And He Still Loves Cubes to This Day!

For Dick Greenberg 's Photo Challenge this month, I thought I would share a fun picture of one of our golden retrievers, Maverick.

 

This was July 19, 2014 only two weeks after Maverick adopted our family.  He has always been quite a character. 

 

We learned early on that the Mav had a thing for ice cubes.  On this hot summer day, we treated both boys with a few random cubes on the back porch.  

He didn't waste anytime grabbing one off the ground.

 

Now that Maverick is 2 1/2 years old, he still has a thing for ice cubes.  If we get cubes out of the ice dispenser, he drops everything and comes running like a crazy man watching patiently as the cubes fill our glasses until we grab one and share it with him.  

Our older golden, Rocky just doesn't see the attraction.  He may take an ice cube from our hand but will quickly drop it on the floor to make a nice puddle.

Belinda,

That is adorable.  Funny enough Quincy Cat loves ice cubes.  Every time he hears the ice cubes being dispensed, he wants one to chase all over.  A

Hi Belinda - What a handsome guy! Our ice cube fanatic is Sheldon, but he doesn't eat them - he bats them around on the floor. Thanks for your entry!

It's interesting how some pets like ice cubes while others shun them. My friend has a cat that loves to play with them. Your fur babies sure have grown!

It's definitely a cheap treat! You need to get an action photo of him running to the ice dispenser!

Belinda, Maverick is a very handsome boy. Buddy loves ice cubes as well, I drop a few on the floor on purpose and he runs so fast to get them.

Oh, honey, you had me at Golden!! I'm trying to remember which one of ours had a passion for ice cubes...we've had so many they all run together after awhile.  Look at how handsome he became! Gotta love ALL puppy photos, thanks for another entry, Belinda.

Belinda: It's so interesting the different personalities displayed by our "best friends" from an early stage. I have an English Pointer who chases bats in the dark on our property. And it's almost as if the bats want to play too!

I love that photo Belinda. People who do not have dogs do not understand that they are really people :)

Hi Belinda - nice photos! Rachael's Golden Retriever loves ice cubes, too. Of course, he loves most everything in his mouth.

Belinda, that first photo really captures the "naughty dog" look they get after a mischief-making activity.
