Dog Eat Doug by Brian Anderson for March 31, 2010

It fell with the sound of a lead pipe making hard contact with a concrete floor.

margueritem, I’ve seen your Easter egg avatars last year as well as this year. Where do you find those beautiful pictures… or do you make them yourself?

Go Sophie!

I agree with Chromosome, those are pretty Easter egg pics, Marg!

chromosome, I look online for what I want. Thank you for the compliment, I’m glad that you enjoy them.

This is Doug’s version of the Batsignal ( so much more energy efficient than a huge klieg light.) He knows Sophie will come running .

Well, dogs are more sensitive to the high pitched screams of elbow macaroni…

Yes, Specially when it involves free food their not suppose to have.

this one is so true

And here I that Sophie would have a nose for those things.

Too true! All we have to do it open up the dogs cookie jar. They’re there in 2.7 seconds even if they were in the backyard with the doors closed.

My Lab Cleo would enter the kitchen when we were pouring cereal in our bowls and listen for a piece to hit the floor. We used to get such a kick out of her concentration that we began intentionally dropping a few pieces.

I had a dog once who could be in another room and tell when you got to what she considered her piece of whatever I was eating. She wouldn’t even have seen me getting the food and she would still know.

I’m not terribly impressed. “Grasshopper, when you can hear the macaroni falling through the air, and snap it up before it even hits the floor, you shall be ready.” (Ready for WHAT, exactly? Dunno…)

My cousin had a bulldog who used to just lay around the house, but I once actually witnessed her run & catch a piece of scrambled egg before it hit the floor. That was some dog !

my cat comes running just from hearing the yoghurt container being snapped apart from the 4 pack,,

Dogs’ (and maybe cats’) senses of smell are something like 40,000 times more sensitive than humans’. I doubt that sound has anywhere near as much to do with it.

Maxx is the same way about cheeze. No matter how quietly you try to open the single slice wrapper or where he is or how much noise between, he will be there instantly.
