At one point he even decided to taste it! Mom almost freaked! hehehe
Today was rainy and yucky and while mom was cooking Mitch decided that WE should play tug! He first tried to stare me down!
That didn't work so now he's biting at my collar trying to get me all riled up!
It always starts out so sweetly. He nips gently! See his foot touching my foot? This ALWAYS means trouble!I really don't want to play - I'd much rather watch mom and make sure that she doesn't drop anything! I need to be close by so that I can be the first one to snatch it! Mitch is really being insistent!
Well, okay! You asked for it!

We think the picture looks like you too - don't forget to blog when you get an answer.
ReplyDeletePS we want a bit of the picture too.
Maggie, It's exhausting! I know exactly what that's like, when you have to play bitey head all the time. It's so frustrating.

Gosh, that does look like Mitch. The people who run the Planet Airedale site that we go on lots (you should join up, it's a lovely bunch of Dale's and their humans) have had quite a few problems with people stealing their photos to use for paintings and advertising.

Wowzers, that DOES look like Mitch!
ReplyDeletePeople should ask before using photos - I'm just sayin'.
I'd LOVE to come over and play with you guys!!!
Play bows,

Wow that looks a lot like Mitchy! Lola tries to get me to play tug all the time too but she gets in big trouble when she bites my collar.
ReplyDeletePenny
Mum was cooking and he didn't want to stand by her feet and have a starring contest with her....thats crazy.
ReplyDeleteThat picture sure looks alot like him....
Deetz
things took an ugly turn there at the end, huh Maggie? Mitch just doesn't know when to back off - it's a rookie mistake for sure.
ReplyDeleteAbby & Rosie
Congrats on the award! And yes, I'd say that picture is definitely Mitch. Isn't ebay fun? You can find such awesome things on it. I hope you find out the answer to your question.
ReplyDeleteThat painting really does look like Mitch.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl and show him who is in charge. None of that upstart nonsense. We Alpha girls have to show the brothers who is boss.
Thank you Maggie and Mitch. You guys are very cute too. I wish my ears didn't stick up like they do. They have been kinda freaky looking lately. One sticks up and the other lays over my eye....Its really weird.
ReplyDeletePaw hugs
Deetz
That is a cool picture and it does look like Mitch...

Awesome painting! It sure does look like Mitch!
ReplyDeleteIke
Maggie, I think you had the right idea. Sometimes being near Mom when she cooks can really pay off!
ReplyDeleteThat painting sure is pretty!
ReplyDeleteI don't have to wear a lampshade, but mom is thinking about it because I have been licking!!
That painting sure does capture Mitch, doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteAnd being a younger pup myself, I understand the need to prod the bear once in a while to stir up a game of tug. :)
Happy Tails,
William Tell
Well, I can see why you might think the painting is of you. You are so good looking! Your picture as you are sneaking through the dooe shows how cunning you are.
ReplyDeleteSharon and Snickers
That pictures closely resembles Mitch for sure! I bet artist found his pictures, fell in love with Mitch, then painted him!
ReplyDeleteMy human's brother (my other uncle)has a friend that paints dogs and sells them on ebay...I think I'm going to be painted soon! Woohoo for being still art!
Slurp!
Mr. T-Bone Beasley

Hi, Maggie and Mitch!

ReplyDelete;o)
M & I
That really look like Mitch! Any reply from them yet?
ReplyDeleteThat doggie in the painting sure looks like Mitch. You're so nice to play with him. :)
ReplyDelete~ Girl girl
Ah yes, I sometimes have to use my fierce bitey face too when junior gets to thinkin he can have MY toys.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that painting. You guys all look the same to me (does that make me a dogist or something)?
Slobbers,
Mango
The dog in the painting really look like Mitch. I think its really him. I wonder if the artist will answer to the email your mum sent her.
ReplyDeleteLuv

I love the painting! I hope the artist tells your mom if it really is you. I don't think that using a photo as a basis for a painting is the same thing as stealing an actual photo to use for commercial purposes. If you find out differently, let us all know. My mom painted a portrait of the dog they had before me. It's pretty cool. Cooper
ReplyDeleteMaggie & Mitch,
ReplyDeleteMy mommy has noticed you wear doggy bandanas quite a lot. She wanted me to ask you if your mommy makes them for you or if she buys them or if someone else makes them for you?
Love,
Josie
Hey, Maggsie & MItchMan!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your award, and thanks for passing it on to us! You were one of our first friends on DWB, so it means a LOT coming from you guys.
That painting looks TOTALLY like Mitch. Let us know what the artist says.
Maggsie, I feel your pain. Stella is ALWAYS at me to play with her, even after I make her chase me all over the yard to wear her out. Sometimes a dog just wants to be alone, ya know? I know you know.
Goober love & sympathetic smooches,
Stanley
Oooh, looks exactly like Mitch! Maybe it IS him! I bet the artist just can;'t resist Mitch's good looks that she just had to paint him...Great award you got there!
ReplyDeleteLove licks,
Solid Gold Dancer
So glad you let me know your mom makes your bandanas! Now, my mommy wants to know if she just cuts a 22X22 square and hem the sides? My mommy sure is getting pushy with these questions!!
ReplyDeleteMy mommy and daddy are having pizza tonight too! And sometimes, when mommy doesn't feel like eating the crusts, I get them too!!
ReplyDeleteHey i finally did the tag!
ReplyDeleteHope to be posting a bit more!
btw, that painting is great!
You teach him Maggie! There's a time to play and a time to watch for food to get dropped.
ReplyDelete- Charlie
Hi Maggie and Mitch!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful painting! I hope you get an answer soon about the inspiration for it...
Love Clover xo
That painting has to be Mitch. They even have the exact same shadowing on top of the ear.
ReplyDeleteI love tug-o-war too! I always have to win. You two are too cute!
Hugs,
CoCo
How amazing is that to find such an identical painting !!
ReplyDeleteI'm not into tug-o-war either, I much prefer kitchen patrol.
