Over at The Thundering Herd Annex, much is made of Ruby’s counter surfing skills and her ability to find trouble. So do you want to see what an incredibly rough life she leads? Tough, huh?

Cheoah
I hear and see ya! Tough indeed being cuddled and getting tummy and head rubs like dat…
cheers,
Max
Is that restraint or cuddles? Looks cosy anyways.
xxxx
Way to get the people right where you want them, Ruby!
Bunny
That is a very contented dog!
I get abused like that too -
It is simply horrible!
Hugz&Khysses,
Khyra
PeeEssWoo: My monitor shows a thought bubble of ‘what to snag next what to snag next’ or is it ‘I’ve SOOOO got these hoomans wrapped ’round my paws’
Looks like SUCH a hard life!!
Woofs and Kisses!
Oh that is just awful. I bet she gets tummy rubs too.
Kat
We feel your pain….it is so tough having such a rough life….ours is the same way having to cuddle on the couch & get head & chest rubs!!!!! Life is rough!!!
Woo Woo,
Kody & Nia
Nope. Not spoiled one bit. I just don’t see it.
Holly
OMG that is horrible! I can’t believe they would post such a picture with such horrific treatment! If these peoples knew what we had to put up with! Geez!!!
that is the life though you might like it better if you were up in AK with me right now!
Seems to us like the kind of life all of us pups should have.
Happy Friday, Phantom and Thunder
She has a nice headrub going on stimulating her canine brain into figuring out what she can get into next? Do I smell bread? Whats in that box? How soon can I go investigate?
Kisses,
Stella
No wonder she counter surfs so much. you’re starving her. and making her work so hard. Bring her over to Chez Wild Dingo. we’ll whip her into shape in no time and her counter surfing days will be over! Has she heard of the “skillet” yet? She can have Juno’s now, since Juno is only allowed to be trained with a wet noodle. sigh. go read our FB. about to pick up poor Juno from Dr. Hil’s… will make another great blog post, unfortunately!
Woo, Ruby! Do you need help with that snuggling? I’m really good at it. Seriously. Give me a call. I could spell you for a while.
Luv,
Dave
Yes, she needs to be rubbed ALL over her belly as well. Someone should get right to that!
Very tough life.
Stop it! I can’t watch any more of this. No more abuse!!! Chant with me: No more abuse! BOL
Twink!
It is a very hard life being a dog. Especially one that gets cuddles and annoyed and scratched (mmmmmm). So hard….
Hehe!!
Koda
Oh she’s got it ROUGH …
Wow…that sure is a lot of mud. It is so neat to see your herd walking together so well. I feel so out of control anytime we try to take more then 2 of our dogs out at once.
