Play Dog

Today, Edsel had a play date. I know.

My pal Emily, over there at Chatting at the Sky, got her own puppy snickerdoodle some weeks back and I have been obsessed with meeting him since minute one. Bringing Edsel over was an excellent way for me to obsess about HER puppy along with my own.

Edsel was a big hit with Chatting's cute family. And I know you all like it when I call her "Chatting" instead of Emily.

And no, Tallulah didn't get to go. Because she's sizeist and would have bullied poor Finn, Chatting's puppy. Y'all know how she is. I felt terrible when I got Edsel's collar on and Lu stood there like, "Lu go bareback today? Why no collar for Lu? Surely Lu not being left. Lu here first. Where you taking that teeny jerk?"

I told Lu to stop calling me Shirley and bolted out the door. Poor Talu.

Anyway. Introductions were made.

Finn was ready to play immediately and Edsel was all, "edsel no u? who u? why you spotty and not blonde like normal dog? edsel fear forinn dog."

"okay, it seven seconds later. edsel play. edsel over xenophobia."

"let play like mad men and stomp over chile!"

"okay!"

"dis fun. edsel enjoy. here my tongue."

"here MY tongue! okay, more stomp on chile!"

Incidentally, someone may want to call Child Protective Services on Chatting.

Chatting/Emily=Chatmily pointed out that we each matched our dogs. I do not know why Edsel looks so melancholy in photos so often. I promise you he is a happy dog in real life. And look at Finn! Who is making Chatmily get a DNA test on Finn? Who is certain Finn is Boston Terrier and, you know, something?

Her husband, Mr. Chatting, thinks he's Boston Terrier/tuxedo tabby cat. I am thinking Mr. Chat is touched in the head. Although that dog DOES have a Francis look about him. Heaven help that family...

On the ride home, I looked over and Edsel was sleeping sitting up. I think he had a successful play date.

Thanks for letting us come over, Chatting family! Although this was probably our last date, since I just insinuated you put your kid in a dog crate and that Mr. Chatting is nuts. Way to make friends and influence people!

The End (Finn)

P.S. You know what I am? Annoying. I wanted to mention that this week we do not have comment of the week but rather blog of the week. Because what Mrs. Oh did with Hulk's photo had to get a special mention.

Okay, really the end. (Finn)

 

Comments

[Lisa Pie almost took home 2 black kittens yesterday from the vet's office. Thanks to God some other sucker got them before I was ready to check out.]

Look at Finn's freckles! Precious is what they are!

Oh, this dog play date thing has had me laughing all day. Finn is still asleep from it all. - And Edsel may look melancholy in photos, but Finn always looks blind so, you know. I'd take sad over sightless any day.

We loved having you.

[Duffylou - cute doggies, big smiles]

Such cute pictures. Wow. Your dogs get play dates with whole families. I can't even get a real lunch date. Could it be because I'm not blond? Freckles, hunh? Do age spots count?

And is there anything cuter than the tip of Edsel's little tongue over his under bite?

[regular JoAnn Who Has Nothing Interesting To Say]

Hilarious!
And I checked out Mrs. Oh
Oh, My.
That was worth the trip.

[Anita who is puppyless :(]

Look at Edsel's ears flapping when he runs. He may just take flight one day. Freckled Finn is pretty darn cute too.

[Hulk (Who's given up...)]

Thanks. Because I've given up.

[Diane]

The combination of the words "teeny" and "jerk" really made me laugh. Poor Lu.

[Your Pal from MA]

So adorable...Edsel looks exceptionally happy in a few of those pictures - especially the "Here my tongue" picture! That's one happy puppy!

Chatting's puppy is darn cute, too! He matches my black and white doggies, freckles and all!

[Barb from Milwaukee]

I like the way the little guy is looking at you in the first picture. Love Love

[Dawn in Austin is having major puppy envy today]

I'm thinking Finn has border collie in him. Border collies are very smart. Compared to a bulldog, a sponge is pretty smart, so really I don't know how smart border collies are.

[June Gardens]

Dawn, I also too said Border Collie! We will just have to see if we are right.

[Sadie (remind me to never look at June funny...or to make her mother mad.)]

Looks like a good time was had by all. The little boy in the first picture looks like he's thinking, "Who are you? And why are you taking my picture?"

And, for that, you put him in a cage?

[Tiffaney lovin the puppy pics today]

Cute trench, June! You look adorable.
And Edsel just slays me. *sigh*

[twelvedaysold]

You do look like your dogs! I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not, but you look great in photos.

[Emily@remodelingthislife]

I laughed out loud when I read that you matched your dogs and then looked up again at the pic. Too funny!!

[Lisa]

Nice use of "xenophobia" haha - I have to teach my 11th grade US History students this word and they never remember it, I might have to use your blog to teach it to them!! :)

[Chrissy]

Ridiculously cute puppies ... sweet kids ... fun playdate ... but Mrs. Oh's website. The best laugh I've had all day. AWESOMENESS, Mrs. Oh. Pure awesomeness.

[Mrs. Oh waves like the Queen of England!]

Holy Snicker bars! Do I have to make nice comments about the puppies before I get to my acceptance speech!? Seriously though last week I actually stomped my foot at my desk and thought I would never win some dang mixer or photo contest or whatever over at Pioneer Woman....this is actually better :)
