a raw chicken leg? same look... NO WAY! hilarious. weirdo's. that's what they are!

  24. Cute!! Both of my fur-girls would be with Ciara... ewwwww!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh, fun! I'll have to try that with my guys--no telling what will happen. I suspect Toby would be a Thunder and Sage definitely Ciara until Toby assured her it wasn't going to eat her!

    ReplyDelete
  26. heeheehee! your momster totally fooled me for 50 gazillionths of a second cuz i thought those were little smokeys in the water dish and not fake ones!!
    anywho, miss ciara, i think asa would do exactly the same thingie as you! i think i would be more like TD and grab the tube steaks out of the waters all speedy gonzales like. :)
    me 'n asa entered a cool drool creepy crawly pic over at oskar's.
    see you at the picnic!!

  33. Hee hee that is hilarious! We're with Ciara on this one, we don't do noses under water, not even for treats - well done thunder for being such an underwater specialist, without a snorkle too! Dex & Lou xxx

    ReplyDelete
  34. Ciara, we don't blame you for not wanting those floating tube steaks! Boys aren't quite as picky about where to stick their noses!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I wouldn't want my food in a bowl of water either! Unless I put it there myself, of course.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Man, my mom person got sick & couldn't get me any hot dogs!

    I don't like water, but I'm pretty sure I would have fished out the hot dogs!

  37. Tsar agrees with you guys. He wants' nothing to do with large containers of water, but those curly dogs will stick their heads under water even when food isn't involved. Crazy dogs!

  39. Ciera, you are so funny! How could you not want to eat meat?! Water schmater, it is meat!!! BOL! You are so cute! Loved the video!

    Cheers,

    Suka

  40. And the winner is...THUNDER! Ciara was just being a dainty lady. Pie eating contests, beer chugs, tube steak bobbing is such BOY stuff! Let's go get some lovely salmon and cream cheese tea sandwiches with the crusts cut off, Ciara!
