Yes, in Freddie's eyes I starve him. He only gets food twice a day instead of 24 hours a day like he would prefer. To top it all off I don't let him eat Gloria's food either! So the dishwasher has become his favorite thing in our house....next to the bed, couch and well........everything else. But the dishwasher represents food on dishes that us silly wasteful humans haven't licked clean.
Fred knows my routine; usually I unload and reload at the same time.
"Are ya gonna unload the dishwasher now Momma?"
"Come on! How long can it take ya!"
"
Sniff, sniff! Here comes the motherload! Come on Gloria!"
And the pre-wash cycle begins. This enables Fred to struggle by for yet another day!
I was thinking he was looking a little neglected.
ReplyDeleteSuch hard to resist eyes!
ReplyDeleteThat's it Fred, we too have seen enough! We're gonna have to put in a call to the 'starving dog police' and report your Mama!! I too have been having the same problem recently. Seems like my hoomans aren't feeding me enough. I get the munchies around 9pm and sit and cry and cry and cry. Did you know if you cry loud enough, those silly hoomans give in! OK, so they give me dog food instead of treat's, but my little belly doesn't care by that point. I just need more food!!!
ReplyDeleteThe one good thing for you is that you can reach the inside of the dishwasher. My leg's are too short.

Loved this! We have two helpers around here, too. Well... we did until Rudy's dog tags got hooked on the silverware thingy and he managed to removed the bottom rack from the DW. Yikes! He mostly watches from a distance now.
ReplyDeleteMe and my sister like to lick out the dishes in the dishwasher too - there's always something left on them - not like ours. We make sure we lick our bowls for at least half an hour after the food is gone to make sure there's not even the smell of food there any more. Woofs & licks from Magic xx
ReplyDeleteThose adoring eyes...
ReplyDeleteOh Freddie! I feel so bad for you....I can't believe they do that to you! Let me know what your favorite things are and I will get a care package sent off right away.....you must have food! AND a lot of it....am I right or am I right....we need our strength!
ReplyDeleteI do some pre-washing of our supper dishes too!
ReplyDeleteLovies, Miss Mindy
You guys are lucky...mom would never let us do that!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet. That Freddie is a clever hound. He knows the deal.
ReplyDeletenice one freddie very clever :) XXX
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so lucky to have a dishwasher. MOM doesn't have one. So the only time I get to "use" one is when we are at one of our friends houses. But I will say I am the dish washer at our house. At least the pre-wash cycle. hehehhe. Fred I know you are only following your primal drive of survival.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Ewwwww...glad I don't live at home anymore!! lol jk. Fred, I think you'll survive. If Gloria can make it, I'm sure you can too!
ReplyDeletelol! sounds like you and rocket are exactly the same, chowhounds. when rocket was smaller he used to crawl in the open dishwasher...he'd break now if he'd try it.
ReplyDeleteHawoooo Freddie! I've tried volunteering to just lick the dishes clean but that never works either, hope woo don't waste away to nothin' before suppertime BOL!!
ReplyDeleteRA
Pink Floyd, among others, has four hollow legs like Freddie - he's never filled up and always hungry! What does the Mom say? "Oh, waaaa..." Not much sympathy but some chuckles.....love the stories you weave. Freddie is most beseeching, I must say :).
ReplyDeleteAround our house we call it the Higgins Pre-Rince Cycle and it's my favorite chore!! Freddie, I must say, you do such a great job at it!
ReplyDeleteRocky said to tell you, that he hopes that he will be lucky enough to get a forever home like yours with a dishwasher.....
ReplyDeletegee Fred... you and Ernie could start a prayer vigil to the dishLICKER thingy.
ReplyDeleteMiro's long legs come in handy when it's time to lick the dishes in the dishwasher. For some reason, it doesn't much interest Alanis.
ReplyDeleteOh, poor Freddie boy. How can you starve him so??? My dachshund is also extremely food-motivated. At the dog park, he will jump up on the picnic table and go rummaging through people's bags to find treats. What a stinker!
ReplyDeleteThat's right Fred! You tell em!
ReplyDeleteDachsund Nola
Hahahah, he is too cute!! They both are:)
ReplyDeleteHaha, poor Fred. It's such a ruff life.
ReplyDeleteFreddie you are so lucky to have the plate washer machine. I have to go to my nannies to get a lick of the plates
ReplyDeleteAwww, what a sad, starving Freddie! ;P Haha!
ReplyDeleteMy dogs are always willing to do a prewash cycle for the washing machine, too!
Hi Y'all,
ReplyDeleteOh Freddie! As starving as you are and you still call Gloria and share?
Y'all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
The dishwasher is as close at the poochies can get to what the family had for meals and they didn't. That lickin can go on for a long time...
ReplyDeleteLOL and here I am teaching a puppy that we don't lick the dishes in the dishwasher. I must be really evil. :)
ReplyDeleteBOL...poor thing looks fammished!!
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Around here the dishwasher is called 'the buffet'.
ReplyDeletePoor Fred, just like our moose Hannibal, he is prolly half starved to death! BOL...yeah right.
Sugar the Who
Yep, that's Torrey too. Roxy can't even think of reaching.
ReplyDeleteOwen feels the same way as you Freddie! He can't believe he only gets two meals a day when his mommy and daddy eat ALL day! Nor does he understand why Mommy and Daddy don't want his help cleaning the dishes.
ReplyDeleteWags,
Maddy & a very hungry Owen
Oh Fred! Such a silly boy.
ReplyDeleteOh Freddie! How awful of your mom to only feed you twice a day! At least you have the dishwasher to console you.
ReplyDeleteGreat exercise routine, BM. I mean, sure Freddie is licking off the dishes but we have to look at the bigger picture.
ReplyDeleteImagine how much concentration it takes to lick the plate... the tongue will need to pinpoint the exact plate as well as the right surface.
Us, humans, have it easy. ^_^
Huggies and Cheese,
Haopee
I sooooooo love Freddie! He is such a character!
ReplyDeleteMine certainly know where every crumb is too :)
ReplyDeletePoor Fred! I hope you get food 24 hours a day! I completely understand how you feel because I make this wish everyday for myself too.
ReplyDeleteLicks
Eva
He does look terribly thin.....;-) Deccy x
ReplyDeletelol, congratulations Fred, one has to look at the environment, and with Gloria's help all dishes can be cleaner than any dishwasher - providing some food is still on the plates - what ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish we had a dishwasher.... I have to steal dishes from the sink to lick them clean. Lucky for me I can do that!
ReplyDeleteAwww poor Freddie! Got to love those puppy eyes!
ReplyDeleteOh my paw-ness, I too help with the dishwasher, we a pre-wash lick!
