Sprocket learned a lesson....

As most of you know Sprocket the Cocker Spaniel is not easily trainable. He has his own way of doing things, which typically always gets him into trouble (ie: eating Eli's socks and then throwing them up whole, running around the house with underwear hanging out of his mouth, and my favorite, jumping on the table, eating my chicken, and the jumping back down before Shay and I even knew what the hell just happened).

Sprocket's latest mug shot:


Today a 14lb baby put Sprocket into a new situation. This afternoon I gave Sprocket a Frosty Paw - the best doggie treat on the planet! Sprocket loves Frosty Paws. He guards them, licks them lovingly, carries it from room to room, all the while the damn thing is melting.

I put Eli onto the floor to crawl around while I went and made him his afternoon bottle. I come back and see my child head first in the cup of puppy icecream... going to town! Sprocket is hoovering over him not sure what he should do! He looked up with me with his big brown eyes (Sprocket that is) and practically begged me to please get him his ice cream back!

I told him to go ahead and get it back. He gently put his head in between Eli and the ice cream and gently pulled the ice cream out of reach of Eli. Eli was not to be thwarted. He scooted his little hiney closer to where the ice cream was. Sprocket expertly picked up the ice cream and moved it to another location.

I wasn't sure exactly what to do at this point. I mean, my kid just ate puppy ice cream. Then I remembered yesterday when Eli crawled over to Sprockets bone and went to town on that.... What can I say, my kid loves the doggie treats! I just wish that I could have gotten a picture of it! Lucky for you, I do have a video of Eli going for Sprocket's bone.... Gotta love it! Enjoy!
