Wacky Weimy Wednesday: Yogurt Babies

My little Wacky Weimies sure do go crazy for yogurt! They each get a spoonful every night & then since I'm a big pushover, I also let them lick my bowl after I finish mine. Sorry to those of you who are shuddering right now at the idea of dog slobber on people dishes! I guess you could call Caleb and Cabela my "pre-rinse" cycle. ;) I figure these new age, fancy schmancy dishwashers of ours get hot enough to take care of the germs. Plus, since Caleb insists on tongue kissing me on a regular basis (he always gets me when I'm not paying attention!) and it hasn't killed me yet, I figure I'm good. :)

Anyway, our breeder starts giving yogurt to their dogs when they're just little pups. Just like for us, yogurt is really good for doggies...especially for their guts. Also, with floppy eared dogs, infection can be fairly common and the yogurt helps to keep their ears clear.

As you can see here, they really enjoy this treat...keep your eyes peeled starting around 22 seconds. This is where Caleb starts being a yogurt hog & Cabela starts getting a little ticked. I can't help but giggle when she does this. I should probably be admonishing her, but she cracks me up. Plus, there's never any malice behind it...she just needs to make it clear that she's not happy. ;)

P.S. Please excuse the clunking dryer noise in the background. That would be the sound of my "Kuntry Chic" overalls...I always forget to fasten the straps before throwing 'em in! So annoying!

  1. How I love your Wacky Weimies! Seeing Cabela snarl at Caleb is hilarious!
    And you won't get any doggie germs from the doggies licking your bowl! It doesn't bother me one bit, supposedly dogs have very clean mouths, which is hard to believe since all they do is eat poo, dirt, lick their paws and butts....and you know the rest!

    My dogs do exactly the same.

  3. The yogurt idea is a great one! I'm sure it's as good for them as it is for us (I'm hearing the "Activiaaaaaaaa" song in my head as I type this.)
    My parents use their dog to clean their bowls before washing, too. Doesn't bother me a bit. It shouldn't, since I inhale half of my horse's dirty poo and fly spray dust every day, LOL!
