Who has the most spoiled Big Paw?
« on: July 09, 2007, 01:35:55 am »
I had posted a topic about how spoiled rotten my Sierra is and someone suggested a contest to see who has the most spoiled pupper.

For instance - Sierra only gets refrigerated bottled water.  No plain old tap water for my favorite girl!  She also gets a 5-minute massage all over when she gets out of her crate to get out any kinks from sleeping.  It started out as a way to get her used to being touched all over in the show ring...now she comes out of her crate and immediately leans against my legs and she WON'T move until I give her a massage.

So how do you spoil your big paws???

Great idea! 
Grace will only eat in front of the AC vent and won't touch her food without a big splash of fresh cow's milk from the farm.  she gets to sleep on the bed and if she gets to bed first, gets most of the bed and a coupld of pillows under her bummy.   
that's pretty spoiled.

Harley only drinks cold filtered water. She won't drink out of a water bowl that another dog drank out of. She doesn't like backwash LOL  ::)

She has her own bed but she likes to sleep with us. She has her own sofa, unless the cat is on it.  ;D

She has all the toys she could ever want, Raw bones and food ect. And we take her everywhere with us.

And her uncle(my brother) always brings her a plain donut when he comes to visit.

Great thread!
How are my pups spoiled? let me count the ways!
Here are just a few examples...

1) Ellie has slept in bed with me, under the covers since she was 8 weeks old. She will be 4 years old in November. In addition she has a bed of her own for lounging purposes.

2) Riley has slept on the bed, in the spot next to me, with pillows of his own since coming to live in the house 1 1/2 years ago

3) In addition to his own bed (in the bedroom), Blu also has his own chair and shares a futon with his sister Ellie - all complete with multiple soft blankets.

4) Ellie and Blu get a chewy treat (bully stick, dried sweet potato, etc... EVERY time I leave in the morning or generally any time I leave the house.

After Tucker had his first seizure we purchased a trailer so that we could take him with us on our travels.

We built a pool so that after hip surgery Tucker would be able to rehab here at home.

My MIL moved in with us so when we do travel without the pups someone is always here with the pack.

Lily will join the club of the most spoiled dogs...She prefers cold filtered water with ice cubes in it. She decides what she will eat...whether it is dry food, raw or home made. She has a bed on each level of the house (3!). Since she is not crated any longer her huge crate filled with bully sticks, hooves, and toys which she occasionally reward with her attention. She goes to obedience classes 2-3 times a week and to a dog park  ones or twice a week. She gets groomed twice a week with 4 different brushes. And finally, she goes to almost every party with us because everybody loves Lily!!! Is she spoiled or what???

By the way, I have heard of a person who has a full time doggy nanny and a "personal canine" trainer visiting them twice a week! Isn't it something???

I know it was the MIL moving in that put us over the top. ;D

Actually she is a GREAT woman and it has been a pleasure to have her around.  Although she has been gone for the last couple of weeks and won't be back until the end of August.

That's wonderful that you get along so well.  It sounds like you are both very blessed to have one another!  ;D  :-*

I thought WE spoiled our dog, but now I think we're neglecting her. We definitely haven't built a pool for Rosie yet, although we wish we could as she loves the water.

She does get a lot of personal, one-on-one treatment though; endless chin rubs at her request and 4-handed belly rubs (with both my husband and I working extra hard to cover her entire belly).

Ok - So here's the REAL question:  Are all of our pups just spoiled or are WE just very well trained??
