Hi there!

New video up at Music Dog Videos, labeled Love Jack Style. Uh, I think Idgie needs to get out more. Obsessed with a ball is just a lil' over the top. I may be forced to send Gull over to play with her.

Okay... Okay, so it won't be any great hardship for me.  But you gotta admit those looney two, seem meant for each other.

The Murph Dog...

Go Gull! Go Gull! Boy, this guy makes a great partner in crime.  I think I'm going to have to revise my opinion of him.  Unbeknowst to Mom, she created the perfect diversion for us to pull off our heist.  She had Oz completely focused on the hot dog she was eating.  So I sent Gull off to nab the carton of Ice Cream, she'd left on the counter to soften.  That height of his finally turned out to be a plus for me.  He grabbed the cream and brought it into the den for us.  Neatly pulled the lid off and then it was Miller Time! Lick Lick Lick Mmmmmmm... Mom caught onto us in a couple of minutes, but those were 2 minutes of sheer heaven.  And we got one up on Oz, cuz he didn't even get any hot dog. Hah!

The Murph Dog...

Oh when will the Gull learn, you can't get away with nothin' around here as long as Cindy Brady is living amongst us.  He tried to do a lil' counter surfin' last night. Had his sights on some Taquitos.  Only got as far as sniffin'em though, 'fore Oz went and tattled on him to Mom.  Usually I view this as quite an annoying trait in Oz, when it's directed towards me.  But gotta say I find it vedy amusing, when it gets Gully in trouble.  HuhDoTOO!!

Hi there!

New video up at Music Dog Videos, labeled Psycho Collie. Poor Oz, he says he doesn't want to be involved in anymore videos like this one.  Peanut Butter apparently is not payment enough for this kind of fright.

The Murph Dog...

SQUEAK...SQUEAK...SQUEAK...SQUEAK... Anybody in the market for a slightly used squeaky toy?  One that's just a notch below breaking the sound barrier or at least shattering glass.

SQUEAK...SQUEAK...SQUEAK...SQUEAK... You know, it's not like Gull doesn't make enough noise on his own, without Mom giving him something to add to the decibal level. 

SQUEAK...SQUEAK...SQUEAK...SQUEAK... Welp, there went Oz. Just dove behind Mom for protection from the evil squeaky toy.  That's Oz, always bringing up the rear in any perceived crisis.

SQUEAK...SQUEAK...SQUEAK...SQUEAK... Argh! I think he's trying to drive me insane. Must be part of his master plan to get me out of the way, to get my share of the apple slices. I see, I'm going to have to solve this problem myself.

SQUEAK...SQUEAK...SQUEAK...SQUE... SNATCH... Here Mom, you might want to discretely hide this in the garbage can.

Murph Dog, The Problem Solver...

Mom was watching one of them morning news programs (and I use the term news loosely).  This never bodes well, because you just never know what negative influence they're going to have on her, that will ultimately effect us.  Well low and behold the segment this morning was about testing intelligence in dogs, so Mom gets the brilliant idea to test us 3.

For Test 1, she draped a towel over our head.  Oz got out from under his towel in seconds, which brought a shout of glee from Mom, so I'm assuming he passed with flying colors.  Gull wiggled his nose out from under his, then proceeded to just walk around with it still draped over his head, with just enough of his eyes peaking out to see where he was going.  The Sheik look is him actually.  Mom musta thought so too, cuz he got a big grin from her. Those Collies they just don't quite comprehend what towels are for, so when Mom plopped it on my head, I showed'em how it's done. I did an immediate roll and started rubbing my head all over it.  Then I picked it up and shook it for good measure... Take That!  And trotted away with my head held high, accompanied by Mom's laughter.

For Test 2, she took 3 bowls and placed them on the floor, then put a treat under one, while we watched.  She started with Oz. Told him to "Stay", then after he saw where she put the treat, she had him face the opposite direction of the bowls.  I'm not sure what this was for, maybe to see if we'd forget about that treat. Hah! Not likely.  Then she sent Oz after the treat.  He went straight to the bowl with the treat and tapped it with his foot. More squeals of glee from Mom. Man, sometimes it's hard to like that guy.

Next was Gull.  He stayed too. What is it with these guys? Always following directions. It's downright annoying. Then when she released him for the treat, it took him 2 tries to get to the right bowl, but once he did, there was no waiting politely for Mom to move the bowl.  He grabbed it up and flung it across the room, then gobbled down his treat. Gotta give him some style points for that, cuz it was almost terrier like.

Finally my turn.  Did I Stay? Nope.  So Mom had to toss a treat in the opposite direction for a distraction. Score 1 treat for me. Did I go to the bowl, when she called me? Nope.  So she lured me over with another treat. Score 2 treats for me.  Did I then attempt to figure out which bowl had the treat? Nope.  Just bounced all around her, looking cute.  So she picked up the bowl for me. Score 3 treats for me. 

Hummmmm.  1 treat for the Collies and 3 for me.  Who do you think is smarter? :wink:
