Hey, Ruby, what do you have in your mouth?
Oh, this little piece of paper?
You don't need all of it back do you?
I was bringing it to you. Honest. Would I lie?

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
Hu-Dad's Novels
His books pay for our food!
Don’t worry – as Lorenza says – a little tape is what it needs. Humans are too picky – aren’t they?

I totally believe Ruby!!! Are you kidding me? Look at that innocent face!

A counter surfer supreme, a trash tipper, a chair snatcher lie ??? Oh, I am going to have to think about that a little, Ruby!
Kisses,

I’m volunteering for poop scooping duties at your house.
Hmmm… just some tape and nobody will notice… that… errr…. well… maybe not… it is missing a little part…
Oh-oh!
Kisses and hugs

The look in that last pic is just priceless. And great title too. As a little pup, somehow Dakota got a couple of $20 bills, chewed them to smithereens. Mom put her puzzle-making skills to work and managed to get more than half of each put together – that was all the bank needed to salvage them:) Too bad she didn’t know way back then that one day she would have a blog where a pic would have made a great post like this.

The one and only time mom and dad ever let me sleep over at a friend’s house…I was a teething pup…I ate a $500 airline travel voucher! To this day Gordon still tells his wife he has no idea where that thing went…and how could she have lost it? Thank dog, he covered for me…it would take me a LONG time to earn enough to replace the one I left in shreds.
at least it was only a 5 dollar bill

As long as you have 51% of the bill you’re still good to go! haha
Ruby you sure know how to pick the paper to play with…

Gosh, Ruby – now THAT’s what I call counter-surfing!! π Did your humans know you have such expensive tastes? π

I know how woo feel, Ruby. Sometimes there just isn’t anything to eat in the house. Shopping trip!

Ruby, next time take the $5 to your dad and ask him to drive to the store and buy you some treats. No need to mention where the money came from.
Ruby was just being considerate and saving the Humans a trip to toy store to buy a toy that would be destroyed a quickly as the money; or Ruby was going to do 5 dollars worth of damage to the house anyway and decided to do the humans a favor.

I usually just counter surf the food but your givin’ me some good ideas here Ruby.
Many Thanks,

HAHAHA! We had a sibe years ago. One morning my husband went out to go to work and he said, “Honey, there are twenties all over the ground by my truck!” Well, it turned out that Miss Sneaky had stolen his money from the night stand and taken it outside! She would also climb up ON the counter to get the (human) cookies from on top of the fridge. My neighbors were once having a bar-b-que and rather than stealing from the grill, she just stole the spatula. What a silly girl. We miss her antics. We miss her.
well sanne doesnt like it if we eat money

Oh, we have one of those money hungry fur-kids at our house as well. I think I can give you a few tips on how to steal the wallet out of the back pocket. I did that to my Daddy and took 10 $100 dollar bills outside to show the neighbors. Good thing it was not windy or I would not have gotten any kibble for months. Amiee
psssst…. Ruby…you want the ones with Ben Franklins picture…
I wonder if she was going to bury it and watch a money tree grow. Nice thought, anyway……
At least is was only a five. Peanut loves to eat my mortgage check!!!!
Ha ha ha! At least it wasn’t a $100 bill! She has good taste.(Love the comment about hudad and the camera)
Drools and licks,
Minnie and Mack
We think Ruby was getting money so she could go to Pet Smart & get some treats!!!!! We never thought of doing that!!!!

At least it’s not like that dog where they had to recycle $200, if you know what I mean! Ruby obviously needs more bully sticks or something!
Wow Ruby…did you need to go buy yourself some new shoes?
Ah, a true husky hudad in action.
“Ohmigosh! The dog has MONEY in her mouth!!”
“Really!?!! Hang on a second while I get the camera!. . . “
It’s true. An estimated 4 out of 5 bills show trace amounts of cocaine. (http://www.snopes.com/business/money/cocaine.asp)
Did you catch Ruby doing zoomies out in the yard afterwards?
My Human Momma is ROFL and I am BOL! Between this and the “shirt” from yesterday our house is full of smiles!

P.S. Oh,yeh, it’s hard to find a place to walk where the wind won’t blow you away with the leaves. π Even when we go back to the shore after the holidays we’ll have almost constant winds off the water. π

Maybe Hu-dad can borrow Mango momma’s poop sifter. Like sifting for gold… that’s what the folks did way back when.

What an innocent look you have! I trust you, Ruby!
She’s not exactly happy with her allowance. Seems the hu-parents are on the cheap side. do you KNOW who much bully sticks go for these days? seesh. she’s right to protest.
Ruby… ruby… ruby… ruby. What would the world be like without you or Juno? Probably a whole LOT NEATER!

Our Monty dog (Alaskan Malamute) ripped the 9/11 report to shreds. Page by page. He did finger one terrorist.
