Leash:
A strap which attaches to your collar, enabling you to lead your person where you want him/her to go.

Dog Bed:
Any soft, dean surface, such as the white bedspread in the guest room or the newly upholstered couch in the living room.

Drool:
Is what you do when your persons have food and you don't. To do this properly, you must sit as close as you can and look sad and let the drool fall to the floor, or better yet, on their laps.

Sniff:
A social custom to use when you greet other dogs. Place your nose as close as you can to the other dog's rear end and inhale deeply, repeat several times, or until your person makes you stop.

Garbage Can:
A container which your neighbors put out once a week to test your ingenuity. You must stand on your hind legs and try to push the lid off with your nose. If you do it right, you are rewarded with margarine wrappers to shred, beef bones to consume and moldy crusts of bread.

Bicycles:
Two-wheeled exercise machines, invented for dogs to control body fat. To get maximum aerobic benefit, you must hide behind a bush and dash out, bark loudly and run alongside for a few yards; the person then swerves, and falls into the bushes, and you prance away.

Thunder:
This is a signal that the world is coming to an end. Humans remain amazingly calm during thunderstorms, so it is necessary to warn them of the danger by trembling uncontrollably, panting, rolling your eyes wildly, and following at their heels. Let's not forget exiting via windows, chewing door frames and clawing every door in the house!

Wastebasket:
This is a dog toy filled with paper, envelopes, and old candy wrappers. When you get bored, turn over the basket and strew the papers all over the house until your person comes home.
Sofas:Are to dog like napkins are to people. After eating, it is polite to run up and down the front of the sofa and wipe your whiskers clean.

Bath:
This is a process by which the humans drench the floor, walls and themselves. You can help by shaking vigorously and frequently.

Lean:
Every good dog's response to the command "sit!", especially if your person is dressed for an evening out. Incredibly effective before black-tie events.
Bump:The best way to get your human's attention when they are drinking a fresh cup of coffee or tea.

Goose Bump:
A maneuver to use as a lest resort when the Regular Bump doesn't get the attention you require,....especially effective when combined with The Sniff. See above.

Love:
Is a feeling of intense affection, given freely and without restriction. The best way you can show your love is to wag your tail. If you're lucky, a human will love you in return.

Hey Sam

Thanks for sniffing by. I do all the stuff you do. Us Gundogs can get into some mischief and we keep our mums and dads on their toes.

Yeah, we are a pair of good looking dudes, aren't we !!! We do look alike too. Hobson told me when he and mum were coming back from the shops last week, mum saw a dog in the back of a car out of the corner of her eye, and the head looked like an English Setter. So, she did a UUUey and headed after this car. She followed the car across 3 suburbs until she caught up with it, and guess who was in the back, a Weim like you.

My mum said to tell you the painting is beautiful.

Keep up the good mischief work.

Love from your mate, Hammer

Sam, You are clearly brilliant and literate beyond your brain size. But watch that standing up when you're under the coffee table. You don't want to rattle anything. Thanks for the glossary!

Freda said...

Hey Sams,

The fillosofter strikes again. I like the 'Goose Bump', 'Lean' and 'Love', my favs. But that 'Thunder' stuffs...

What a great picture. Is that a pastels?

Wuufs!

I was forcibly bathed today. But I got my revenge by attaching my leash to the humans and marching them around the neighborhood, stopping at each and every mailbox.

Isabella said...

Grab your leash and head down to my place. We can eat biscotti and then go down to the art show in Key West. We can bark at that big metal rooster. Then we can lay on the beach and drink rum drinks as we listen to Jimmy Buffett music.
Big Wags,
Isabella

Willy said...

Toot - something I do when everyone is relaxed and they need to jump up and wave their hands and grab their noses.

Willy has a blue weimeramer and she does get gas.

I'm going to print this out and tape it to the refrigerator, I think, to help me think like a dog while dealing with the Husky.
