Bella and the Buzzer
A Pooch Present That Puts Your Pet in Command
What did your dog get for Christmas? I suspect it was some chewy or edible item, since canines are more into treats than gaudy, holiday costumes.
My grand dog, Bella, got what she’s always wanted: a set of Dog Voice Training Buzzers. You record such words as: water, go out, doggie park, treat, walk and your pooch (after some training and considerable treats), learns to push the battery operated disc to issue a specific command. You learn to obey.
Bella mastered “treat” quickly and I’m sure her vocabulary will grow in the coming year.
While Bella was enjoying her Yuletide treat, the family did some treating themselves. A few photo below:
An Array of Yuletide Yummies
Austin’s cheese board made for a tasty and colorful platter.
Robin’s New England Clam Chowder, an annual favorite
Austin salad with feta, apple, arugula, squash, and nuts.
Pan de Yucca, a Colombian bread made with yucca flour and a cheese filling, that JC found frozen.
Andrew and Jacci’s scrumptious quiche.
If there were a buzzer button that read “All’s well that ends well,” I would have pushed it happily to describe the wonderful day with family.
Those Doggie Buzzers seem dangerous to me. Perhaps Bella will learn to put together a sentence such as, “Treat…go out….doggie park….walk….treat….treat….treat” She’s probably got the last part of that command down pat. Ooh, so there’re some more commands you can learn, “Scratch…..ear……belly”. My dog would have loved these Buzzers. And your Yuletide Yummies. Scrumptious Christmas feast, thanks, Jean. I especially appreciate the inventive variety on Austin’s cheese board and intend to mimic it as my offering for a New Year’s get-together. Thanks again!
I like the idea of composing sentences, too. I’m going to the doggie park with her today, a new place known as Bar-K. Should be fun.
As to the cheese board. I tend to over indulge before the main course, but they’re so tasty and colorful I can’t resist.
