The Pepperoni Pup


There are two pieces of pepperoni on Liam's plate. I do not think that anyone else has noticed this. And I am sure that no one knows what I am thinking about doing, because I am playing it off so well.
Yes. Pepperoni and cheese. These are two of my favorite things.
Two things about having a very short muzzle is that it makes you very cute, but it can be difficult to pick up pepperoni on a slippery plate. I am quite sure now that nobody else wants this pepperoni, or someone would have said something.
I have to be very discreet about this. I would not want anyone to think that I was stealing the pepperoni. The American Gentleman never steals. He samples.

I really must get better leverage. At the risk of looking like I am stealing it ( which I am certainly not, I am only tasting it) I will very quickly get a paw up on the table and get....the....damn....pepperoni....steady... now.....ummmph!

Oh, the farts I will produce with the sweet spicy fuel of preserved meats! That was delicious, and I believe I have completely gotten away with it. She is still taking pictures and she is laughing now, and she has not said my name in an unpleasant way, even once. Life is very good.
What? WHAT?

Oh, you just know I have to say it...

Bad Chet! Stealing is wrong.

Bad Zick! for letting your dog steal. Everything you do, or don't do, is dog training. (Of course, the photo series and accompanying dog thoughts are hysterically funny!)

So - How bad were the gaseous emanations?

~Kathi, whose love of funny dog photos is at war with her knowledge that spicy, preserved meat-like substances, though tasty, are bad for dogs

Simply priceless, from one who appreciates discreet but gassy Bostons!

This is just what I needed on this dreary morning at the office.

Beloved Katdoc,

It's a risk-benefit situation. Is the potential benefit (a morning laugh hit me, and for thousands of coffee-sipping blog addicts)worth the risk (that Baker will turn into a liar and thief or suffer pepperoni poisoning from two pieces of spicy meat)? I dunno. In a parallel situation, I let my kids make outrageous scatalogical jokes and say some cuss words at home, but they know they can't use them in public. In cases like this, humor reigns supreme over good sense and propriety, and I freely don the handcuffs, believing that both my dog and kids have an inner light, fed in part by humor and joie de vivre, that will always outshine the darkness.

The farts weren't much different.
XO, JZ

It is stories like this that keep me coming back to read the JZ blog.
And I think rondeau ric said it all--nothing else to add.

chortle! Thanks for the laugh. Thankfully, I saw it coming and narrowly avoided spraying coffee all over my computer!

Ahh, coffee and Baker...
LOL- this one made tears squirt out of my eyes! Thanks for the morning jump-start!!
I think Ric has coined a new catch phrase-

Not only did you capture Chet's expressions, you captured his "voice" as well.

A great story to read over a morning cup of tea.

You are obviously a lot nicer to Chet than we are to Polly. She's not even allowed on the chairs let alone to sample so bravely from the table. I'm not ever going to read this blog again when my dog is in the room. She'll get ideas above her station.

Between yesterday's blog and todays I am in BT heaven. Being of unsound mind I do advocate goodie theft within reason...however Chili is not allowed on the table unless it not she is in a bowl. Thanks for the giggle and the Baker fix! Don't you just love those expressive faces?

Seriously, there NEEDS to be a children's picture book starring Chet Baker. Or a series of books.
Seriously.

Wendi, who spent the day at a family funeral and still cracked up laughing when she saw this photo/story. Kiss that Shortstop for me.

Well, until there's a children's book featuring Chet, there's Walter the Farting Dog -- banned at a school libray near you!

He is soooo cute!

Is it weird to be so enamored of a dog? I think not. I love Chet Baker.

Play Roulette for free as often as you like, get a feel for the game and how to place you bets.
Free Roulette is a great game with many ways to bet so learn strategy and have fun.

Roulette is a casino and gambling game named after the French word meaning "small wheel".

The roulette wheel is believed to be a fusion of the English wheel games ... The American style roulette table with a wheel at one end is now used in most casinos.

Is a Free Roulette Systems 100% Effective Or Should I Pay For One?

They are a dime a dozen, but there are only a few
roulette strategies that really work. Also I think it is great if you
can find a Winning Roulette Systems, because these roulette systems really do beat the wheel time and tiem again.
