Do You Have An Amazing or Humorous Dog Story?

Frodo's Nightly Adventure

One night while my husband and I were sleeping, our dog Frodo walked to the end of the bed and began crying very loudly. At first, we thought he needed to go out again, but we reassured each other he was taken out right before bed time. Finally, I got out of bed. Frodo quickly jumped down after me and followed me down the hall. By the time I got to the back door, I noticed that Frodo was not with me. He had taken a stop-off at the water bowl and was drinking furiously. After I refilled his bowl the second time, Frodo began walking down the hall, stopped, looked back to make sure I was coming, and put his paws back on the side of the bed to get up.

My husband and I thought that this was an unusual event that wouldn't happen again. We were wrong. About 2-3 times a week we must go through the same routine together. Frodo just doesn't seem to like walking down the hall in the middle of the night by himself. Even though we bought him a night light.

Nurturing Yorkie

I have a 2 year old Yorkshire Terrier named Debbie's Dream Priscilla. Most of the time she is called either Prissy or Poo. She is the apple of our eyes and she knows it. In May of this year, my husband had a heart attack. Prissy usually sleeps with us at the foot of the bed, under the covers. The night of his attack though, she slept by his side and whenever he moved, she would get closer. Now when he makes any kind of sound, no matter where she is, she comes running to her daddy and starts licking him all over his face. He'll tell her he's ok, she'll stop to look at him, then start again.

It's like she is saying I'll take care of you like you took care of me when I was so sick. She had to have surgery for a liver shunt at 13 weeks. She is definately our little girl and has brought us much joy and laughter.

Tyler, The Hungry German Shepherd

Our German Shepherd, Tyler, has been on predisone recently because of an illness. Tyler is a large dog, as tall as a kitchen table and 120 pounds. The vet told us he would have a larger than usual appetite because of the medication, but DO NOT feed him any more than usual. I came home from work recently and decided to make a sandwich. I searched unsuccessfully for the loaf of bread I bought the night before which I knew I had placed on the kitchen table. I finally settled on something else for lunch. When heading to the mail box for that day's mail I found the bread wrapper crumpled by the front door, with only a heel left in the package. The next day I came home and found that Tyler had figured out how to pull open the kitchen drawer that we keep our snacks in and devoured a half full bag of Frito's, some cookies and a package of nuts! Needless to say...the kitchen is now blocked off when Tyler is home alone!!
