From his vantage point on the couch my brother Cato can watch our human parents while they are in the kitchen cooking or eating. If a morsel of food falls to the floor of if a bag is opened, especially our treats, we can be there to scarf it up in a second! Do I look hungry?
Since I have to protect my humans at all times I think it is necessary for me to make sure everything they eat is okay. Here I am inspecting my dad’s meal for safety. Unfortunately he doesn’t agree with my job as food safety inspector because I didn’t get anything to sample! I keep trying though and every once and a while I get a snack!
We love to sit on the arm of the couch and look out onto the deck. From this place we can see if there are any birds at the bird feeder or if there are any kids playing in their back yard. We can also see if anyone is sneaking any food in the kitchen and trying to hide it from us. If anyone wants to sit down we usually stretch out so they can’t. Cato will leave but Lucky won’t move.

Ever since we were little puppies we loved to be picked up by our humans, especially Cato. When Cato was younger he just loved to be held and carried by everybody. Now that we are both over 40 lbs. it is a little difficult for our humans to pick us up and carry us around, but Kevin does once and awhile. Lucky is a little nervous, but Cato doesn’t want to get down. When our humans are sitting on the couch we have to sit on top of them all of the time. Do you think we’re spoiled?

Every time one of my humans sit at the kitchen table Lucky and I watch them in case they are eating something. As soon as we hear the noise of bags or boxes opening or the we see any kind of food or snacks we immediately run to the table. Neither one of us want to have our humans eat alone!

As you can see I don’t have many manners, especially when it comes to dinner time or any time food is involved. My humans call me Miss Piggy.
This is how I (Lucky) beg treats when someone is at the dinner table. I’m not very mannerly! Usually Cato is on the other side begging too.
In the last post you saw a picture of us taking a nap before bed. Now we are showing what happens when it is actual bed time and we go to sleep with our humans.

When we are in bed we don’t like to move an inch. Our humans have to squeeze in between us when they get into bed. We sleep until morning and until we decide when our humans get up!
When the sun starts to go down we like to cozy up for a short nap before we go upstairs to go to bed. We don’t like to sleep upstairs in the bed without our humans there to go to sleep too. Aside for eating and playing this is our favorite thing to do.
