Little Filthy molests toys…and homeless people.
1. I woke up to find that Little Filthy had been ill during the night. On my bed. Well, that’s new. He is not a throw-up kind of dog but he’d thrown-up on his own bed earlier in the week. Apparently, he likes to be thorough. This meant a) laundry and b) a quick vet visit to have his temperature checked and c) a trip to PetSmart for a new bed. Well, I could have told you…he’s just fine. I realized this when he immediately ran into the toy aisle, grabbed a plush stuffed pig from the bottom rack and proceeded to hump it.
2. We went to the park then, where he gets to roam a bit off-leash. Have I mentioned that Little Filthy, like most dogs, likes to rub against or roll around in things that smell? Normally, I might run over to find that he’s decided to roll around by a dead bird or something. However, that was not the case today.
Today, he hopped up on a bench, right on top of the homeless man that was sleeping on it and proceeded to rub all over him, thereby scaring him about 3/4ths the way dead.
I’m ashamed to say that my first thought was that I wanted to snap a picture for you all. Decorum got the better of me and I ran over and rescued the man from Little Filthy’s ministrations. The whole thing reminded me of this day at the beach when he managed (while wet from the lake) to football tackle a beach bag, relieve himself on another, and then shake himself dry next to a bikini-clad woman.
*sigh*
3. Finally, my neighbor stopped over and we decided to let Little Filthy enjoy an empty peanut butter jar. At one point, his whole face was stuck in the jar. This is what determination looks like.

our dogs love the empty peanut butter jar, too! although one day we thought we’d keep them distracted while we were out for a few hours by leaving them with a jar that still had about 1/4 left. although we had a very clean-looking jar by the time we came home, we also found globs of peanut butter and peanut butter dog barf (still being licked by the dogs) mucking up the carpet. know when to say when, kids!

Oh man, yeah, I made sure it was pretty scraped clean before giving to him because I could only imagine what a mess it would be if he went into cat mode and started sticking his paws into the container. Bah, PB-barf. Gah.

Oh how this made me LOL. I do wish you’d taken that picture before rescuing the poor guy. But I’m also already going straight to hell, so that doesn’t really damage me any.

I love your dog, I sort of love him more than I do, and mostly because he jumped ON a homeless man. *Laugh*

Ah, yes, the simple joys in life – an empty peanut butter jar. Life doesn’t get much better than that when you’re a dog, now does it?

That was probably the most action the homeless guy had in ages. Good for Little Filthy for spreading the love.

I’m so glad I don’t have a dog.

@Jane – Don’t encourage me!
@QT – Of course you do.
@MommaSunshine – You’re exactly right. Empty peanut butter jar = pure joy.
@Danielle – I hadn’t thought of it that way. LF FTW!
@Mindy – Awww, now, …I love my monster. heh.
@Sandra – Now we’re talkin! He’s awesome, right? My special dog.

Wow, LF is the best, I can’t believe he did that to that guy. I would have also wanted to take a picture. What does that say about us. I love the PetSmart story, FootFoot is scared of there after a dog jumped on her once while there.
