And Once Again Treats Trump Dignity

Ever since we got the bug glasses, Mum and I have been trying to figure out how to get them to stay on the dog. Because what is funnier than Scooter in bug glasses? Nothing. That's what.

You know what is harder than trying to get the dog to wear bug glasses. Nothing. That's what. As you can see, Scooter is being told very sternly that he ought to wear the glasses long enough to get a picture.  There may have been copious amounts of treats involved. He is a really patient dog. Or he really, really loves treats. Possibly more than he loves his dignity. Poor guy.

Note the clever paperclip/ twist-tie rig Mum set up to keep the glasses on.

It was really difficult to capture this photo. Partially because the dog knew he looked silly in the glasses and thought he'd rather not wear them. Partially because I was laughing pretty hard. 

Good boy Scooter. Lots of treats for you.

Scooter's Favorite Game

Scooter has a new favorite game.

It's called, "Find The Treat In The Grass." It involves me throwing a treat into the lawn. Then he snuffles around until he finds it.

Scooter then runs back as fast as he can and waits for another treat.

He isn't very patient though. If I take more than a few seconds he lectures me a bit. The faster I throw, the less he barks.

If I take my eye off the treat pot to, let's say, focus my camera, he creeps closer. And if I really don't keep an eye on him, he sticks his face in the treat pot and gobbles down as many treats as he can before he gets yelled at. He's quite sneaky.
