Working Dogs

This morning I hacked into my human woman's facebook and saw she was complaining about the fact that she was downstairs and her coffee was upstairs.  Typical.

What was disturbing was that some of her "friends" were suggesting that she teach her huskies (namely ME, since the other two are worthless and gimpy) to go fetch her coffee.  Seriously?  First its all about pulling a stupid sled when they have 2 trucks and a motorcycle, and now they expect me to go fetch her coffee when her feeble and addled mind makes her forget that she just made a cup and walked off without it?

This whole "Working Dog" breed thing is out of control.  Its as if they just made up the title so they wouldn't have to be responsible for anything.  I would have voted that Siberian Huskies be the "Really Fluffy Laying on a Cold Air Vent" breed, but apparently I wasn't allowed to vote.

Since I'm apparently stuck with the "Working Breed" title, I was napping... I mean thinking really hard about what sort of work I would actually be qualified to do, and then it came to me:  Search and Rescue.

Well, maybe not rescue, but I'm really good at searching for stuff, like used kleenex, candy wrappers, and an entire roast left unattended on a counter.  There are some limitations to our work though.  We're very good at finding balls or other toys that are thrown by humans...
... we're just not very good at actually bringing the thrown thing back, so if the humans wanted us to find things, they'd need to keep up with us, because once we found the thing, well... there's other things to sniff around for, so we'd be off to find that gloriously stinky dead thing to roll in (unless of course the thing they wanted us to find was the gloriously stinky dead thing, and I would have to guess that building a murder case when we've rolled in their evidence would be a bit problematic).

I would also like to add that unless the thing they wanted us to find was tasty and stinky, we probably wouldn't work too hard to find it, therefore if you want us to find a lost child, make sure the lost child is holding a piece of steak, or a used kleenex.  It would also help if you threw the lost child holding a piece of steak a short distance, as we get distracted by other things easily and may actually find a rotting woodchuck that was closer.

  2. All of us Siberian Huskies here at Ao4 HQs salute you! That would be three of us. Because a certain Lab-in-a-Sibe-suit thinks bringing things back is "fun". ???? Don't ask me to explain him!

  3. Yeah, we really don't get the "bring it back" thing either. I mean, why'd they throw it out there in the first place if they wanted it so bad? Geesh....

  4. Well, I think that since you managed to hack into the human woman's facebook, you could have left all sorts of messages for those silly people.

    I lost a bit of ham last week. It should be just about stinky enough for you to come and find it now.

  5. Seems to me you work plenty hard. Of course being beautiful is no small chore either. Can't figure how she would expect more.

  6. Humans have expected way to much from us dogs for centuries! There are just a few out there who seem to ruin it for the rest of us by actually DOING some sort of work. They, obviously, are not as smart as we are.
