Tosh's Tails

Tosh (tells no) Tails #1

Woke up this morning with the unbelieveable urge to lick my balls.  

I know it drives McCann crazy, but I was absolutely compelled to do it.  

If he had caught me, it would have meant immediate eviction from the bed for sure, leaving room for that scheming Marley to suck up to the boss (as if he were never himself compelled). Luckily, the gnarly old bastard was in a scotch induced coma and probably wouldn’t have woken up had I pooped right on his swollen head.  

Funny thing, compulsions. You know they r bad for you but u just can’t resist. The lure of the cat’s food, the delicate bones of the chicken, the rotating tire, the backside aroma of the french poodle.....all bad. All equally irresistable.  

Last summer, Mccann left a full pot of pea soup on the counter and went out to play dinkies with the boy. It didn’t take me and Marley very long to get that upended and lick the floor clean. Burned my tongue and caught a mean case of the trots. McCann didn’t talk to me for days but you know what? I would do it again tomorrow...........with Bells on.  

Why r some lessons seemingly unlearnable? I mean, I manage to pee outside now (that wasn’t easy). I will offer a paw, sit, and rollover for a friggin buscuit. But frak me if I can’t keep my tongue out of a boiling pot of pea soup! Hopeless.

McCann’s no better. He still scarfs back a whiskey and a smoke whenever he thinks he can get away with it (which is never). He still can’t drive past Leo’s without getting face and eyes into a FCDG & FO (fish, chips, dressing, gravy, and fried onoins) even though his dad almost dropped dead after enjoying such a deadly feast. Talk about a lack of self control. The man has a friggin deathwish.  

But what do I know. I’m just a beagle.

All I wanna do is lick my balls.

Move over boys - there's a new badass heart breaker on the board!
Totally in love with you Tosh... (bad habits and all! lol)

This gave me a huge laugh on an otherwise crappy Monday morning!

Thanks for that!

Ignore them all, Tosh. I bet they'd all trade their opposable thumbs for your ability to . . . do that thing you do. And I bet you look a lot cuter doing it than THEY would.

Incidentally, my dog very quickly learned that, when company is over, and his little parlor tricks (sit, paw, hind legs) are in especially high demand, he can successfully hold out for a better treat than a biscuit. People food is not out of the question on such occasions. Try that sometime.

Sounds like McCann needs some training of his own.  You should look into obenience training.  Seriously.

There are some things for which there is no learning curve... for my Nikko that was peanut butter. A complete sucker for the stuff he'd nearly choke himself with his own tongue trying to get it off the roof of his mouth. Also had a thing for femme hygiene products... fortunately they come with strings attached for easy retrieval.

Tosh, I can totally relate.  Mine is something that would be deadly poison to you - CHOCOLATE.  I don't even have to buy it - folks know that if they want a favor, all they have to do is offer me some good chocolate preferably 65%.  Under is OK, above is too bitter, but nuts, fruit, bits of other candy mixed in - BRING IT ON!

For Smudge (he's - well, not a human and not a dog) it's SCRATCHING.  Not the furniture, not me, but himself.  I put anti-itch spell in his food and mash anti-itch potion on his itchies, and he still looks like Frankenfluff half the time.  I wish he just did what you do, but he was deprived of that option in his early life.

So, neither of us ever looks quite our best - I have to choose comfy rather than trendy clothing, and he just looks kinda beat up.  So look at it this way - at least you're just keeping clean!

Tosh, it wouldn't be any fun if you didn't run risks trying to do it (and he's probably just jealous because he can't).

Word of advice, stay away from cherry pies, no matter how tempting or you can forget about picking any females up on your walks. They'll smell the gas from a block away.

Everyone has vices, that's what makes us, well, us! When I lived in ?Germany, my dog, Otto, pulled down a whole glass dish of some really bad brownies and ate pretty much all there was! I kept a close eye on him, but it didn't seem like the goof ate any glass, he must have picked at it pretty good to avoid all of that! I'm sure Sean will forgive you- you've got great eyes, Tosh! Enjoy the soup, just keep the ball licking to a minimum- you might get chapped! Ouch!

Yummmm, Pea Soup....Carrots, ham bone, onion, a little garlic...a few split peas in a ten pound tub...water, a drop of wine, wait a few hours - and put up the doggie gates!

This is one lesson I have learned.

Years ago, Yankee, my in-law's dalmation, once ate the entire English Christmas Cake my MIL had made for my first x-mas with them.  The dog ate the whole heavy, dense fruitcake (sans marzipan and icing) fruit, nuts, rum, foil and all.  That was BAD. Really bad....don't try it.

Then there was the day Jake, our Chesapeake Lab ate an entire chicken carcass out of the trash - We had to cover the apartment in newspaper before we went to work for a week! Try to have some self control, Tosh, and fight the urge for some carc
ass.

Just a few weeks ago, Moe, our current Chocolate Lab came home dragging an elk leg bone from somewhere.  It was just nasty.  Every so often, it still is...

I dunno, I am neither male nor canine, so what do I know, but....
All things considered Tosh, balls seem like a good, and reasonable option to me.

Tosh, man, I wish I could say that I can't relate to your problems with self control.

For me, it's watching BSG reruns with a pint of Ben & Jerry's and a spoon.

For my orange tiger tomcat (who's really more like a labrador retriever) it's knocking his water dish across the kitchen floor.

We both know there are going to be repercussions (surprisingly, the tiger HATES getting WET) but we do it anyway...

They say, "If you can't be good, be careful..."  I think that means us.

My cat consumes used dryer sheets. We try to make sure they all make it to the trashcan post-delicate cycle, but somehow a few end up on the washroom floor. and the cat eats them. <p>

few things are less appetizing than watching a tabby hack up a used dryer sheet. <p>
If Pavlov's dog can learn to associate an A# with puppy chow, then one would think the feline could learn to associate eating the dryer sheet to the sensation of feeling it go in reverse. but no.

Wow, through a dog's point of view! Seems we now know what Mr McCann is up to these days! LOL! Anyways i'm sure Sean will be a little more wiser to keep the pea soup away from you now. Take care Tosh.

Woof!

Tosh, you have a face that could launch a thousand ships! That's got to be good for some soup now and then.

I think you and my cat Wolfie have something in common - hot food fresh off the stove!  Or in Wolfie's case, fresh ON the stove.  Crazy feline hasn't quite mastered the knack of staying off when I walk away from cooking for a moment or two.  But we've been lucky so far with only singed fur and no burns.  Other than his tongue the time he got into the freshly made beef and barley soup.

Maybe I should introduce him to my home-made pea soup next?  And save a bowl for you?

LOL You Go Tosh!  I say --- if you can get away with it. JUST DO IT!

Peeing outside is tough... particularly in the winter when you've got short little legs & your man bits drag in the snow.

Televison is a strange and magical prison for strangely dressed people who make loud noises... no point of entry, no means of escape. Sometimes the humans repeat what the people in the box say & it ends up as part of our finite vocab.
