Dogs on logs? There may seem little point to a series of pictures of dogs atop big pieces of wood - but perhaps that is exactly the point. And why not? Cats at least have the
lol variety - dogs seem a little left out. Above, Pio has spotted something in the water. Is it a fish? Who can say but we can perhaps guess what happened next... So - over to the rest of our canine buddies.
Some dogs will look cute anywhere, but add a log in to the mix and the cute factor goes stratospheric. Although Hula doesn't look terribly happy on the log you can rest assured he was helped safely back to the ground!
From the sublime to, well - make up your own mind. Hula may not known quite what to do with his log (stay on it or run!) and neither, we suspect, does Killer. However, he certainly looks immensely happy to have found it though (we will take a look at what dogs
do to logs, once they have discovered them, a little later...).
Sydney does the
two log tree (although one, long as it is, hardly qualifies as a log, but...). What is it with dogs, logs and water? Well, nine out of ten for effort, Sydney! I wonder if he knows that properly trained, a man can be dog's best friend?
Matilda is quite happy to keep her feet dry but if a log is there it does have to be climbed - simply because it is there. Some say that dogs laugh, but with their tail. That being said - isn't that a huge grin on Matilda's face? If not - how would you describe it?
No, Libby we said dogs on logs not dog logs on. Always has to be one....
This young pup gets the
two log trick right first time and shows up his elders at a young age. Wait, though, where's the water? Disqualified!
Jasper is a canny character though - logs have their uses on those long summer walks. Plus, he can be quietly smug about the fact that four legs are better than two by going where most humans would not tread.
Sometimes, though, speed can be of the essence.
Other times, just being still is best. Cooper knows a good photo opportunity when he see one. Some people says that on occasion dogs are almost human (although if they could talk, wouldn't that take some of the fun out of sharing your life with one?). However, that could be classified as something of an insult.
Clear off! You don't count!
That's better - even though in the case of Marla here, we might still have to play guess the species...
Dogs can get very possessive about their logs. Whenever they see one, they get all
mine, mine, mine. The size of the log is irrelevant. Ownership is everything.
Really,
really possessive.
So, why this fascination with logs? Well, that's not rocket science. After all, dogs love to...
...chew....
..and chew.....
...and chew!
