Playing, Protecting, Patiently Permitting...A Dog's "Grandkids"

Well, now I have TWO kids coming to see me from time to time! Whew! A Granddog's work is never done! Last weekend pack member Lauren brought both of them to see me. I felt so mature watching over the baby.
 I try to be very, very patient with little Mareto when he gets a bit rough, because everyone in the pack is helping him learn how to be good to me. And I know he loves me from the way he squeals when he sees me.
Somehow I just know I must be gentle with the littlest one.


Don't worry, baby. I'm on the lookout for trouble.


She'll be chasing me around before long!

Let them smile. I take my job VERY seriously.


Aw, Mom, can't I just give her a few kisses?
Today Mareto came to visit. We had a wonderful time chasing each other around the yard. Then we took a walk. Between Mareto looking carefully at all the leaves, mailboxes, and flowers, and me checking all my pee-mail, it was a looong walk - just pawsome!
Beautiful day for a long excursion.

With me in the lead we won't get lost, buddy!
What fun it is being a Granddog. Now I just have to teach Mareto how to get to the dog treats...

  1. Hey Toby,

    You're an awesome Granddog!!

    You're right, you do need to show them where the treats are, also it's good to get them to accidentally drop their food too - you can pick it up for them!! Tee Hee

    Wags to all

    Your pal Snoopy :)

    1. Oh no, Mareto has the dropping food trick down pat. In fact, the real problem is getting him to eat some himself!
