Collar Wars

It's been raining all day. Wet dog fur is particularly nasty when matted beneath a nylon web collar; so when it rains all day, the collar comes off. What we didn't foresee was the apparently irresistable nature of such an item to the smallest human in the house:





"I got your collar. Nyah, nyah, nuh-nyah, nyah!"






"Mom, a little help here. The kid's got my collar."






Brizzy: "Give it back!"
Carter: "No! Finders, keepers!!"
Both: "MOM!!



Officials are preparing for a predicted increase in hostilities. We'll keep you informed with live, up-to-the-minute coverage. Stay tuned.

I love these little sneak peeks into your life. You make my heart smile. (I know, that was WAY too saccharine but true)

That boy is so destined for greatness. And the dog will go far, too, no doubt :)

That's funny. Briz fits into your family so well. He's getting really big, too.

I love how they both just sprawl all over each other. Just like the puppy pile Briz came from originally.

Very cute! The dog and the kid... just imagine that kid 12 years from now with a studded collar and a few piercings! Yea, I know...UGH!

Blog entries like this make me wish that Moto had a child to play with...um, Eclectic, can I borrow one of yours? I promise to return them with tons of dog slobber and eyeball licks and not much else.

Curtis: You can be sweet here any ol' damn time you want, love. I'm glad we could make you smile!

Susie: Aren't they silly? So you think the collar fettish means he's going to join the clergy?

Squirl: I want him to be big enough to impress Annie y'know...!

Shaw-key: You should see them actually dogpile with the other two! It's hilarious!! Unfortunately I haven't yet gotten a picture of it, but I'll keep trying.

Angie: Seems like it to me! Some things are just meant to be.

Shelly: I certainly hope so! They play like brothers right now and I do kind of wonder how long that will last as they each age.

SSNick: Why, thank you kindly!

Lawbrat: Yep. It's actually pretty entertaining. Brizzy's amazingly gentle with him.

Traci: Oh gosh, you had to bring that up, didn't you?! Gaah! Nightmares -- make it stop!!! ;)

Sooze: Deal! Want 2? Or 3??

Hey, what's wrong with piercings and studded collars?

Very cute pics, eclectic. Well played.

Jim: Hee! It was fun taking the pictures -- I'm glad you liked them.

Rick: Hi! :::waving::: Thank you very much!

Zuhn: *heh* I'm just afraid he'll stick with the green nylon webbing... it simply doesn't look as good as leather.

Too damnit cute!
I like the look on the dog's face in the second photo. Priceless!

Hi, I live in north of Boston but I found the bone marrow donor web site (that will send a kit to your home to do a mouth swab and mail it back in) that is located in Worcester.
I have only been to Worcester State College for a open house with my daughter. Its a nice city with some very sections.
take care

I love that they are on the dog bed too. Your son is really taking his new role as house pooch to heart.

Our Jack has now been through 3 maybe 4 collars in 2 years. The leather one? Ate it. The red nylon one? Scratched until it looked like a red fur collar. I'm afraid to buy a studded leather one in fear that he'll get gas and shoot me on the couch.

(Mr. Stripes is a cutie. Very ticklish I would guess.)

At least he didn't have it in his mouth? (or was that part just not photographed?)

AWW! So kyoote!

 
At 7:20 PM, Blogger The Q said...

I want all three, of course! :-)

I've got $10 on the dog. They fight way dirtier than the kids, at least at our house.

If I win, send one of those drinks from the last post. My liver is packing a suitcase just thinking about it.

:::knock~knock:::

"Can Brizzy come out and play?"

Hi Eclectic, Moto just wanted to know if Briz could come out and teach him how to wrestle.

Hope you are going to have a good weekend My Friend.

Hugs and eyeball licks all around for you and your family! :-)
