Friday Farm Favorites: Maud and Dash
Maud, our Bluetick hound, is quite a character and a connoisseur of rawhide bones. She’s also affectionately known as “The Bone Pest” at our house. This is chiefly because she likes to snarf her bone in 30 seconds and then plop herself down across from Dash, who’s attempting to enjoy his bone in peace. FAT CHANCE! Maud will usually lie a foot or two away and stare into Dash’s face as he’s chewing his bone, and sometimes she howls for good measure. The following photos were taken last evening as we were grilling out and hanging with the dogs on the patio. Maud to Dash: “Yes, I’m coveting your bone.”

A conversation without a word! Hilarious duo there, I bet you get hours of enjoyment from/with them.

I do! They really crack me up, especially Maud. She’s such a character. She’s the sweetest dog, but she definitely has a one track mind.

Amazing how some people can generalize animals, isn’t it? They all have a distinct personality.

I completely and wholeheartedly agree with that statement. I even see different personalities in my sheep and chickens.

Greedy Maud! I see she got fed up in the end and lay down (mind you she did still have one eye on Dash’s bone)!

Maud could eat her weight in raw hides if I’d let her. Yeah, I think she was just resting. If Maud is anything, she’s persistent! 🙂

Thanks! Maud is always very good-natured with her “coveting,” and Dash doesn’t seem to mind. 🙂

Love it! Ours not only covet, though — sometimes they’ll share. I’ve seen Phoebe take a bone literally FROM GRACIE’S MOUTH. Unbelievable. (Oh, and antlers last a lot longer around here than rawhide.)

They must be good friends! Dogs are amazing. Gracie and Phoebe obviously love one another. Thanks for the tip regarding the antlers. 🙂

Haha, this actually makes me think of what my husband and I must look like when we go out to eat. Years of military and police work have trained him to eat in a hurry. I am a pokey eater, so he always finishes his food first then sits and looks longingly at my plate. He’s the Maud to my Dash!
What beautiful babies you have! They are both gorgeous!
