Top ten things dogs talk about when they meet in the neighborhood

Hi, this is Callie again, Fred’s seven-month-old Golden Retriever puppy.

Fred’s gone fishing for a few days, so he asked me to write another blog. But first let me tell you that I like to go fishing, too. When Fred fishes at Lake Arrowhead, he takes me along on the boat, and I really enjoy being out on the lake. It’s fun to see the fish that Fred catches, too. I wouldn’t like it if Fred kept the fish he catches, but he always releases them, at least the bass. Speaking of which, here’s a picture of a 5 ½ pound largemouth bass Fred caught a few weeks ago. Some fish, huh?

Here are the Top Ten Things Dogs Talk About When They Meet in the Neighborhood:

  1. My owner’s teaching me to roll over. I keep pretending I haven’t learned it yet, and he keeps giving me these really neat puppy treats!
  2. Have you heard about these new “White Bites™” treats? They’re supposed to be the “best thing in the block.”
  3. Chisolm, the beagle two blocks over, told me his people took him to the dog-park in Redondo Beach and it’s really neat!
  4. My people bought me a new toy last week. I heard it’s made out of old fire-hose. Man, those things are really hard to chew through!
  5. I still can’t get used to wearing the doggles my owner bought me.
  6. Do you think these new doggie cup cakes are better than the old fashioned dog treats?
  7. Have you met the new rent-a-dog? His name is Leprechaun, and he’s a really handsome Irish Setter. Trouble is, he’s only at the Wilson’s house on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. He says one of his homes is a really ritzy place in Beverly Hills.
  8. Who do you think is the alpha dog in our neighborhood? I’d vote for Bernie, the Robinson’s St. Bernard.
  9. My people took me to the vet yesterday. I sure hate it when they take my temperature that way.
  10. Have you met the new groomer? The guy with the hot new red and purple truck? He give lots better puppy treats than the other guys.
  11. (Just for good measure) Our dog-sitter took me for a three-mile walk yesterday. He must not have much else to do!
