Chance: Summertime Treats

Hiya!  It is me Chance, possibly the smartest most handsome blogging Border Collie  in all of Minnesota.

I have had a good summer…full of all kinds of treats.  I get to lick all of the ice cream off the bottom of a Sundae cup at Dairy Queen…only Far Side’s Cherry Sundae..not Far Guys Hot Chocolate one…it is a rule.  I get to go to the lake and play in the water sometimes in the evening.  I chase squirrels and crows and chipmunks, if they come in my yard I chase them away.

I have my own private pool.

Chance and Summer

That’s it in the background..it sits on a concrete slab so it doesn’t kill the grass.

Chance and his pool

Far Guy keeps it full of clean water.  Far Side says that next year I need a new pool cause this one has seen better days. That blue Maxwell House Coffee container is my drinking water.  I share with birds that think it is their private water supply.

I love my pool.

Last night at supper I could barely contain myself.  I knew what was on the menu ..I watched Far Side shuck some corn… I heard them talking about how good it was..then I heard them gnawing on those cobs and I could smell that fresh cooked corn..and I did it..I yipped…to remind them that “Hey I like corn too!” 

Chance and the corn

I have watched them eat corn on the cob for years.  I know how to eat it too..Far Guy holds the cob and I bite the corn off with my front teeth. I am a corn eating machine, sometimes Far Guy cannot turn the cob fast enough for me!  I love corn on the cob almost as much as spaghetti squash.  I would eat the whole cob if they would let me.

What kind of summertime treats do your dogs like? :)

    ice cubes! we have to lock the ice dispenser on the fridge door because they will help themselves if we don’t

  2. Chance—- our Border Collie Mac loved to eat fresh raspberries out in the garden if we picked them for him.

    My Corgi Bailey loves fresh cucumbers from the garden, or a pea pod. He anxiously awaits a treat whenever I go in and I have been getting short but fat cukes, so he gets 1 and goes off and does his Corgi dance over it and then eats it. He also loves raspberries.

    my schnucher, Jake loves cucumbers and I mean loves them he will pick them out of my raised garden and lay down and chow out on one, or when I am cutting them up he will eat the peels and wait for a slice. He has now taught my scottie how to eat them too.
