Treat Lady and Baxter

 Last Summer Baxter gained a bit of weight...of course it was all my fault...I am the Treat Lady.  ( No one else could possibly give him any treats) Baxter loves stopping at our house for a treat.  He hated it when we were gone last Winter.  No treats and a strict diet.  What to do...what to do.  Sadie will do anything for a Cheerio...well turns out Baxter likes them too...dispensed one at a time.  I put some on the upstairs steps.

Guess who?  I picked him up for a bit yesterday...he has a bit of separation anxiety.  I folded some laundry at home while he waited.  Then we sat outside for a bit learning a new trick...circle. 
Then his eyes got sadder and sadder...it was time to return him to his home....before he decides to go home all by himself...he knows the way. 

He makes a fine co pilot and even better if he can stick his head out the window.  "Get a move on Treat Lady"
I took a few photos outside and followed Mr Wiggle Butt! That would have been a good name for him. 

"Whatcha waitin for?  Slow poke Treat Lady!"
We had a fine time together.

I babysit...er dog watch and cat watch my neighbor's pet pretty often. I carry tiny tiny dog treats in my pocket when I walk them off leash down the country lane.
They watch me like a hawk and come if I lift my hand and shake the baggy.

They know who treats them!

I'm glad you get to have visits with Wiggle Butt. Dogs/pets sure have a way of calming the heart.

He’s a beautiful dog. Cheerios is a great idea for a little treat. Works with children too!

Aw, so cute. I do miss having a dog around, but we are trying to get the house repairs done, which is requiring a ton of new interior painting. It has been nice to get a break, but we may be putting up a dog fence outside this year. He keeps talking about it, but it just doesn't happen.

Such a beautiful pup! Cheerios are health food and he would have to eat an entire box each day to get that size. Our daughter has a beagle that is grossly obese but too many give it table scraps frequently.

Sometime with a dog is always special. For you you and the doggie :)

He looks like a wonderful dog that had his own quirks. They all do. We had a King Charles in the other day and a poodle too. LD

So nice to have your visitor over for treats. Such a handsome dog. :)

Oh, what a sweet visitor. I'm glad you can get your dog fix.

Baxter has such expressive eyes. It must be hard to resist giving him treats but Cheerios seem like a good option.

Dogs like treats as much as children like treats and they both love anyone who will feed them treats. Baxter is so handsome

Nothing like time spent with a dog to lift our spirits.

Um, treat lady? He looks like he's eating more than just a few tiny cheerios ;-D.
