Monday Musings ~ October 21, 2024

Good Monday morning, peeps. Welcome to Monday. While it seems as if everyone is just trying to get through the election, do you realize there are only 71 days left this year. Don’t know about you but that is somewhat alarming. Where has this year gone?

Monday smile

It should be noted that Wilson is a bit of a cheapskate when it comes to tips. He can’t seem to help but lick his bowl spotlessly clean for all meals. I guess not sweeping up bits and bobs of crumbs is my tradeoff for actual tips. There’s no doubt he’s quite the neatnik when it comes to not leaving morsels of food on the floor. If only he could be convinced to wipe off his nose prints on the front door.

Wishing you a spotless Monday.

Live, love, bark! 🐾

    1. Thanks, Paul. We’re all a bit nervous about the elections and hope for everyone’s sake sanity prevails. Stay well and keep smiling.

  1. At our house, Olivia goes around and cleans all our food bowls and the floor around them after every meal. Nothing is wasted here! Mom says it was the other day that she was trying to remember to write 2024 and now it is practically over. Crazy.

    1. We had that happen to us recently. Out of the blue, and for some inexplicable reason, she wrote a year long gone. Talk about a brain hiccup! Here’s to clean bowls every year!

    1. Hahahaha! Good point. I’ve often thought I should have renamed Wilson…Dyson or Hoover. He inhales his food!

    1. Too often it disintegrates when you’ve stepped on it and then you have to get out the vacuum to clean it up. Ugh, indeed. There’s more than enough housecleaning as it is when you have dogs. 😁

  2. sounds like my lab… but he also might remember going hungry before he moved to the ranch. Milo is like my other poodle, eats when hungry, ignores it otherwise. The little fat poodles you see must be eating a lot of treats, he’d eat a treat to excess!

    1. All of my poodles have been grazers too. Dogs like Wilson on the other hand eat like they haven’t had a meal in days. 😉

        1. Oh my gosh! That’s wild. And very clever. I cannot even imagine trying to groom a poodle like that. Elsa would have a fit! 😁 Thanks for sharing.

            1. I’ve owned poodles since the 70’s. Not one of them would ever tolerate that kind of grooming and fussing! 🤣

  3. We are blessed with a couple of neat-niks too, Monika. They would never allow a piece of food to remain. They are also nose print artists like Wilson. I don’t think that is ever going to stop. I hope you and the ranch hands have a lovely week.

    1. How generous for mom and dad to clean those tips up. Elsa refuses to eat anything that is t in her bowl. Unless of course, it’s the mail. 😳 Have a great Monday!

  4. I guess consider yourself lucky, no fuss and no post meal mess. My girls, being Golden Retrievers, leave nary a gram of food on the floor or their bowls. Koda actually does a good mop up on both bowls leaving them spotless without any evidence there was a meal served in them. So I guess I too am lucky. On the other hand Kloe often approaches me for a post meal kiss and burps in my face so I’ve got that going for me too. 🙃. Have a great week at the ranch. Ear scratches to the diners in your doggie cafe!

    1. Wilson is like that. Course he does look like a mop sometimes so I guess that makes sense. LOL Have a great Monday, Mike.

  5. Wilson is like my Chia, Lucy and Xena. They each lick their bowl clean, then go around licking each other’s bowls, too! And I don’t feed near a wall, so that doesn’t happen, but I do have to wash Xena’s beard frequently!

  6. You made me chuckle. A great way to start the week.

    I linked this post to Awww Mondays as always.

    Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to the pups and a big hug to you. ♥

    1. Many thanks, Sandee. That cartoon describes dogs to a tee. Sam was a big tipper-he would never eat food that he himself pulled from his bowl. Used to crack me up.

    1. Eating habits with dogs is always ‘interesting.’ Hope you’re doing well-thanks for commenting. Happy Monday, Kriistina.

        1. One of my dogs did that; that’s when I switched to stainless steel. Can’t help but wonder why they chew up their bowls.

    1. I feel your pain on the nose prints. My front door looks like frosted glass too often. Have a great Monday getting back into the regular routine.

        1. Whoa…clearly no moss will collect under your rolling stone! Have fun bringing smiles to folks.

    1. Wilson even cleans up after Elsa who is less picky about the area around her bowl. Happy Monday, Helen. Give the Thugs an ‘atta boy’ from me.

    1. Awk…we’re right there with you on that and not even the Christmas cards have been created. Oy indeed. Happy Monday.

    1. Trust me, we have that as well, well except for the cats. I have to washing the wall and baseboard near his food bowl often. Sigh. Happy Monday.

Feel free to bark your thoughts...but please no growling.
