From time to time, we may feature an interview for your entertainment and edification. This week, we bring you that famous picker-upper of rats:
Riley Q. Dog:
Intrepid Interviewer: Hello – may I just call you Riley?
Riley: Yes, of course and I am real pleased to be here. You don’t have any cookies do you?
II: Maybe later. How did you end up being interviewed here today?
Riley: Well actually, Mom got a 50mm lens for her camera this week, so she has a boatload of indoor pictures of me and nothing else to write about this morning. How much later on those cookies?
II: Pretty soon. So, how do you feel about having your picture taken all the time?
Riley: Whoa! Did you hear that?
II: No, I didn’t hear anything.
Riley: I thought I heard something.
II: Nothing. Now where were we?
Riley: You were about to give me a cookie I think.
II: Maybe later.
Riley: Whoa! You heard that, right?
II: There is nothing.
Riley: I thought for sure I heard something. How are we coming with the cookies?
II: Pretty soon. Do you have any hobbies?
Riley: I like to take these string thingies off all my toys. The string thingies must die. Usually I get cookies for doing this.
II: I don’t think so.
Riley: I am getting tired of this interview.
II: It has only been going on for a few minutes.
Riley: It seems like a lot longer.
II: I do have some cookies.
Riley: I like cookies!
II: Just a few more questions first?
Riley: And then there will be cookies?
II: Yes – then there will be cookies.
Riley: Wait – did you hear that?
II: No, I didn’t hear anything. Nothing. There IS nothing.
Riley: It sounded like one of satan’s chief minions to me.
II: You hear one of satan’s chief minions right now?
Riley: Yes, it’s the one who drives that big brown truck.
II: That is not one of satan’s chief minions! It’s the UPS man! And he won’t be by for hours!
Riley: I thought I heard him.
II: No, you didn’t. Time for another question – how does it feel to live with a world famous blogger?
Riley: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Oh that was a good one! World famous —– Hahahahahahahahahahahahah! I am sure this interview will help though. Still waiting on those cookies you know!
II: Okay – you have earned cookies. Just one last question – how do you explain your great popularity?
Riley: Look at this face – what do you think?
II: Point taken. Thanks for your time and enjoy your cookies.
Riley: Whoa! Did you hear that?

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Very cute dog – we have one too! :)
dogs rock! nicely done Riley!!
Thanks so much for the laugh. You have no idea how much I needed it!!!!
And I want a cookie too.
Wait!!! Did you hear that?
LOL

Wow! Riley has such a great attention span.
It’s great to know that other dogs besides mine are truly humans trapped in the bodies of dogs. :-)
Too funny! and the photos of Riley are fab!
Thanks for stopping by my page ;) Love the interview…adorable dog!
That 2nd to last picture is just adorable!
Riley, you are ADORABLE!!
And very articulate!
May I have your paw-graph?
My dachsies LOVE vanilla wafers. What is your favorite kind of cookie?
bwahahahahaha
this was a FABULOUS interview. Loved it. Is it ok if I link to this on my blog?

Yep, that would be fine Tara!
Riley only gets actual dog cookies – the human kind give him terrible gas!
Riley says hello to everyone ;)
This message is for WeeZee ….. I know she reads these things ….. your sister has just one upped you…. dog interviews! I know you don’t want it to come to this ….. dog interviews, but it may come to this ….if you want to get your blog to become more world renowned. You have beautiful well trained dogs and I have enjoyed reading about them but I think it’s going to take provacative mug shots with one ear cocked and a slight wink in the eye.
Love ya both!

Oh my goodness, what a fascinating interview. I was riveted. I think Riley earned his cookies! I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with your new lens.
My eldest daugher and I are Riley’s newest fans!
Those are two of the most awesome dog ears I have ever seen.
That’s our Ri-Ri.
Oh man! He is so cute!!!! I knew we picked him for a good reason.
CM are you trying to start a sisterly competition? I assure you Dlyn and I have never engaged in such childish behavior. (hmmm was that thunder?)
Thanks for the laugh! GREAT pics! Did he get his cookies??
I love the “Wait did you hear that?” It had me cracking up!!!
I love the “Wait did you hear that?” It had me cracking up!!!
Dlyn and Weezee … LOL!
I was wondering two things …. why there weren’t pictures of Riley enjoying his cookies …. and …. does he really bite if I pull into your driveway and get out of my car? (I’m just planning my strategy, should this be necessary when I finally some day do it! ….. I want so bad to see those day lillies in person.)
CM
I love “Afternoons With Riley”, I wish they aired it over here! (we’d have to change the word cookies to biscuits though).
So very cute, you’re a clever, witty blogger (and I think you’re pretty famous too)
I assure one and all that he did get his cookies – he was pretty tired of getting his picture taken though and those ones did not come out very well.
And Mark, I was not kidding about staying in your car. Once he decides that he loves someone, he adores them, but he is very suspicious of anyone he doesn’t know.
OK, now I want cookies! Mmm . . . cookies.
Riley is quite the comedian. Good looking, too. Too bad I don’t do the cross species thing, he’s a keeper.

He’s adorable! What a face…
I interviewed one of my dogs a while back and now the other one wants her camera time.
They’re fun aren’t they?
Very, very funny and great post!! I loved it! Take care and have a great weekend – Kellan

Ha!!!! Loved the interview! Riley has a longer attention span than my Sierra…but loves cookies just as much!
You are funny~~~~
That was too funny!!! Riley is adorable..I love his ears…too cute!!
That was GREAT! What a cute boy.
Can Riley come live here? I think I love Riley … hee hee!
You’re a hoot. I got a great laugh out of that.

I was smiling the whole time I was reading this post. Loved it!
OH RILEY I love you. I have just the girl dog for you too if you’re looking for a soul mate. Her name is Dixie and she will share her cookies with you.
What’s that Dixie?
Woof!
I’m sorry Riley…Dixie says that she wants YOUR cookies. =)
p.s. I was smiling the entire I was reading the interview. Thanks! Love your blog!
