I’ve Already Broken my New Year’s Resolutions

Perry_NYday_13Who needs them anyway?  Resolutions were meant to be broken and I just could not help myself.  There was Dad’s shoes and the insoles  just sitting there waiting to be stolen – here I am gleefully running away with them.

It’s the best feeling in the world and I can really get a rile out of Dad.  I haven’t broken the coveting resolution yet but there was some tempting human food on the counter this evening as dinner was being prepared.  I’m not promising anything.  Isn’t it canine nature to steal AND covet?

Happy New Year from Perry

IMG-20130101-00901I’m trying to start with a clean slate but it is SO hard for me.  There are 2 resolutions I can’t seem to conquer:

  1. Thou Shalt Not Steal my parent’s things
  2. Thou Shalt not Covet food from the counter

I know the high value things Mom and Dad need to use – phones, shoes, remote controls, tape measurements, the newspaper, toilet paper, and pens.  These are the items I frequently steal and run with.  The toilet paper has been hard to come by since they now close all the doors but the other items are usually in my sight. With all the lutein I get in my veggies my eyes are excellent which helps with spotting high value items.  That’s’ one those important nutrients humans and canines need or so I am told.

I can’t help myself with coveting all the food and look how TALL I am – it’s so much easier with my great height!

I hope you all have a Happy New Year.  Make sure to eat healthfully like me.  I look forward to hearing from all my friends who follow me!

I’m Good in the Kitchen

It’s been a challenging week.  Dad has been working on training me and trying to make me wait, drop it, and respect other people’s belongings but sometimes I “forget” and steal things I’m not supposed to.

Dad is cooking today and I love it, and am generally good since I may get extra treats from anything that gets dropped or forgotten about.  But sometimes I still need to supervise by surfing the counter to make sure everything is going as it should.

Dad does NOT like me micro managing his kitchen projects.
