When we picked Hunter up from his 4-hectre paradise, we discovered that he had learned a few tricks. He’s a new dog, you see, so he’s still teachable.
He was just weaning off his “let’s eat poop” stage before he left, which I was relieved to see the end of, since it’s pretty darn disgusting. But when he came home, he started doing something worse. He started rolling his face in it. And he started rolling his face in the dead rotting carcasses of the rats and other animals he found in the field. He began to stink with a stink you cannot fathom. And every time we gave him a bath, he ran right out in the field and did it again.
My husband searched online to find out why dogs do that, and he read that – besides the fact that eau de rotting carcass is an exquisite perfume to our canine friends – it’s also their way of taking a photo. It’s their way of telling other dogs where they’ve been. And … given the fact that Hunter has calmed down quite a bit in his quest to add new stench to his repertoire, I can only imagine that he has finally left tourist mode and really feels like he’s home. There are no more postcards to send.
However, now that I know my dog is interested in blogging, I think this is what he would say.
These pretty white flowers have popped up since I left.
I wonder if they taste good.
These green balls weren’t here before, but they’re no good at all. I tried ’em. And they give me the runs.
And these green balls here are no good either, but the red ones out of reach are divine.
Look! A chew toy! Now, how can I get a hold of that?
I learned to fetch while I was away, you know.
“Fetch Hunter, Fetch!”
That’s all I ever hear from them now. (Yawn).
Master has been working very hard to make these shelving units for the boys’ room. But I can only peer in from the window. I’m not allowed in there because there are too many toys to chew on (sarcastic font).
The Lady has been working hard in girl’s room too. It’s nice and orderly now – ready for school to start.
Ah. The master bedroom. This hasn’t been touched.
The more things change, the more they …
But it’s good to see my people and hang out with them.
Even when they tease me
Even when they taunt me.
Even when they want me to play fetch.
I’ll fetch that, girl.
I’ll fetch it but I won’t be coming back with it.
Uh Oh. Look at that sky. Not that I’m scared of thunder or anything, but
… gotta go.
I think those are the things Hunter would say in his blog.
I’m never getting my computer back, am I?
I love this post from Hunter’s point of view.
The kids rooms look awesome.

Thanks Tracie! Now it’s time to tackle OUR room!
Love this! And my room looks just like yours, so no judgment here! 🙂

Phew! Glad to know I’m not the only domestically handicapped out there.
Your dog is more eloquent than mine. My dog’s blog would be entirely: “Feed me! Love me! Feed me! Love me! Is that a car door slamming? Feed me!”
My neighbor told me there were pills you could feed your dog to make its poop too unappealing to eat, and all I could think was, “How much more unappealing can it get?” Yuck. I love my dog but dogs are gross.

Aah – your comment made me laugh. I suppose when you cut right down to the chase, that’s all my dog really has to say anyway.
I was told dogs roll in decaying matter to disguise their scent so predators and/or prey can’t detect them. Wolves, their ancestors, do it too. My dog has only done it once, thankfully.

Your dog is too darn cute to do anything like that more than once.
“Sarcastic font”. Love.

Hunter is not quite as literary as Chandy was, but he’s getting into this whole social media thing. 😉
I love your daughter’s bed!!! very cool 🙂 And I know I’ve said it before, whether he’s naughty or not, your dog is a pretty boy 🙂
Oooh thank you Sarah. I think we can give him a lot of grace because he’s so darn cute.
The watermark on your master bedroom picture made me laugh.
But not as much as the fact that your dog as a blog. 🙂

Oh yes, our room … but we’ll get it into shape before school starts. It’s just the dumping ground right now as we do all the other rooms downstairs.
I’m pretty sure my cat just curses at us all day.

Did you ever see the youtube video of the dog welcoming the soldier home? There was a spoof on that one with a cat. I howled. 😀
We eventually broke our Lab of Oh-I-just-had-a-bath-now-I-need-to-roll-in-poop. Now we’re trying to break her of raspberries-yum.

Oh I hear you. Our dog found his way into the strawberry patch and there was not one left. The raspberries are higher up though, so at least we can have some.
Our rooms look the same, the kids rooms are decorated and looking cute and our room will never see the flash of a camera. I love your dog, especially since I can’t smell him through the screen.
Jessica recently posted…Our ride is just fine, thank you
Hee Hee. He is starting to finally smell better. Our room is never in top shape because it’s too cluttered until we finish doing the studio, but it’s even worse now because everything we organized right on out of our kids rooms ended up in ours.
What a unique blog post! 🙂 If that’s how dogs take pictures, I’m never letting any dog I know near my cameras!

At first I was like – were the pictures that bad? And then I was like oooooooh … the pooooop!
I saw a keyword with that and wondered what it meant. My daughter is finally appreciating the private space under her bed that she can access on the side of the wall. That’s another plus.
Our dog wasn’t much into rolling around in stuff other than glass, but she used to eat any food product she could get here paws on. And socks. We used to have to keep our hamper behind closed doors – she couldn’t resist small cloth items.

Sorry – *grass, not glass. That would be a big problem if that were the case.
Kim@Co-Pilot Mom recently posted…Gobble Gobble
I am completely clueless what our dog would say if she blogged. Probably, “will someone please come play with me?” Poor thing.
