Royal Mutt





In ancient times, the Egyptians would mummify their dogs and bury them with themselves. Sometimes they would be put underneath the royalty or sometimes they would lay beside them. The dogs were so revered, that the Egyptians would shave their heads when their pets died. The royal dogs would have after life foods and goodies to take with them. I have seen pictures of some of the Egyptian dogs. A lot of them were crossed with wolves.
We have a dog and she thinks she is in the line of the royal Egyptian dogs. She goes to the beauty shop once a week for her bubble bath, has her nails done, has her fur done and is a really good smelling dog. She does not always appreciate this beauty shop though. At times she really likes to roll in “Stuff” that does not smell good when she comes home.
This week we have had company, one of them being a one year old toddler that fed Maggie cookies and other goodies. Maggie thought he was a toy that carried food. It scared me to death, but there were no accidents. Then the company left last night. Then there was today. How can a dog become so spoiled in four days. She is bored with just two old people. She is bored with dog food. She tells me she wants to go out and just wants to play. It is cold, and windy and I am not going to stand out there in the elements because she is bored.
Maggie is a poodle and a schutzu and I cannot spell that. I have tried and tried and looked it up and still cannot spell schutzu.. So anyway, she is a mutt. She is not royalty. She may be in store for mutt boot camp for awhile. Poor baby.

  1. It was funny to read this post and then read the previous post. In the previous post the dog was a good idea to take care of the baby. But it sounds like the baby took care of the dog! We used to put my son in one of those plastic walkers when he was just 10 months old. He would chase the dog around. The dog hated it until we put pretzels in the walker. Then the dog suddenly loved it!
