DOG LAUGHS

 

PLEASE help me realize my lifelong dream to meet Alice Cooper backstage at a concert.

A VIP backstage pass costs $500 and I don't have it and probably never will.

Anything you can spare will be greatly appreciated!

CURRENT MOON

Thank you!

Bless the beasts and children; they have no voice, they have no choice.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE TOO MANY DOGS?


1. When you have more grass in your driveway than in your backyard.

2. When your neighbors find ANY dog running loose and automatically bring it to your house.

3. When you want to watch TV and you have to sit on the floor because all of the furniture is "occupied".

4. When it takes you longer to wash your dogs' dishes than your own.

5. When you have to use a wash tub for a water dish.

6. When you have to run an obstacle course to get to the phone.

7. When you see one of your dogs doing something bad (like chewing something up or leaving a "dog deposit" on the rug) and you have to run through the entire list of dogs' names in order to yell at the right one and by then it is too late.

8. When the hazmat team comes to your house on trash day to handle the "deposits" that you have placed in your trash can.

9. When you have all of your dogs in the back seat of your car and it automatically changes lanes when they move to the other side of the car.

10. When you NEVER go anywhere for a vacation because it costs more to kennel your dogs than to go to Hawaii.

11. When you have an extension on your king-sized bed so you all fit.

12. When the dog food store makes home deliveries.

13. When you move your bedroom into the garage and put a king and queen sized bed together so all of your dogs can sleep with you.

14. When you can't remember all of your dogs' names and just call them Baby and Pup-Pup.

15. When you take your dogs for a run in the park and people think it's a dog show.

Sir, this is a unique dog. He does not live by tooth or fang. He respects the right of cats to be cats although he doesn’t admire them. He turns his steps rather than disturb an earnest caterpillar.

MIND GAMES DOGS PLAY WITH HUMANS


After your humans give you a bath, DON'T LET THEM TOWEL DRY YOU! Instead, run to their bed, jump up and dry yourself off on the sheets. This is especially good if it's right before your humans bedtime.


Act like a convicted criminal. When the humans come home, put your ears back, tail between your legs, chin down and act as if you have done something really bad. Then, watch as the humans frantically search the house for the damage they think you have caused. (Note: This only works when you have done absolutely nothing wrong.)


Let the humans teach you a brand new trick. Learn it perfectly. Then the humans try to demonstrate it to someone else, stare blankly back at the humans. Pretend you have no idea what they're talking about.


Make your humans be patient. When you go outside to go pee, sniff around the entire yard as your humans wait. Act as if the spot you choose to go pee will ultimately decide the fate of the earth.


Draw attention to the human. When out for a walk always pick the busiest, most visible spot to go poop. Take your time and make sure everyone watches. This works particularly well if your humans have forgotten to bring a plastic bag.


When out for a walk, alternate between choking and coughing every time a strange human walks by.


Make your own rules. Don't always bring back the stick when playing fetch with the humans. Make them go and chase it once in a while.


Hide from your humans. When your humans come home, don't greet them at the door. Instead, hide from them, and make them think something terrible has happened to you. (Don't reappear until one of your humans is panic-stricken and close to tears).


When your human calls you to come back in, always take your time. Walk as slowly as possible back to the door.


Wake up twenty minutes before the alarm clock is set to go off and make the humans take you out for your morning pee. As soon as you get back inside, fall asleep. (Humans can rarely fall back asleep after going outside, this will drive them nuts!)


This website is a tribute to the wonderful Ibizan Hound and not a for-profit or show venture.

If you'd like to see *your* Ibizan featured on a special "Beloved Beezer Pets" page, please feel free to submit photos of your Ibizan to the webmaster via the link below.

They don't need to be "fancy" show poses or professional quality stuff.

In fact, I'd be thrilled to have informal snapshots and photos of all the "regular" Ibizans who are still 'champions' in their devoted human's heart.

I hope you enjoyed your visit and y'all come back now, ya hear?......:)
