Based on actual events.
Guess how I found out Toby could jump high enough to reach the counter?
************************
On the recommendation of our dear friend Max, I did check out the AKC’s Museum of the Dog. Oh my gosh, I had no idea such a place existed! It is located in New York City, but I think there should be branches in cities all over the world.
Unfortunately I missed the deadline for submitting a work to be considered for their Dog Days of Summer exhibit which started yesterday. I doubt I would have been chosen, but it would have been a hoot to try. Instead I have been trying to contact the museum to see if a book about a couple of familiar terriers might be a good fit with their gift shop. So far just voice mail messages and email forms but no replies. Toby says he is very much interested in getting into this museum so he can play like Ben Stiller when everyone goes home.
If you would like to see what my boys like to do when they are alone in a museum, pick up a copy of Dream Our World. Dream Our World is available both from my shop and from Amazon.

The Adventures of Bitey Dog 
The Museum of the Dog used to be in the St. Louis area, and we enjoyed visiting it there. I think your books and artwork would be very welcome!
You are so lucky that you got to go! I bet the exhibits were incredible.
Keep your paws crossed that the museum likes the book.๐
LOL.. YES WE MERE HUMANS ALWAYS FIND OUT TH HARD WAY THAT OUR FUR BABIES AR GROWING UP !!!
What strikes me as funny is how much Toby likes banana peels. He goes bonkers for them!๐.
(I wonโt let him eat them on purpose, though, because of the pesticides on them.)
Ought oh! ๐ฎ HA! ๐
Coop is too short to jump up to our counters, but he has jumped from the couch to the ottoman to the coffee table and then landed, finally, on a loveseat…His paws never touching the carpet! HA! He was flying across the room!!!!!!!!!! ๐ I think he even surprised himself! ๐
OOOOH! I hope and hope and hope the museum will be interesting in selling your book and other artworks there!!! ๐
I’d love to visit any museum that features dogs! ๐
HUGS!!! ๐
I thought Toby was too short to reach the counters too. Oops.
Ooh, that would have been so much fun to watch a Flying Cooer! Even pups must like playing The Floor Is Lava.
I hope the museum wants the book too. I know the boys are excited about the possibility.
I wish we all lived closer so we could visit the in person. In canine? En masse?
HA! My adult-kids told me about that show. I need to watch it. ๐
That would be fun! It would be fun to watch the doggies meet up and commiserate about their Human-Beans. ๐ ๐
If Toby ate a banana peel, does that mean he slips and slides as he scoots his butt on the floor? Asking the real questions here…
It was more a matter of how easily the poo was ejected and how far it flew before it landed.
I have heard that the Keystone Cops are interested in his works…
Ahhh…a Pythagoras poop. I understand.
Maverick has never had the opportunity to eat a banananananana peel but he does enjoy a good slice of watermelon!
Once my Max ate the silver wrapper off a cupcake. We were hoping for wrapped poop but alas, it was not to be.
Dang! That wrapped poo would have been worth the experiment. (And if you are a rotten older sibling, you could convince a naive younger sibling it was simply a Ho Ho. Mwahaha!)
By the way, did I catch a hint of Terry Pratchett in your post, Nanny Ogg?
Mayyyyybeeeee
Toby, being able to get on the counter means you are not overweight.
I keep telling mom that, but she insists I exercise more. โน๏ธ
