What duties has your dog appointed themselves?

Reading Dawn's post about Bond being 'official bathroom dog' made me giggle. :lol:

Tiggy has appointed herself official referee of all boxing matches between Rastus and Rowdy. They cannot argue about the best spot on the cushion or spar when they're bored without Tiggy rushing over to bully on in...... er, referee.

I often call her the fun police but she is very offended at my making mock of her important refereeing duties. :P

1. Official food tester. Nothing gets chopped, cooked or eaten without Miss K testing it.

2. Bathroom official, here' let me hold your pants down with my paw.

3. Harry is body guard. He is always next to me, now sometimes leaving me presents as he sleeps.

4. Greeter: Harry outside the car, "Did you bring me blessed bread from church?" and Miss K as I enter the house, "Let me jump up and give you a kiss."
Harry is in "management". He manages Tim taking out the trash.


And his newest "job" is Bert. 8O
Sometimes I can tell he is worn out from this "job". :lol:
Harry really doesn't need to take this "job" so seriously. :roll:



Bert has appointed himself the duty of body slamming Harry while Harry is trying to go to the bathroom.
Charm is our guardian. She begins the night on the bathroom tiles but always finishes her rest in the upstairs hallway. We have observed her walking around the house at night and standing sentry at the window.

She is also Rocky's boss. She keeps him on his toes as far as her meal, walk and treat schedule. Very vocal and worse, if he doesn't leap to his feet 8O
Benson is our office manager. She spends her days in Hubby's office while he works, and her nights in my office while I work.

She also watches world events (like those pesky chipmunks!) from her secret attic spy window.

Syd is official taste tester and "Dish Licker" and quality controller of beds. Oh and also interior designer of beds, NAH, all those pillows and doona have to come off !!! 8O :roll: :P

Brie is a official "Fog Horn" must be old age!!! (Me....at night...Who's snoring :?: is that hubby :?: , NAH it's brie :!: ), pity I cant kick her and get her to role over of a night time, between DH and Brie they would both make official good "Fog Horns" on a foggy night if someone was lost~~~~:lol: :lol:

Babette is tiggys cousin and yep, the fun police, dobber, bark bark bark guess what my brother is up too (Psst Mim, must run in the lines). Dob in a sibling and report that someone with 4 paws in the house is up to no good. :roll: :lol: :lol: Ruler of the roost and a typical "Bitch", pushy and butts her way in with the others, we do luv her so much and laugh at her with the nick name "Babbles" here she goes again dobbing in her brother or letting us know something is not right :cow: .

Thought this is appropriate with bitches :wink: :lol: :lol:

Leonard has appointed himself many things
-official cat herder, finder and groomer (if the cat is hiding anywhere, Leonard will find the cat on command, no matter where the cat may have hidden himself http://instagram.com/p/hzu8MsMhFK/

-cat disciplinary assistant (if we tell the cat off for being somewhere he isn't supposed to be he will run to wherever the cat is and chase him away as if to help us out)

-driveway clearing assistant- he will chase the snow and actually pull the shovel around, this is a job taken very seriously)

-primary greeter and vetoer of guests and pests (I recently had somebody visit our house who Leonard took zero interest in and went out of his way to ignore, he tolerated petting but had to be chased down by the person. I found this odd as he has never acted this way before ever and usually goes out of his way to greet people and let them know how much he LOOOOVES them. This person turned out to be bad news bears, guess he was trying to tell me something).

-Official deck watcher (duties include sitting on the deck for hours at a time superivisng the construction workers building an adjacent house and ensuring that the deck stays put) http://instagram.com/p/dx-DeOshJY/

-Ottoman warmer (http://instagram.com/p/jF-pd2MhMl/

-Wake up brigade (as soon as our alarm clocks go off there is a lot of nose nudging, bum wiggling and pawing until we get out of bed)

-Human guarder (if both humans are home Leonard will be unable to pick just one to guard, instead he will find a spot that is in between the humans and attempt to watch both humans at once)

-Human assistant (if either of the humans he is guarding decide to get up to go anywhere or move at all, it is his duty to jump up and follow/assist any and all activities- even when sound asleep). *Human guarding and assisting include attempting to follow humans to the bathroom, watch them when they bath, break into the garage to follow humans and apply even to movements that are tiny, say crossing the room.

Rufus has not taken it upon himself to be involved in all aspects of life he has fewer duties
-Dishwasher inspector (only of dirty dishes)

-Companion, (hang out with humans unless they are doing something scary, like cleaning or moving)

-Couch buddy

-Assistant to the cat finder (part time basis)

-Sheep dog calmer downer (one growl calms down the rowdy white and grey one)

-Greeter to select non-scary guests http://instagram.com/p/gJsFkLshDf/

All of them do this though.... http://instagram.com/p/gJsFkLshDf/
That ottoman warming job!
Sheesh you work the poor boy to hard!! :sidestep:
