Hello and Welcome to Dave's First Blog

Dave’s World

Well, here it goes, this is my first attempt to communicate to humans. I’m Dave, yes you guessed it, a dog. But I am not just any dog, I am part of the staff at The Sidney Pier Hotel and Spa, and I love my job. (really what dog would not love my job)

I decided to start this blog because I hear all day long, “I wonder what he is thinking”, “Wouldn’t you love to be inside his head”, etc…… Most humans have always had an innate curiosity about what goes through a dog’s mind and rightly so, we are fascinating animals.

Maybe I need to start by answering a few of the most commonly asked questions I hear. ( I think I need to make this a regular section in my blog because I think you humans have a lot of questions……)

Q:
Why do I steal muffins?

A:
Why not, I am a dog, hello, we are always hungry (actually don’t ever think I am not hungry) and sweet yummy, Georgia Café muffins, really hit the spot. ( I am trying to cut down though because although I am addicted to them they are not so easy on my stomach lately )

Q:
Why do I look sad?

A:
I am not sad, really are you kidding me how can I be sad when I get to sleep 8 hours every night, and nap for 10 hours, nothing sad about that.

Q:
I wonder if he knows how cute he is?

A:
Really, this is a great question, of course I know how cute I am, I am a dog and we are all cute! I happen to be a bit cuter than most and I suppose I do work that angle a bit and it is working for me.

Ok enough Q & A for now, lets get down to why I started this blog. I plan on keeping my followers and canine counterparts educated and informed on my daily routine. I see the world from not only a 2ft vantage point, but from the perspective of well, for the lack of a better term, a dog.. I hear conversations all day long and sometimes hear way more than I ever want to. If it is a good conversation I will just flop and at the humans feet and assume my cute position. Now when it is a conversation I do not want to hear I will try to distract the humans with some drooling and maybe a bit of begging or lie on my back and hope I get an awesome belly rub from them. Obviously this serves a couple of purposes. I don’t need to explain how much I LOVE getting my belly rubbed because I think it is pretty straight forward. I think most humans would love to lie on their back during the middle of their busy day and have someone rub their tummy. I don’t see humans doing this not sure why?

Next week I will be posting details of an incredible photo contest I hope everyone will participate; it is going to be great!

Hey the weather this week in Sunny Sidney by the Sea is awesome and I hope some of you will come out to see me and maybe even have a play date in the park. Don’t forget to check out some of my favorite book suggestions and coming soon I will post some of my favorite recipes’. Well I have to go now, I have been awake for almost 30 minutes, this blogging is tiring and I think I need another nap.
