Tosh's Tails

Doggy Style

Recognition of the star that I am has arrived. I have been invited to attend a function as a "celebrity". Beagle Paws, is having a fundraiser in june and I have been asked to speak. After years of neglect, I am finally getting the respect I deserve. The fact that I cannot actually talk is a minor technicality. I will be heard.

Which is more than I can say for McCann. He's been reduced to a whisper since christmas. I have to admit, it was a relief for a while not to have to listen to his constant whining: "Who ate my slipper? Does this make my bum look big? Who Pooed on the driveway?" It does get tired pretty quick. But now I feel bad for the crotchety old misanthrope. One is what one does.

But enough about him. Let's focus on me. Now that I am famous, I shall require a proper entourage. And I don't mean those syncophantic Jonas blowing bumlickers you see at the grammys. I need me some real deal bitches who know how to do more than just bark.

and security. Big dogs command respect (ain't that right Mr. Mailman?)

and my own reality TV show. "Flavour of Bone"

and a rider. cat food, corona, and coconut cream pie.

and a Raise. Bellyrubs and Backscratches and the occasional pussy to chase.

and if McCann don't like it.....he can bite me.

Tread lightly, my dear pup, or you may find McCann (silently) throwing you into the dog house and leaving you there until your ego has deflated a tad.

(Although I'd kind of like to see the reality show :)

Don't pity the crotchety old misanthrope...the good fella needs your care and attention right now.

Beagle Paws is just the beginning but for the love of dog, don't let it all go to your canine head -- fame can be fleeting and Toshettes, fickle.

May you have many many years of fame before you.
All hail the Tosh.

Job Application/CornDog Resume:

CornDog wishes me to formally apply for a job (for her) in your entourage. There is only one problem I foresee if you hire her, she hates dogs. She only likes you because she doesn't believe you're a real dog, she thinks you are my computer monitor. She's not the brightest bulb in the canine world, but she's sweet. Just not to other dogs. To them she is a snarling ball of fangs who tries to murder everyone she sees, smells, or hears (unsuccessfully, so far). But she's pretty enough to be forgiven for her sociopathic behavior. I don't know where she learned it, she's been that way since I picked her up. When I first met her she had been returned to the shelter by the second family to adopt her. Had a weeping, infected sore under her ear, and assorted scratches on her face. Three stints in the big house, and the scars to prove it. I suspect she was taught a lesson she has no plans to ever forget. She's really good at all sorts of dog things: rear-end licking, jumping on the furniture with muddy paws, sticking her nose in inappropriate places, etc. She's never eaten anyone's slippers, but she'd be happy to take the blame if you wanted to. It would get her the much-coveted attention she is so desperate to have. Good attention, bad attention; doesn't matter, as long as she is the center of it. And she'd be fantastic for security, too. Half foxhound, half... I don't know... pitbull? crocodile? This bitch is the real deal. And her bite is worse than her bark. She won't let anyone near your cat food or bones. Not even you. But she won't let you chase the pussies. Cats she likes. Go figure.

Tosh,

Good to know you've "made it!" Enjoy the fruits of stardom while you can, it's all too fleeting. Looking forward to a photo of you at said affair.

Job Application  Flash Hound - a real bitch that does more.

This Bitch is all that and more. She is the distraction you need at the end of a long day, she will have kept your bed warm for you, your couch, the other couch , the spare bed, and your best blanket in the corner.  Sleeping is her main funtion with mind altering barking that can make the deaf want some peace. She will bark and dance around like a dog gone mad untill the w-a-l-k has tken place.  She will watch your treat cupboard like a hawk, and even teh slight movemnt towards this treat extravaganza will sound the alarm of "Flash Dance" she is a maniac after all.  

Flash will not chase way your pussy she will round it up and bring it in the doggy door for you,usually around 4 am so that her owners are then chasing pussy all over the house. Flash was also at a few other houses before she came to rest on all of our furniture. Flash is the most active bassett that our vet or any other owner has seen. (oh yeah its great)

Flash has the energy to keep going for you Tosh, plus she is a really good a making "sad" eyes to get all associataes out of trouble, those come in handy during kitchen talble and counter raids.  Flash offers one more bounus, being of hound decent, her scent is a large as she is, so you will be pleased to sniff her assets and can also blame much of the smell on her. Her nick name is Smelliet

Hi Tosh!  Glad to hear you're getting all the recognition you've deserved.  :)  But please pass a message on to Sean...whispering is actually harder on a strained voice than speaking, so don't let him whisper anymore, just write notes!  :)

Sean,

Congrats, but don't let the fame go to your head.  It's your dynamic personality and wonderful music that makes us all love you.  Too much egotism can actually be a turn off.  I've heard GBS fans say that one of the reasons they love you guys so much is that, despite fame and fortune, you've managed to remain humble.
