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.
ReplyDeleteThey 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.
Awwww...he's adorable!

He’s a beautiful dog. Cheerios is a great idea for a little treat. Works with children too!
ReplyDeleteAw, 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.
ReplyDeleteBaxter is a cutie. Glad you had some fun with him.
ReplyDeleteHe's such a handsome lad! It's so nice that there are still dogs in your life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie.

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.
ReplyDeleteHe is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteBaxter knows a good thing when he tastes it! Mr. Wiggle Butt 😂
ReplyDeleteSometime with a dog is always special. For you you and the doggie :)
ReplyDeleteHe 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
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have your visitor over for treats. Such a handsome dog. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, what a sweet visitor. I'm glad you can get your dog fix.
ReplyDeleteBaxter has such expressive eyes. It must be hard to resist giving him treats but Cheerios seem like a good option.
ReplyDeleteDogs like treats as much as children like treats and they both love anyone who will feed them treats. Baxter is so handsome
ReplyDeleteNothing like time spent with a dog to lift our spirits.
ReplyDeleteUm, treat lady? He looks like he's eating more than just a few tiny cheerios ;-D.
ReplyDeleteFun post!
