Unfairness and Injustice

The week passed at breakneck speed with work and vet appointments that I'll update you about later.  Computer problems arrived on Wednesday evening (thank-you Carl!) and he seems to have gotten it all sorted out for me since he was the one that caused it. (Below, another appearance of our resident Barred Owl yesterday.  I was only able to snap 2 photos before my camera battery died.)
My day off on Thursday that was supposed to be a relatively uneventful one, turned out to anything but that. It ended with my making a cinnamon creme coffee cake for a co-workers birthday that I baked in a pan that was too small.  The result was a smoke filled house that the Golden's didn't seem too worried about, despite the smoke alarms going off more than once.  I think they were hoping for a bite of whatever it was that was burning at the bottom of the oven.  (recipe here)
Todd however, refused to come back inside until the smoke cleared. I decided it was because he knew better than to come running back into what he thought was a burning house.  He's smart that way.  
The week ended with another visit from the holistic vet to see Gus. As I mentioned last week, Gus really enjoys the extra attention and the treatments.
The other dogs however, as you can hear below in the video, vocally protest to what they see as an injustice of being put into the office while Dr.E is here. Cissy echoes in agreement to the unfairness of it all!

  1. Oh I can sympathize with the howling injustice of it all, being locked in the office for a short time. Tell your dogs patience is a virtue, ha ha.

  3. Gus is on the bed while I am reading your post. When he heard the video, he became quite concerned. They harmonize very well, however! I guess g
    Gus just ignores their cries and enjoys his treatment!
    Thanks for including the recipe. I have been trying to think of something sweet to make.
    Good picture of Todd. He is so precious.

  11. Jill was quite interested in the chorus of woes, although she didn't join in, maybe what they were singing about wasn't very happy to her? Perhaps she didn't understand their east coast dialect?

  12. Surely that was just you testing the smoke alarms like you're supposed to?

  14. That Todd sure is a smart one. Sorry about your cake. Were you able to eat what didn't spill out of the pan?

  15. All our smoke detectors are wired together and if they go off Lucy goes ballistic. We make sure to change the batteries when she is at the groomer. Love the doggie lament of being left out.

  16. Loved the video. My Roscoe came over to where I was to see what was going on when I turned the video on. Very cute. Ana

  17. We used to put the other dogs on the deck when Bentley had his acupuncture treatments. They sat and watched thru the door. Then the doctor started bringing her dog and he sat on the deck and watched, too.

  18. Todd is such a smart boy! And I'm so glad that Gus is getting the extra attention, even if the rest of the pack feels banished!

  22. The sound of Christmas howling . Almost like an angel choir. There again perhaps that's pushing it too far !

  23. Do the rest of them think Gus is getting too spoiled, or do they just want to look and see what's going on with him and the vet? I always knew Todd was smart. You can just look at him and tell.

  24. BOL - is the little yip Todd? Monty and Harlow whine if they get shut out of things too.

  25. I feel your pain on the computer issue . . . technology can be such a stressor. This morning I started the day off shattering my iPhone screen. That's my second screen in under a year - and I had a good case on! Darn it.

    That photo of Gus makes me want to grab a pillow and blanket and just curl up next to him. Minus the howling of course (which sounds a lot like my house) . . . and perhaps a slice of cake to boot. :-)

    You do have a vocal group there! Guess they would like some treats and treatments too!
