Okay. No video of dogs this week because you know who had film of his dogs? Hitler.
That and I haven’t had time.
On the other hand Beckham has recently decided that he REALLY likes going outside to poop and pee at 4AM-ish. I try to take him out before going to bed but he just lays on the bed like a beached Limbaugh and won’t move. Then, around 4, he gets about as alert as he ever gets outside of dinner time and jumps off the bed, goes to my side of the bed and nudges me. Then he whines. and pants and looks at me with big puppy “I gotta go” eyes. So it’s put on some clothes, take him outside,poop pee (him not me) and then back in the house, back to bed. Since I go to bed about 12:30 each night and the alarm goes off at 5:30, I’m not sleeping much. Mrs tbogg thinks my punchiness makes me funnier. Thank Jeebus my car knows the way to work so I can get a little nap in.
Dogs. These may or not be repeats. I’m too tired to go look. (Update) The Beckham one was a repeat so new one with Mrs tbogg’s car as a neutral backdrop.

UR CAR IS A VW. U KNOW HTLR MADE TEH VW?
Hitler only liked pure breeds.
You know what happens to old people (Beckham). They need less sleep. And they pee frequently. At least he’s waking you up. Once he’s really old and grouchy, he’ll skip that step.
Hitler also pooped and peed on the lawn at 4am…
Mrs. TBogg and Mrs. Cap’n Phealy have similar taste in cars. Actually, the main reason we went with the Beetle convertible is that it’s one of the few convertibles, possibly the only one, with the same amount of headroom as the hardtop model. At 6’7″, I really need every bit of headroom I can get in a car.
You need to go to sleep earlier, silly. But I am glad to hear you’re not pooping in the lawn. Yet.
captphealy:
You’re 6’7″ and you drive a Beetle?
Your name wouldn’t be Harry Dresden, would it?
No disrespect to dog lovers intended, but this post is exactly why I have a cat.
Why put on clothes? it’s 4:30 in the morning; who’s looking?
Indeed – it’s San Diego, after all. Try letting a dachshund out at 5 AM when it’s 3 degrees and snowing.
Hee – Beckham’s on Arthur’s schedule. ‘Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeese get up, GWPDA. PLEEEEEEEEEEESE.’ ‘Unggggawhhh.’ Arthur’s got his own door outside, I don’t need to be involved.
Becks, evil looking little bastid, god I love him
My dog Wendy did the same damned thing this morning! Did Beckham call and put her up to that? I get up at 5, and she barked her “I have to go out and pee” bark at 4 am. Just enough time for me to come downstairs, put her out, let her back in, and crawl back to bed, where I laid for the next hour, glassy-eyed and unable to fall back to sleep.
No one else in the house can hear that bark, even though she’s closer to all three of my sons’ rooms. It’s like a dog whistle in reverse: she barks at 4 am and I’m the only one who can hear her.
Tom, if you lived in a less-population-dense urban hell hole (sunshine or not) you wouldn’t bother with the clothes. Rural living does have it’s advantages. I don’t put anything for the 2:30 or 4 Am runs outside, except boots in the winter. I get to pee too, whichis also a plus.
I suspect Beckham has figured out that 4am is the one time of day/night that he can have you all to himself, without that interloper coming along for the trip. He’s a clever one.
Hey, folks, of course TBogg puts on clothes to accompany dog-pooping at 4AM. It’s like the legendary Englishman who dresses for dinner in the heart of the jungle; TBogg is upholding the stylish standards of southern California.
Btw, Beckham is looking more like Winston Churchill every Thursday.
He needs a pipe to go with that face.
Must be something in the air. Our basset did the 4 a.m. shtick two days running this week. But he lost interest in that, too.
