Wait! Leeloo, do you smell that?
The candy wrapper under your foot?
No.
The two squirrels by the stop sign?
No.
The mark on the telephone pole from the new dog up the street?
No.
Dad opening … OPENING UP A NEW BAG OF TREATS?!!!
YES!
Let's go inside and get some.
Yes, let's.

My pups, cute as they are, are shameless treat pigs. Which is also why I suppose they excel at learning new things. Shake hands? Treat. Roll over? Treat. Mow the lawn? Treat. Juggle cats? Treat.

Have a great day, folks!

What's up Maggie?

You're leaving again.

Yeah, I do that often. Why the worry?

I'm afraid you won't come back.

But I always do.

Up to now, at least.

Just ask Dallas when I'll be home. He knows. In the mean time, you can bite him a little to keep busy.

Okay. That sounds like fun.
Dallas!

Maggie is a worrier. She's always worried I won't come back. She patiently sits by the front door when I'm leaving for the day and implores me with her eyes not to leave. I admit, it's difficult to leave when she looks at me like that. When I get home, she hugs me. It's endearing to say the least.

What's that Dallas?

MMMmmm, mmmph, mmmph, grrrr, mmph!

Ah, I see. You want to stop and go home.

Mp! Mmph, mmmph mmmmmmmggrrrrrrrt!... mbph!

Oh, sorry. You want to stay. Why didn't you say so in the first place?

Yeah, he's silly. Just the way I like him.

Seamus contemplating the complexities of life and fluffy toys.

As goofy as he is (and he's really goofy), this boy spends a lot of time meditating.

Seamus baiting Dallas. Dallas was up to the challenge, of course. What followed was 5 minutes of crazy zooming and chasing, biting and growling. Tons o' fun for all.
