“Let the good times roll…”

(Enzo)

In posting these photos mum remembered the lyrics of that classic 1970’s song by “The Cars”.  The lyrics sort of fit what Enzo and I get up to when we each get a cardboard roll (the long tube from the inside of things like kitchen tin foil, Gladwrap plastic film, baking paper, etc.). Mum only saves the really tough ones, and when there are two tubes we both let the good times roll.

We leap about all excited, and I shred mine to pieces as fast as I can. Shredding things makes me so happy! Enzo runs outside and uses his roll as a stick for a game of fetch with the two legged ones. Eventually, when Enzo tires, I chase after him, bark loudly (hardly unable to contain my excitement), chase him around the lawn a few times, then steal his roll and shred it too!

Let the good times roll
Let them knock you around
Let the good times roll
Let them make you a clown
 



 
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair

 
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
 
Let the stories be told
They can say what they want
Let the photos be old
Let them show what they want 


 
 
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll-roll
Won't you let the good times roll...






Woofs,
Riley

Video of a three legged robber - so what do you steal?

We barked out loud at this news item about a dog here in New Zealand who was filmed stealing dog food from the local shop, while his owners were away on holiday.



Seeing Oscar made my mum think about how her first dog used to steal toast. Her old toaster would randomly fire pieces of toast onto the kitchen floor at a ratio of about one piece sent into the air for every six times she toasted bread. If she went out of the kitchen and toast fired onto the floor would diappear before she could get to it to give it to the birds!

Enzo is well known for his tissue stealing ability. No tissue is safe in the pockets of humans who are sitting down. He generally leaves most other things around the house, but if when he finds empty socks he takes them back to his bed!

So what do you steal, and have you ever been caught on camera?
