New HULA Member: Bet

Being a "working breed" I know how it is when humans actually think that your title means you have to "earn" your room and board. Just because humans have no sense and work most of their lives (and complain about it every night) doesn't mean we dogs have to do the same thing. We're much smarter than humans, after all, who cooks and cleans for us?

My friend Kara directed me to her human's post about Bet, a Border Collie that didn't really want to work either. Can't say that I blame her. Bet was offered a cushy position as resident house dog, foot warmer, and puppy wrangler. Her only duties were to make sure that future Iditarod pullers didn't stray too far from home and to look very cute on the couch. Apparently Bet didn't read her contract too carefully (and had she consulted with her Attorney at Claw I would have done pro bono work for her) because there is that pesky "other duties as required" claws. In this case, Bet was suppose to save her human in case a bear caught them stealing its food. Yeah, right, like one poor pup could fend off a gazillion pound angry and hungry bear!

While most pups would have just done what they were told, Bet has been under the careful guidance of Kara and found a unique way to get out of such a crappy job... by rolling in bear stuff.

Nice job Bet, and for your creative use of stinky poo to get out of an unsavory duty and be left back at the house on your comfy bed, I hereby award you with the coveted HULA award, and welcome you into the ranks of HULA as an honorary Siberian Husky.

Congratulations!

  2. Well, this is most confusing. I am not entirely convinced that rolling in bear poo is worth it. And I never saw a border collie actually sleeping before.

  3. So all this time all I needed to do was roll in poop! Oh! Bear poop.

    Hmmm....

  4. Man, we have Bear Poop everywhere around here and we haven't made HULA yet. Must work harder.

    I wonder if Kara shared her cloud that night?

    Well, maybe Bet can now confirm that, in fact, bears do do do in the woods.

  9. Whoa. Bet looks like she might be over-doing it in that picture. I hope she's pacing herself.
    Was that taken AFTER she rolled in bear poop? Ha roo roo roo!

  11. This is too funny and too smart. They always say that things happen for a reason. Chances are that bear may have still been in the vicinity, and Bet - not wanting to face that bear alone, did the only thing she could think of to get them both back to the house safely - roll in the bear poo.
    Smart thinking Bet!
