I Love Hobbes Thursday

Why so glum, you ask?


Because we have a visitor....


A barky, hey-he-takes-my-spot-on-the-bed kinda visitor.

And while the rest of the family loves having the Wiener Dog here, Hobbes isn't quite so sure. He isn't fond of the litter box being up on the dryer or the cat food on the counter. He doesn't like somebody else sniffing around his butterflies or pooping in his yard.

I think he just doesn't like somebody else getting all the attention.

Oh poor Hobbes. He just doesn't know if you put the word out we'd be lining up to see HIM not weiner dog!!

DG at Diary of a Mad Bathroom said...

They could be a central states Brownie and Spike. Encourage the inter-species lovin. It's so dang entertaining.

Daisy said...

Ooooh, Hobbes, I don't blame you! I hate any changes in my routine.

Princess Stupidhead said...

I totally understand, Hobbes. I think I have the same look sometimes.

Catherine said...

It is hard to share your space with someone when you're not used to it. Hopefully sweet Hobbes can tuff it out until the pup leaves! After all, doing your 'business' on top of the dryer where your little box has been moved, high enough for all to see, must be a bit embarrassing! :) Poor Hobbes!

I know I would hate to climb up on the dryer to use the toilet.

vanilla said...

A dachshund certainly has a way of drawing attention to itself. But, Hobbes, this too, shall pass.

cardiogirl said...

I'm so surprised the Wiener Dog feels comfortable enough to sleep in a foreign bed with foreign humans. He's a trusting soul, eh?

Sharkbytes said...

Poor Hobbes. He's too used to being the Prince. Weiner Dog looks friendly, though.

Secondary Roads said...

Poor Hobbes to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune (in the form of Barky). Just listen to Hoosier Daddy (Vanilla) and know that this too shall pass.

blueviolet said...

Now be nice, Hobbes. It's only temporary.

JODI said...

I love when weiner dog makes his appearance your house. It seems Hobbes has a little Grace-esque in him. To want to be accepted means you have to accept others, Hobbes!

Sparkle said...

That is the weirdest looking dog I've ever seen. I would not like to have him at my house either

BeadedTail said...

Poor Hobbes! Hopefully the Weiner Dog isn't there for an extended stay. As least not on laundry day!

Helene--The only fun Hobbes is having is teasing that poor dog. He follows the dog around, daring him to do something about it. Ugh.

DG--I think Hobbes wants to be friends, but Sammy isn't so sure. They spend a lot of time avoiding each other.

Daisy--Hobbes is all weirded out while Sammy is here, but then he goes looking for him when he's gone. Go figure!

Princess--Me too. Except he can't have a cocktail to make it go away.

Catherine--The kitties spend the whole time on the counters looking down on the poor dog anyway, so I don't think putting up their food and litter is really a big deal. I think they do that for drama. I actually feel sorry for the dog!

Highway--I don't think I could!

Vanilla--Oh yeah, Sammy goes home and then the kitties are looking for him. I think they like having someone to tease.

CG--He has been staying with us since he was very young, so we are sort of his second family. He doesn't mind as much as we do.

Sharky--Sammy is very well-behaved and polite. It's the kitties who tease that poor dog! They like to intimidate him at every opportunity.

Chuck--And then he is looking for Sammy when he goes home. Oh, it just gives Hobbes something to do other than lay in the yard.

Violet--Yep. He's only here for a few days and then he comes back for a full week! I feel more sorry for the dog than the kitties.

Jodi--You sure can tell you work in a school! It sounds like you say that a thousand times a day. :)

Sparkle--He's actually a really nice dog and he knows to leave the kitties alone. The kitties are the bullies, Sparkle. They like to "boss" him around! Poor Sammy.

Beaded Tail--He's only here for a few days, but in a week or so, he's going to be here for a full week! He is a nice dog, but the kitties just love to tease him!

JODI said...

LOL Lin, my hubby told me tonight-- as I threatened to take his dinner table chair from him if he couldn't push it under the table when he got up-- that he was ready for school to start so I could lecture kids instead of him. Of course I just laughed at him when he said that.

Jennifer MacNeill-Traylor said...

Awww, nice weiner:) I tried to have a weiner dog once but my cat didn't come out of the closet for 3 weeks. It was really sad and not fair to her so I have the puppy back. Maybe someday.

Jen said...

Oh, but he is so cute. Not as cute as Hobbes of course but cute still. I would imagine you wouldn't have to put the food too high up.

Roschelle said...

Poor Hobbes...the things a man has to put up with....all in the name of peace.

SLColman said...

Poor Hobbes! Hopefully the visitor is only short term!

June Zach said...

So Hobbes now has someone to compete with in drawing one's attention! LOL

Rebecca Mecomber said...

Well, if I was Hobbes, I'd be mighty miffed. Skip the jealous attention-stealing... pooping on the yard is a Number One friendship killer.

Pricilla said...

Hobbes will survive just like he always does.

My niece was given a weiner dog as a birthday present. She named it Cooper as in Mini...

A.Marie said...

YAY! It's weiner dog....I just love that dog...Poor Hobbes, though...He is still #1 on my list! :)
