Back Away From The Brush
His Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey has many rules for the humans. Much to his frustration, they don’t pay much attention to his royal demands. For example, he thinks the loose floof in his coat should fall naturally to the ground decorating the floor with tumbleweeds. If Hu-Dad attempts to brush him, Typhoon screams. In this case, Ty senses the Hu-Dad was hiding a brush behind his back, so our Little Prince decided escaping to the far end of the deck was wise. Yes, he is demanding Hu-Dad back away from the brush.

Caption This: Early Frankie
Our senior-most pup is out in the yard early in the morning, sunrise glistening off his coat. He notices the photographer (aka, Hu-Dad) taking a few pictures, but doesn’t seem impressed. But today is Friday, so it’s Caption This day. Come on, Dear Readers, what thoughts are Frankie Suave sharing with the Hu-Dad?

Kick With Abandon
Our Little Prince does not believe in doing things half-heartedly (as long as you don’t count obeying the humans). When he kicks to spread his manly scent, he has to do it with style, with pizzazz, with gusto. Yes, he lives a life philosophy of kick with abandon.

Offsides Snooter On The Play
We know you will be shocked to hear a squirrel was outside our fence. And even further shocked to discover Roscoe was fixated on the squirrel. But are you surprised to discover that our referee called an offsides snooter on the play? Sorry, Roscoe, but our instant replay (aka, Hu-Dad’s photograph) proves the infraction. That will require an additional five yards from the squirrel.

Morning Squirrel Sentry
Our readers have probably noticed a slight interest in squirrels from our Dear Roscoe P. Maybe “interest” isn’t a strong enough word. Let’s call it an obsession. In this case, our morning squirrel sentry is searching for any possible slip-up by the tree rats, but, alas, Roscoe is learning the early bird may get the worm, but the early canine does not get the squirrel. At least not this time.

Squirrel Stare
The tree rats fascinate Roscoe P. He does his best to convince them to come just inside the fence so they can “play,” but the squirrels—wisely—decline the invitation. Unfortunately, that leaves our hero with nothing to do but the squirrel stare.

A Noise In The Forest
A snap of a twig. A rustle of leaves. A noise in the forest. Our heroes stop what they are doing and stare into the murky woods. What evil lurks in the dark shadows? In this case, of course, it was a dreaded…squirrel.

Instigator
When bestest buddies His Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey and Roscoe P. break out into a wrestling match, who is the instigator? Sure, you might think the younger Roscoe would start things. Surely the Royal Squirt wouldn’t be behind the mischief. Our photo today reveals all. Denials will be issued shortly.

Stressful Weekend
Boom Boom wants everyone to know how hard his life is. He only gets two long walks a day for about five miles total. He only gets fed twice a day. His pillow fell in the floor and no one has put it back under his head. And this couch is so narrow his feety-feet are hanging off the edge. If those things don’t add up to yet another stressful weekend, he doesn’t know what does. He requests your expressions of sympathy.

Clash Of The Titans
His Highness Little Prince Typhoon Phooey and his bestest buddy Roscoe P. wrestle, play, chase, and generally create havoc together. Hu-Dad asked them to sit nicely for a photo-op, so, of course, a full-scale clash of the titans match broke out in the yard. Some day we will share a sit-nicely photo. Not today.

Caption This: Resisting The Brown Eyes
Frankie Suave is cool and calm about most anything, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t expressive. When he wants something, from his Hu-Dad, he pulls out his ultimate weapon—the head in the lap and soulful brown eyes. The fact Hu-Dad’s lap was blocked by this bench arm wasn’t an issue. How could anyone get away with resisting the brown eyes of Mr. Suave? In this week’s caption this, what was Frankie’s request? Let’s hear your best answers.
