See I can be a good boy… most of the time anyway. But on this particular day, I had the patience of a saint! Really I did. Remember last Sunday being Mother’s Day? Well, the one thing that my mommy doesn’t get a lot of is sleeping in on the weekends. So Sunday, daddy got all of us up and out of the bedroom so mom could just sleep in. He fed us all and we tried to stay quiet. Of course daddy feeding us isn’t the same as mommy feeding us and talking to us. But we gave her a day.
I sat patiently on daddy and the side of the couch waiting for mom to come out of their bedroom and down the hall. I was on guard waiting… waiting… and then waiting some more… and then it happened.
Mom came out of the bedroom!
I’m not sure which one of us was more happy. We barked, grunted and meowed and then dad grunted cause he was happy mommy was finally going to take him out to eat… of course her choice of restaurant for her day. And then, you know letting those two out together there is going to be some trouble. Check out the video they made Mother’s Day. Shaking my head. Even after almost 30 years, those two are gross.
OMD! You are not going to believe what I’m fixing to tell you my friends. I’m so excited. Really I am. See me all stretched out there on my ottoman? I’m watching television. Not just any show though. Mom couldn’t sleep one night – go figure – so she was surfing the channels on the television and came across something amazing. How amazing you ask?! Out of this world amazing. You see there is a channel specifically for us pooches. It’s called DogTV. Have you heard of it? OMD – it’s amazing! It’s specifically for dogs who are left alone during the day/night so it can help with separation anxieties. They have different shows – relaxation, stimulation, soothing music to help your dog sleep and all kinds of other videos. Now you are probably laughing and wondering does it work though?
Mom tried it on me the other night. I watched. I mean I really watched. The color of the videos are more towards dog vision and the music is so comforting. I actually fell asleep. It was awesome! You don’t believe me though, do you? Okay – I found a short video on You Tube so I can show you. Check it out – this is relaxation.
What did you think my friends? Wasn’t it soothing? I admit it. It actually put my dad to sleep. Barks and rolls with puppy laughter. But it works, right? Show it to your pooch and see what happens. Now, I leave you with Jokes with Dad. Hope you have a great weekend!! ❤
