Rusty’s Souvenir

As usual, Rusty was blazing his own trail during our walk Saturday evening.

So when he suddenly started walking quietly with everyone else, we knew something was up.

What could the Rooster possibly be up to?

And then we realized that he had picked up a little souvenir and was trying to smuggle it home.

Maybe he wanted us to put it in the freezer and save it for this summer.

Just a little snowball. Who would notice?

    That is so cute! My Scotti used to think icicles were sticks, so Rusty would be a dog after her own heart.

    I try picking up bits and pieces too on our walks with #1 and I just don’t understand how she always finds out!!!

    Woofs,

    That’s the smart boy, Rusty!!! Dakota used to like to find tennis balls and carry them all the way home too. We think Rusty could make quite the stash with all the snow you have there.

    Awwww….what a cutie. Sly….I have 7 kids and I know how hard to keep something to call your very own!

    Awww he’s so cute! I hope it made it home.

  19. Houndstooth on January 16, 2011 at 2:02 pm

    I thought it was a snowball in the first picture. Rusty, you really should have been hired by a circus as a clown! I hope they did save it in the freezer for you!

  20. Stumpy and cyndi on January 16, 2011 at 10:51 am

    ! hope Rusty will be able to enjoy his snowball this summer!

    One of the (many) reasons I am attracted to this lifestyle is that people are so accepting of dogs and 99.9% of the dogs are so well behaved and more important, socialized!

  21. achieve1dream on January 16, 2011 at 10:29 am

    That is so cute! You must have really good snow because that looks like a perfect snowball!

    That is too funny. I always have to check my older one when she is suddenly quiet and heads home dutifully with her head hung down and away from us.

  23. KB on January 16, 2011 at 9:45 am

    Thanks Rusty – you make me laugh! Did the humans put it in the freezer for you? Great idea…

  24. Sage on January 16, 2011 at 9:45 am

    That’s a purty pawsome treasure he has there!! I love the look in his eyes.

  27. Khumbu on January 16, 2011 at 6:48 am

    That’s so funny! Go Rusty! Hope you kepy your snowball OK!

  29. priscilla on January 16, 2011 at 5:55 am

    I hope he managed to keep his treasure!

  30. Carol's Critter Corner on January 16, 2011 at 4:09 am

    Perhaps he wanted to start building a small snowman!

  31. RADINKA on January 16, 2011 at 1:35 am

    a quiet (but awake) sibe ALWAYS equal mischief!
    So close Rusty..better luck next time!

  32. Canidae Pet Blog Editor on January 16, 2011 at 1:26 am

    Haha! I’ll bet his mouth was cold!

  33. Rachel on January 16, 2011 at 1:18 am

    That’s hysterical! You always have to worry when they get quiet and seem to behave.

  34. Terri Jacobson on January 16, 2011 at 1:03 am

    That is a riot. I hope you kept his treasure safe.
