Guardian Dog or Water Dog...You Decide

Perhaps I just find everything waaaaaayyy too amusing. (But again, I digress) However, these two Mastiff girlies just crack me up. They are true comedians of the finest order. Whenever we get ice from the icemaker...they line up to get their own cube of frozen delight. EVERY TIME! They have even taught an old dog a new trick. Because, Disney (our 10 yr old silky) now lines up to get his frozen treat too! ha!



This week they have added a new trick on their rotating list I call : "Things that a Mastiff Finds Entertaining" (And trust me, it's a long list.) This week, when the tub starts to fill....they come RUNNING! They wait paitiently for the tub to fill, and then they want their treat. They want cold tap water...in a cup!!! Take a gander: This is Harlow, hydrating herself from the blue cup. Is it just me or....or does it remind you of a calf drinking from a bottle?!! LOL!! Notice how sweet Ella is patiently waiting her turn. What a doll! Fiinnaaaaaallllllyyyyy...Harlow has had her fill. Now it is Ella's turn. (This next photo is blurry because I was laughing so hard) Notice how she puts her paw up on the tub to signal she NEEDS WATER! She too has known thirst....the poor, poor dear!!!

She proceeds to drink. This goes on for a long, long, long time. She may be smaller than Harlow, but she had one powerful thirst to conquer! I had no idea she was sooooooo thirsty! I also had no idea one dog could hold soooo much water! Note: she was also getting patted upon her little head everytime she drank water from the cup. With praise and giggles as motivation...she was quite anxious to please! ha!

At long last, her thirst was satisfied. Being the polite little girlie that she is, she gave her thanks to the little "Thirst Quencher" ...:

Sweet girl!.... Darling little waterboy!

Notice how wet her head is from all the drinking and praise: LOL!!!

If she could speak, I think she would quote Adam Sandler from the Waterboy:...." Now THAT'S some quality H2O!!!!! :D
