It’s Throwback Thursday time. Sam here. Mom was going through some photos the other day for another project she was working on and came across this photo and turned to me and shook her head. She actually had the nerve to say out loud, “remember that day you were supposed to be watching the Ninja Elsa when she vandalized munched that brand new skein of yarn?!” Wait…what? Do I look like a freaking babysitter? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Woman, how’s about you just not being so wrapped up in crafting next time. Besides, I kept looking at you-can I help it if you didn’t pay attention to my silent eye daggers? Do I look like Lassie barking my fool head off about Timmy falling down the well? You need to get with it and ‘hear’ me better.
The week is rushing toward our best friend, Friday. Hope everyone is either staying cool or dry from the rain that skipped us. Whichever…hope all is well in your world.
Live, love, bark! ❤︎
I agree with you Sam. Us mature dogs are no puppy sitters. I can herd them outside but inside I’m sleeping. Ms Zulu.
The nerve of some ‘pawrents’ to think we are!
I know! They should require pawrenting licenses before anyone could adopt us.
Hahahaha you’re not a babysitter
Sometimes….dogs just get the blame. I know I always look to Sampson when Delilah does something she shouldn’t…LOL
Boys are expected to protect. Guess there’s gender bias even with dogs. 😇
oh he told you… you didn’t know he told but he told on her… and probably was irked she didn’t get in trouble!
I do recall some eye rolling by Sam once I caught her. It was kind of like “I told you but did you listen to me?” 😁
We do rely on using body language & reserve barking for real emergencies like treat time being over looked😉
Nose nudges,

Excellent idea…why didn’t I think of that?
Your fur-iend,
Sam🐾
Sam, I hear you. I try and try to tell Mommy stuff and she just doesn’t pay attention and then she is like Fenris why didn’t you tell me the cats were misbehaving, why didn’t you stop them from going over the fence, why didn’t …Well I did tell you the cats were misbehaving I looked right at you and whined you ignored me, I did try to stop them from going over the fence, but they aren’t scared of me so they just walked right past me to the fence, and sometimes I just give up cause the woman doesn’t pay attention. Glad I am not the only one with this complaint. ~Fenris
It’s such a burden, Ferris…I feel your pain.
I feel your pain, Sam. Before Tallulah came to live with us, Mommy looks into my eyes and said, “You’re in charge of training her.” Are you kidding me? The humans expect waaaaaay too much out of us. 😉
Humans are SO slow when it comes to subtle clues, Sam!
Oh, I get that watch the young ones often here so I can relate! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
As always, thanks for hosting. Always fun to see what’s going on in the kitty-sphere.
BOL!! Humans need to take a class on dog language!
No kidding. And a class on what us standard poodles do and won’t do. 🙂
I think Wilhelmina’s humom needs to take that class for sure!!!!!
Sometimes the humans expect us to do ALL the work!
Boy…ain’t THAT the truth! Thanks for stopping by to see how my mum ‘mistreats’ me. LOL 🙂
Your fur-iend,
Sam🐾
So unfair she tried to push that responsibility onto you!
Your Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Exactly, I’m a poodle, not a babysitter. 🐾
Too funny, Sam!!! Before Ducky came along, Callie was always the instigator. And Shadow was always right there to “help” her sister. But then Ducky came along and changed everything. 🙄😂
Canine dynamics are incredibly complex but fascinating.
That’s for sure!
And then there are the pups with such a strong sense of right from wrong that they look guilty when the other dog does something wrong…
Those guilty looks when they’re not actually, are the best for smiles.
So funny how they act when the other one is creating chaos! I wrote a post called “Little Timmy fell down the well!”, one of my favorites. One is always “looking out for” the other, or tattling, whichever you prefer. 🙂
Where Elsa is concerned, I could use a tattler!
yes..the eyes are the windows to our soul and they can be the loudspeakers… if we listen :o) I thought yarn-games are more the part of the feline world? I will try it too… looks like fun :O)
It seems that nothing is safe from the Ninja. I could send you some saliva soaked yarn for you to try. Maybe you will be more successful at crocheting than Elsa’s first attempt?
at least Elsa is better than the mama… she started a sweater for her dads 40th birthday…it’s still not finished… he turns 73 this year ;O)))
LOL…I can only do potholders or coasters myself! At least she tried. 🙂
