The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

I want a dog that puts my cups in the sink!

:nod:
I know! Or one step further: how about he just puts them in the dishwasher? :D

And oh Signor Carbón, you are muy guapo e inteligente :inlove:
Carbon says "Muchas gracias, nice Kipper's mum lady".

I was smiling watching this , imagining young Reubs in the supermarket , actually I`d rather not imagine it
Bet he'd do better than you think. And even if not, it would be entertaining. :sneaky:

He did very well!! Standing in line in Costco is no fun for anyone...;)
No kidding - that was the only bit where you could tell he was over it. Kind of like riding a ride at Disneyland but having to stand in line and wait AFTER the ride instead of before it.


He slept like the dead that night: new house and new people + 2 hours at the SD fundraiser event + trip to Costco + trip to Mexican restaurant = coma dog.

Per the other thread about what we say to our dogs and what they say back, Carbon is much advanced! He can spell, too—in Spanish and English!
He has really embraced English with his typical fervour for learning. Oddly enough, he is more likely to misspell words in Spanish, his native language. I'm sure that's simply because he wasn't writing when he lived there so is just out of practice. ;)

whoops ... Fantastic, obviously.
I like "fantasting" better! :D

Carbon looks so well and trim, that diet you give him works like a dream.
He still has a bit of extra something something from our week at my dad's, but luckily Carbon loses weight as fast as he gains it. He's pretty much on veggies and a tiny bit of fish kibble now and that's agreeing with him. Dad can plump him up again when we're back there in a few days' time.

It was a big day for Señor Carboncito (or as my friend Mimi calls him, "Señor Handsome"). We went up to Lake Tahoe, had a burrito tailgating lunch at the dog park (tried for the beach but it was no non-residents and no dogs allowed), went to a plant nursery, then had a silly photo shoot on the lake. Here are bunches of somewhat random photos from the day!
