Indy and Gizmo food fight

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Makes me laugh every time. I give them both treats, Indy hides hers and harasses Gizmo while he eats his, eventually stealing the last bit of his. When he’s done, she’ll go dig up hers and tease him while he watches. This always drives him completely nuts and sends him loopy.

For example.. here Indy has just dug up her treat and is trying to eat it in peace, while Gizmo howls/growls/moans.. he torments her so. I especially like the way he tries to stealthily crawl towards the treat so she won’t notice.

A bath is not one of his favorite things, as you can probably tell from his face here.

Wet gizmo

No you can’t have any. Bugger off.

I buy these raw bones things from the doggie pet store, and usually split one between the two of them. I’ve found Gizmo tucks into his immediately and it keeps him busy for a few hours, but Indy goes and buries her half. Then she harasses Gizmo while he’s eating his.

Later, sometimes days and days later .. Gizmo finds the buried half. They’re typically rather stinky by this point and I think they’ve started rotting. Yup, ewwwww. He gets his paws and mouth covered in nasty gunk, and likes to jump all over me to express his gratitude. Ewwwww ..

Thanks for the bath, not

.. but what, something on my lip? What does it look like? WHAT IS IT?!

wart gizmo

Poor Gizmo had a nasty dose of some weird wart thing for a few months. They kinda came out of nowhere and he ended up with 3 or4 of them at once, most of them inside his mouth but one HUGE one outside on his lip.. as you can see from this pic.

Some dogs love baths. Most hate them .. these 2 pooches hate them with a vengence. I have to play with them a bit, do something like throw a towel over their head and pick them up and quickly carry them in and drop them in the tub before they realize. Otherwise they just kinda tense up and spread all their legs out and it’s hard to get them through the shower door.

I’d just given Gizmo a bath here too. Funny he’ll run into the ocean but freaks out in the shower. He goes nuts afterwards though, and Indy chases him while he rubs himself on any dry furniture/clothing/bedding, etc. to try and get drier.
