Chance: I was a Turd

Turns out I was a turd on Saturday.  My best pals were gone to the Zoo and Mason was busy so Anna came to let me out. 

I went to the end of the driveway and plopped myself down to wait and wouldn’t move.

Anna had to get her Dad to make me go back into the house.

Someone said “He is getting senile.”  Someone else said “He is a turd dog.”

I may be a senile old turd dog…but I am a loyal one.

You still are the best in my book.

Intense Guy said...

You are a loyal dog - even though they call you horrible names!

Georgina said...

A turd dog Chance? Do you know what that means in UK English?? Not very polite.

Tired perhaps. Turd... surely not?

Linda Kay said...

Poor Chance. He wanted to stay to watch for his family to return.

Nothing more faithful then a dog, even a senile turd dog. Blessings Francine.

Awww. Loyal is what I say, Chance. I'd come out and pet you and stay with you for awhile myself if I were there. No turd dog, whatever that is. :-)

Dear Chance, If you look up 'turd" in the dog dictionary, it will tell you that it is an adjective meaning loyal and vigilant. Not your fault someone used the wrong dictionary to describe you!

Shirley said...

I'm sure you mis-heard, they must have said good dog not turd dog. :)

Patsy said...

Now that was not nice to call you that, I am sure you would have love to go to the zoo.
And been very good.

Aww....Chance was just missing his humans! :)

Karen said...

Just missing your buddies, you were:) Now if someone had clipped a leash on you I'm sure you would have followed along....I think....?

Chance merely loves you both so much and was waiting anxiously for you to come home. What a sweet boy.

Aww- sounds like Chance was waiting for you to come home and not going to budge until you did.

Muffie said...

This is so cute. I have a mental image of Chance plopping himself down and refusing to move!

Gail said...

You are a good dog. Don't let them tell you differently!

My goodness sakes you were just missing Far Side and Far Guy, they are turds for saying such a thing about such a goooood boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you are the sweetest dog anywhere Chance, this is coming from an elderly kitteh cat who plops down in the driveway and won't move for love or money,when the mail lady said I was as fat as a pig and then tried to pet me I scratched her to let her know she was not a lady in my book! My owners who are more like my servants were appalled someone would call me fat and pig, they never saw that mail lady again, the regular gal dropped off treats for me cause she was mighty upset when my owners told her what happened..can you imagine saying such unkind things about me such a beauty and you such a handsome fellar...drats, you are wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was just being a good collie and in control of the situation.

LindaG said...

Exactly! You were loyal.
Hope you all have a blessed week. ♥

I really don't know how they could go anywhere and survive without you. My big dog Barney stays the majority of the day when I am at school laying right next to the door. Button stays in the rocking chair by the door after lunch until I come home. If his mommie goes into the living room and sits on the couch Barney might leave his post to guard her in living room. Button who is the oldest stays by the door to be sure he can great me when I get home. My own kids were never that loyal.

Country Gal said...

We know, Chance, that you were just missing your people.

Rita said...

Stubborn, loyal, and faithful. ;)

MTWaggin said...

It's okay Chance, you just don't enjoy being left behind!

Sam I Am...... said...

Ahh, you're not a turd....dogs are like little children...they don't know if you're coming back or not and it's scary for you when you don't understand, isn't Chance? You weren't going to be happy until they were back home where they belonged...with you....no matter how long it took.
