Rita: Nutty About Chew

I wanted to share a couple of cute pics and a funny video from Christmas and figured I better get on it! Christmas already seems so long ago. (Although our neighbors are still turning their Christmas lights on every night...)

Anyway, here's Rita opening her gifts. Do you wrap presents and let your pup(s) open them?

Here she is sacked out with her meager gift pile (she's so deprived!) - a chipmunk toy and a Himalayan chew.

She was so funny. We let her open her gifts first, then we all opened ours, taking turns and opening things one at a time. When anyone had a present wrapped in paper that they tore open, she would sit and watch, like she was really interested in what they were getting. So cute. (Pretty sure she was just hoping it was treats she could share in...)
"Whadja get, Aunt Kathy??"

One last quick share - had to get a video of how nutty she was (and still is) with her Himalayan chew. She attacks it every time before gnawing on it! Such a riot.

Even now, three weeks later, she's still attacking the nub that's left every time before she chews on it.

Any idea what the heck she's thinking??

  1. She is nutty, attacking that thing. And it zings around your floor like a hockey puck. Maybe she is pretending to be a hockey player fighting an opponent.

    1. That might be it. She sees how excited the Daddy and I get when we watch hockey games, so she's just trying to help out between games - give us some entertainment!

  2. That's adorable. Ruby doesn't quite get the whole idea of unwrapping gifts. Maybe I should show her this video of Rita! LOL

    1. Funny because i didn't have to teach Rita to open her gifts - she just knew to rip that paper off!

    1. Once she saw what it was she was like, "oh, boring" and went back to her own prezzies.

  5. What a wonderful video. We always wrap the presents for our pups. Our boys got a motorized "tail" toy (for lack of the real name) and they about drove themselves into exhaustion playing with it. Rita looks like she had fun too!

    1. Yeah? You think that's joy in the video?? Not sure about that! The way she attacks her bed in frustration cracks me up.

    1. Hmm. Mabel just eats them? So I guess my dog is... special.

  13. I'm glad I'm higher that Rita on the food chain. I do a lot of shopping on line and I let my dogs unwrap every package. If it doesn't smell like a threat or toy they lose interest quickly

    1. Haha. Yes, Rita is the same with all the online packages that we receive here. She wants to be involved with opening all of it! She thinks everything is potentially for her. Boy is she bummed when it's not!

  14. Haha, that video cracked me up! Way too funny...and adorable. No clue as to why but she sure seems to be entertained by the toy! ღ

    1. I have no clue either. It almost seems like she thinks it's a living thing that she has to attack. She's such a nut.

    1. Haha. Yes, it is the gift that keeps on giving! Funny that Cole will eat paper but not tear it. He is as unique as Rita!

  16. I love her misplaced aggression towards the bed! Too funny!

    I created a monster. Not only does B unwrap her gifts but she helps me with mine too.

    1. Isn't that a riot how she attacks her bed? She's a nut. (That poor bed. But it's taken a beating and stood up to it!)

      That's so funny that B "helps" with yours!

  17. Rita is just adorable. Love her expression watching others open gifts.

  18. Aw, I love that she waits and watches while others open their gifts. That picture of her watching is just adorable! Glad you had a wonderful holiday.

    1. Pretty sure she's just hoping for something she can share in, but she sure looked cute.

  19. That video's about the cutest thing I ever saw! Who knows what she's pretending she's attacking - obviously she's having a great time though. Santa brought her a good present!

    1. I'm assuming she thinks it's some sort of little beastie. Such a nut.

  20. That is SO cute!! I love the video. Cocoa opens her presents and I should have got a video. How do you like the Himalayan chews??

    1. You know, it's funny I even bought her this one because I ddint really like the first one I bought her. The first one was gone in nothing flat, which was a big bummer because they're not a cheap chew! But this one I've been happy with. She still has a little chunk of it left, so it's lasted a good long time. (But she's not a super crazy chewer.) Have you tried one with Cocoa?

  24. Looks like Rita doesn't need a playmate. She's her own best friend. :)

    Honey does something similar when she finds a particularly good stick.
