Hi folks, Indy here!
Here’s a photo of Schultz-y—my new friend and fur baby.
He is kind of huge to be called a baby, and for someone who went on a wild food rampage, his innocent chocolate-brown eyes sure don’t give him away.
His mommy, Sherry Ellis, sent me this cool story.
Schultz’s Dinner
Written by Sherry Ellis
Schultz, our enormous German Shepherd, has been on a rampage lately. I don’t know what his malfunction is, but he’s having some serious issues with staying out of trouble.
A couple of days ago, he went to the pet store and knocked over a whole shelf of goldfish food with his big, bushy tail.
Yesterday, I caught him digging up one of the plants in my garden. And did I mention how filthy he’s been getting? Maybe he thinks he can do whatever he wants now that Santa’s already been here with a delivery of treats for his stocking.
Anyway, today’s episode involved food—human food. I was attempting to make spaghetti. As I pulled the noodles out of the box, a bunch fell onto the floor. Guess who was there to clean up? Yep, Schultz. Apparently, he likes munching on uncooked spaghetti noodles.
“Schultz, yuck!” I said.
He cocked his head and kept crunching. He ate about a third of a box of those things.
Later, my son put his vanilla milkshake on the kitchen chair. I don’t know why he did this, but I didn’t catch it. Schultz did. When I walked into the room, there was Schultz, with his big schnoz in the cup, licking up the milkshake.
“Schultz!” I hollered. “What do you think you’re doing?”
He pulled his snout out of the cup and looked at me. His black face was covered with splotches of vanilla ice cream. He put his nose back in and licked some more.
“Oh, no you don’t,” I said. “Crate!”
I confiscated the milkshake and locked him up in jail. That’s where he’s going to stay for a very long time!
The End 🙂
And I thought I got into mischief. Hee hee! Way to go, Schultz-y. 🙂
Please support Schultz’s good behavior by popping over to my Fur Babies page. I’ve got more dirt on him, not to mention a very handsome photo on display.

Oh, Eliz. You’re creative flair for music, melts my heart.
Thanks for your wonderful input! 🙂
There’s never a dull moment with Schultz in the house!
Sherry Ellis recently posted..Mama’s Date
Good for Schultz – you’ve got to learn early to take every opportunity that presents itself 😀
Long Life Cats and Dogs recently posted..Kitty Yoga
That he does! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Schultz has certainly mastered the “take every opportunity” thing!
Sherry Ellis recently posted..Mama’s Date
Perhaps Schultz is “going for broke.” Maybe he’s decided it’s worth a try, even if there are consequences. Thanks for sharing his story. By the way, is he named after the guard on Hogan’s Heroes?
Schultz acts like a child, doesn’t he? I hope Sherry chimes in to let us know if Schultz was named after the guard on Hogan’s Hereos. I loved that show. Thanks for bringing that memory to the surface, Linda! 🙂
Yes, Schultz is named for Srgt.Schultz on Hogan’s Heros. And he knows nothing – absolutely nothing!
Sherry Ellis recently posted..Mama’s Date
Linda, thanks so much for asking that question. I hadn’t even thought that Schultz might be named after Srgt. Schultz. :-)Thanks, Sherry for enlightening Linda and I.
Dry spaghetti and milkshake, interesting diet. My dog is equally naughty. Even opened a box of cupcakes!
Catherine Johnson recently posted..Polar opposites
Now, Catherine, your dog sounds like an interesting character. Don’t you just love fur babies? 🙂
Schultz thinks it’s better than kibbles!
Sherry Ellis recently posted..Mama’s Date
Yes our fur babies can be rather creative,however, perhaps not all as well spoken as Indy. Happy Birthday to Kathryn too!!!
Thank you, Terrol. I’ll have to keep my reading and typing up. Buff! Happy Birthday, Aunt Kathryn! 🙂
To all my faithful readers, I hope you’ll take time to check out my Fur Babies! page. Remember, I worked hard to add more juicy dirt on Schultz-y, and you should see the Valentine photo he sent me. Thanks, folks! – Indy
Thank you for Tracy’s permission to post this. I am a part of a search group looking for a missing Fur Baby. His name is Flare and he is a very large Red Golden retriever…Flare has his own Facebook Page….feel free to visit us for all the details…Finding Flare on FB………..thanks again Tracy…we need to get this fur-baby home to his Oshawa Ontario family
Indy here! No problemo, Terrol. Thank you for caring about us fur babies and creating Flare’s special facebook page. Can you attach the link? Buff!

This is the correct link.
Thanks, Terrol for providing the link!
Cute story! I love my dog, even when she is driving me crazy!
Thanks, Paula. My dogs drive me crazy sometimes, too! But I don’t have to change diapers and they don’t talk back. 🙂
Schultz is thrilled to be a guest here! Thanks for having him!
Sherry Ellis recently posted..Abe on the Bus
My pleasure, Sherry! He’s so adorable.
By the way, Linda wants to know if you named him after Schultz from the show “Hogan’s Heros”? 🙂
Yes, I did! He knows nothing, too!
Sherry Ellis recently posted..Mama’s Date
Always fun to read the exploits of Schultz, the cat doesn’t mind a mutt as long as he doesn’t sniff his butt haha
Pat Hatt recently posted..The Lame Is Around And Easily Found!
Hi Pat, nice to meet you. And Schultz’s exploits are hilarious.
Thanks so much for stopping! 🙂
Cat wouldn’t like Schultz, then, because Schultz always sticks his nose where it doesn’t belong!
Sherry Ellis recently posted..Mama’s Date
Great post Tracy they are so adorable 🙂

They are, that’s for sure. Thanks, Jake. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🙂
Congrats on your blog awards! Some pets are a handful! Glad we only have to deal with a hamster and a fish 🙂
Tina, thanks. Blog awards are a nice way to let others know they’re thinking of you. Enjoy your hamster and fish. 🙂
I love this story! I owned a german shepherd until she died at 16 years old. She was just like this her entire life 🙂 Others called her trouble, her name was Nikki. This is hilarious! Love it 🙂
