Anyone who has come to my house quickly realize my dogs think they are human. Here lately, I realized just how much human tendiences *however you spell it* they have taken on in their personailities.

One of Q15's daily chores is to feed the dogs as soon as he gets home from school. On the days that Speedbump picks him up and takes him back to work with him my dogs know something isn't right.
Today for example, Speed picked up Q15 from school because I had to pick up neighborhood kids and run some errands. My poochies seem to know time if not only from their tummies saw me leave around my regular "school" pick up times. When I got home they were all excited and talkative because to them that meant dinner time.
Well the kids came inside and they sniffed and snorted and quickly realized Q15 was not in the mix of kids trampling through their house. All three of them walked into the laundry room, where the door leads to the garage where we enter the house, stood there cute as a button, snorting and taking turns scratching the garage door. In their minds surely Q15 was playing tricks on them and hiding behind the door.
What made this site so cute is really a visual that I didn't take the chance for the kodack moment - so work with me - I have three dogs of different breeds. Chance, my gay dog :biggrin, is a chow collie mix. He looks like a fox. He is the same color of a fox with perky ears and the long nose of a collie with black tip markings and the smallest in weight of all three of the dogs. Bruno, is a black lab, who is the one who suffers from epilipsey. He himself is 120 lbs and that is when he is forced to go on a diet. Yes, dogs have to diet also, much to Bruno's disappointment. Then there is Charlie, my Shar Pai, whom I always call the contacerious *however you spell it* asshole of the bunch. He also is over 120 lbs. So for them to act like they are starving is comical to say the least!!!
On the days when Q15 is late and they do their ritual at the door waiting for him and realize he isn't playing games he really isn't home. They quickly come and seek me out. Charlie will snort, growl and scratch at me like "I've" done something terrible to Q15. Bruno just whimpers and sounds like a baby crying and will just look at me with those big brown puppy dog eyes. Chance just jumps around the house barking loudly showing his displeasure. And the whole time Little Ms. Prissy Princess is screaming 'WILL YOU DOGS SHUT UP!!!'
All three are now laying around my feet whimpering and thank goodness Q15 will be home soon...........
Ohhhh to only have my dogs life and the only worry to have is my meal being late *frown*.
After a certain time, if my dogs are not fed, Suzie does what I call her 'plea barking' which usually gets dinner on the table in a jiffy. Yes, they can tell time....I suppose it is a function of their stomachs.
