Tucker Time!

We were given a very special treat for dinner tonight - chicken legs! We don't get them very often, because Mum can't always buy them in bulk, and she says that her budget (whatever that is) can't stretch to yummy chicken legs unless they're in bulk amounts.

She kept some of them, put some powder stuff on them, and put them in the oven for herself and Dad, but we all got one each for dinner! None of us understand why Mum and Dad use the oven - chicken legs are best when they're raw!

We know we are lucky puppies because we have our own lounge chairs outside, that we won't get into trouble for eating on. Monty claimed the big lounge chair tonight, and settled in to try and inhale his chicken leg. Unfortunately, it was too big! He HAD to chew it up! Plus, his chicken leg was a little bit frozen on one side, to stop him from being a greedy-guts.


He worked out after a while that it's easier to eat if you put your paw on one end!

Pirate is a slow eater when it comes to bones, and he settles in and chews slowly. Monty doesn't understand why he chews bones so slowly - if you eat faster, it usually means you can try to steal the bones off the other two!

Pirate settled in on one of the smaller lounge chairs, his favourite one, to enjoy his chicken leg.


Pirate likes to lick his chicken legs lots before he starts to chew them.  Mum says its because Pirate has sensitive teeth, and the chicken leg was too cold for him straight away. Monty thinks Pirate is silly. 

Lucky could have eaten his chicken leg on one of the lounge chairs too, but he decided that the laundry was a better place. He even pulled out the old curtains that Dad uses as rags sometimes to eat on. Mum didn't get mad at Lucky for this - even though when Monty pulled out an old towel to chew bones on, Mum put her angry face on and yelled at him. Monty thought that the towel was his, since it is the one that he gets dried with after the beach and baths. 


Lucky was so excited to get his chicken leg that he started bouncing around in circles! Mum NEVER gives us good food like this! (Mum would like to add that she does  give them good food, EVERY night, but her boys have goldfish memories!)

We've all been told that we're going to an estuary tomorrow, and that we will get to meet some other puppies. We get to go in the CAR! Yay! The car is the most awesomest fun EVER! You get to see so much stuff, and there are so MANY cars out there! Mum says we will be in the car for an hour to get there, but we're not sure how long that is. We don't care - it's the CAR!

Puppy Love from Monty, Pirate, and Lucky!

  1. Chicken necks mmmmm....we remember those. Our Mummy doesn't give them to us anymore....sigh.....Jasper was getting too fat from them and our vet said no more chicken necks. Still as a treat every now and then it would be nice. They are very very cheap over here and Mummy used to freeze them in Glad Bags for us, but yes, you have to buy them in bulk. Bi-Lo or Woolies usually have them in bulk. You are so spoilt having your own lounge too. We try to share a lounge with our humans but they don't like it too much...don't know why not, we're so cuddly! Loved reading your post. Woof - Marley & Jasper.

  2. Wow that looks really good! Tonya would never let me have anything like that! I have never even really had human food before (except for the crumbs I manage to get on the floor).
    It looks like you guys really like that chicken, I sure would get just as excited as you guys if had something that delicious!

    Hope you guys have fun at the estuary, sounds like it will be loads of fun.
