Will work for food

Hey Doggies & GG...as you may know...Sherman has this Big Day coming up and we've been pretty excited about it because it means PAWTY TIME at our house (aka lotsa treats!!).



So we were all psyched when Mom cooked up this yummy flank steak for us.



It was even better when she made it into little Dog sized pieces for us to feast on.



But the bad news came...that was Dad's dinner & THIS is what we were left with!!


Umm...hello??? And exactly WHO is that gonna feed???? And Mom had the nerve to cut this little tidbit into even smaller "training" sized pieces. Training??? Mom...I thought I had you perfectly trained.

Apparently, Mom has not been impressed when she calls my name & I've been searching the yard for Tadpole or Marvin or super studly Stanley or the new hottie on the block, Rowan and I ignore her. Hey Mom! Soooooorry! I'm busy. And popular. You've got to HOLD UP!

But I'm getting better. A girl's gotta learn to separate her Boyz from her Treatz!

Unless of course...the Boyz wanna come callin' WITH Treats!

They make us work for scraps!

Snowball said...

I am luckier. My hoomans will feed my my treats regularly and they will let me try all their food that they think do not contain too much seasoning. Do you want to come over and stay with us?

Luv,
Snoball

Joe Stains said...

Hey Sherman, how come you only got ONE piece of steak, but Lola & Penny got TWO? That's not right, particularly with your special day approaching! I'm going away tomorrow so I'll miss you big day, but I'll be thinking of you pal! J x

Ruby Bleu said...

You were robbed!!!! That's all I can say, robbed!!!

Lots of Licks, Ruby

Amber-Mae said...

Aha! I knew it! There's no such owners in this world that will give a huge piece of delicious roasted meat! No way...They only give us scraps like what Cairo said. I don't call those treats. Hmmppff! But they sure looks delicious to me...

Love licks,

Peanut said...

See my penny is so smart she didn't even need to be told to sit she just did it.

Katherine and Pippa said...

Thought your mom wasn't meant to be much of a cook or a baker or something?

That looks pretty good from here...

Bet dad liked it.

coco said...

ohmydog the drool is getting all over the keyboard...

hey wait a minute. i'm pretty sure sherman only got ONE treat while lola and penny got TWO. what's up with that, mom??? hopefully he got his second bite after the filming session ended.

and he even wagged his tail while sitting - you think that's easy????

in the interest of fairness, coco

The Brat Pack said...

You guys are soooo well behaved!! We can't believe you only got the butt of that steak. That's just wrong.

We thought your Mom didn't cook for your Dad anyway. He would have never missed it.

O Our Dogness! We are drooling. Someone get us a bib. We're gonna leave your blog up on the screen so Momma can get some good ideas from it! Tee hee. Heck, we'd even be willing to sit for some steak!

Stanley said...

It's so deceptive, really...

Looking at the video you would think it was your *mama* that had *you* trained so well.

BWaaaHaaaHA! Now, THAT'S funny!

Goober love,
Stanley

You look for me in your backyard? Am I ever there?

Lorenza said...

That steak really looks good! And you got only tinny pieces!!
I hope next time your mom will have more for you!
I am impressed with your good manners!
Have a nice day

HAPPY GOTCHA-DAY SHERMAN!
I told Wally that I bet your human are just pinching themselves silly today & thinking to themselves, "How did we ever get so lucky to have such a handsome boy as Sherman..."
Have a great day!

that steak looks so good! You three were so well-behaved. Impressive impressive.. I would be very loud.

fee said...

she cooked that that slab of big fat juicy steak and all you get is that tiny sliver, to share??? she is as evil as my mom!!!

wally said...

Sherman--Your mom went to NEW JERSEY on your burpday? Why that borders on abuse (insert Jersey joke here). She'd better throw you a big guilt-ridden bash when she gets back! I have some ideas, they may involve Dot and a pole.
