The Turtle :o)

Many years ago Rodney and I invested in a blue plastic turtle to use for back rubs. Of course this was a gimmick and after one use was downgraded to the nightstand drawer. About a year ago, I introduced this fabulous tool to Conan. He did not seem very interested in the turtle at the time so again, it was demoted to the the nightstand drawer. About three months ago, I started using the turtle to scratch Conan's belly. Conan seemed a little nervous at first, but relaxed into a deep coma of happiness as Mr. Turtle continued to rub his belly. Today, I was rubbing Rodney's back with Mr. Turtle when out of nowhere, a Scottie dog appeared. Conan threw himself between Rodney and I and demanded a belly rub from Mr. Turtle. I thought it was too precious that Conan knew his Turtle was in use, and he was not going to miss out on the action.

Shame on you for using Conan's turtle to rub Rodney's back.

LOL That's funny. Van's newest issue is being totally disgusted when Jim & I touch each other. Cuddling, hand holding and the worst offense kissing, send him running into corners of the house or standing up, putting his back to us and harumphing.

only one dog owner can truly understand the midnset and pshyce of another. I think Conan deserves the halloween experience. Pumpkins, costumes and for sure treats. I don't know about Conan but I can bet there won't be any 'Trickin' for Van--the cousin dog:)
