I have met Mufsa and I can tell you first hand nowhere is safe from that dog. He is the the king of stealing food!!

My Mancherster Terrier, Arielle, can climb the highest heights and reach the lowest lows! Nothing is “sacred” to her. But what a kissing, cuddling, loving brat she is at 9 months old.
I have 3 Min Pins too, but contrary to what people think (and what many MinPins are) they are calm, loveable and never bother anything.
No one ever draws Min Pins–wish we’d get one here on Draw the Dog. They are great mole dogs! We have a jillion moles in our yard and so far this past year they have killed 8. they don’t eat them, just kill them. A great help to my flower gardens–which the Manchester digs up.

That is so Mufasa!!! He will stare you down relentlessly until you relinquish any food you have! What a love!

I am so, so thankful I have Yorkshire Terriers. Although they are jumpers – but I don’t think so! J

Last year, we were having a barbecue with friends. I have an inside barbecue pit, so we left sausages, vegetables and the main course – a very large pork loin – on the table, and the doors to the room were closed. Someone went there to get something, forgot the door ajar, and Igor, my Boston Great Dane, got in and stole the whole thing! I imagine he had an accomplice, Natasha, his Merlin companion. We had to improvise another food and had a very good laugh at it!

That is priceless–glad my cockers don’t get on top of things–except our laps!!!

When I was a small child (many years ago), I let a neighbor’s German Shepherd into the house and she took the just cooked whole ham right off of the table. I do know there was no ham for us that day. Now I have a 5 pounder that I never have to worry about, although she thinks she’s a big girl.
Loved the drawing.

hahahahaha…that is soooo funny!!!

Kathy June 26, 2010 at 7:09 pm

I laughed right out loud!

LOL

Loved the drawing but I can not see the photo!

Olivia June 26, 2010 at 9:05 pm

Ditto, Heather: can’t see the photo, darn! I love how we see Musafa ON the fridge at the very END of the drawing. It wouldn’t be half so fun to see the whole illustration all at once; the anticipation of watching it unfold before our eyes is what “draws” me back to this site. :-)

The best solution to the “mole” problem or any other “pest” problem is to love them away, I found from reading and putting into practice this sweet little book, KINSHIP WITH ALL LIFE, written half-a-century ago by J. Allen Boone. (He was the dogsitter for canine silent film star Strongheart, a German Shepherd who, with the help of his kind Hollywood trainer, unlearned the harsh, deadening military training he had been given in Germany, beneath which had been buried his true soul and spirit and mind and life.)

Does anyone else besides me think it is bizarre that our culture accepts raising and killing intelligent, affectionate pigs to eat their flesh (see comments on pork loin and ham above) but would never do that to dogs, who are no different than pigs — other than that WE SAY THEY ARE?

Is there anyone in Draw the Dog land who wants to join me in moving away from violence and cold disdain and indifference for the REST of the beautiful, lovable creatures? I say this, out of love, not to start a war, just to turn on a light switch.

How did he get up there? Ed

Ohhh, Mufasa, you naughty dog – but, oh so smart!
