Here is another tale about Goldens which was in this week's Woman's Weekly. I get this now and again as our doctor has a double page spread in it, and she is very good.
"Most dogs in Britain are so lucky. The must have a powerful union!.
Diana, my wife, loves dogs. She calls them "Sweetie". She also calls me "Sweetie". I doin't know whether to smile or wag my tail whenever I hear it. It's really confusing.
The other day, Diana said "Dinner's ready, Sweetie." I rushed to the kitchen along with the two dogs.
"Silly dogs," I thought. "You're not getting any of my dinner."
The meal looked delicious and I'd have complimented my wife had she not placed it on the floor.
Within a minute, the dogs - a Labrador and a Golden Retriever - had licked their bowls clean and were looking up at us with expressions that said "Come on, folks. When are you going to feed us?" Even if they've just eaten a big meal, they want to keep eating. They're a lot like me. Except that I'm too proud to beg. When the dogs are wolfing their food, I try not to sit in front of them and drool.
Unfortunately, they never extent the same courtesy to me. I can't eat anything without enduring their sad-eyed expressions that say "Oh, please, we haven't eaten any food since last summer, when we ate all your tennis balls. If you don't feed us, we'll fill your entire home with drool."
Most dogs in Britain are so lucky. They're fed and treated better than many children around the world. And they never have to wash up. You can't even get them to take the rubbish out. They must have a powerful union.
I think my wife likes dogs partly because they're better listeners then men. When she's telling one of her long stories, the dogs just sit there and listen attentively. I know they're thinking "If we act interested, maybe she'll feed us". Dogs are smarter than the look.
I don't mind Diana babying the dogs but I wish it wasn't so confusing. The other night, she said "Come to bed, Sweetie?" I rushed to the bedroom, along with the dogs. "Silly dogs," I thought. "You're not snuggling in bed with us. Not until you learn to use mouthwash.
The Labrador jumped on the bed before I could. I looked at my wife. She looked at me with an expression that said "Did someone call YOU to bed?" Then she petted the dog.
"O.K.Sweetie," I said. "I love you."
"I love you too," she said.
"I was talking to the dog," I said."
Oh dear!!!! I wonder if Diana got the message?
Just shows, we are not the only ones who drool over our dogs!!
