March 3rd is If Pets Had Thumbs Day! (It’s also Rooney’s Grandma’s Birthday!)
I was just made aware of this day and I think it provides an excellent opportunity to think about what our pets would do if they had thumbs.
Here is my list of things Rooney would absolutely do if he had thumbs:
- Open doors so that he could run around the neighborhood and visit his friends
- Send love letters to his girlfriend Shasta
- Get treats out of the treat jar regularly
- Open the fridge at snack time
For a chance to win two 25lb bags of Petcurean dog food (our favorite), leave a comment below and tell me what you think your dog would do if they had thumbs!
Why do you want to try Petcurean?
- They have a PhD in Pet Nutrition
- They are a Family Owned Business
- Their food is high-quality and excellent
- Rooney loves it!
I can’t wait to read the entries!
Also, yesterday marked the end of our 20 Day Dental Health Challenge. How did it go for you?
Here are my results.
I definitely brushed Rooney’s teeth more often throughout the month. However, it was really important for me to leave the toothbrush in a location where I was easily reminded.
How did the challenge help you?

February 29, 2016 at 11:01 amIf my dogs had thumbs, they’d open the back door and go outside whenever they want (we have gates across our driveway, so I have to be sure they are secure before letting my dogs out so having them be able to let themselves out would NOT be a good thing). As it is, they already

March 4, 2016 at 6:43 amI agree! Rooney having ultimate freedom would be dangerous. I am very glad that I can keep him safe.

February 29, 2016 at 11:31 amIf my dog(s) had thumbs I would be in big trouble. I have an 8 yr old border collie/black lab and a 5 month old Pekapoo. They are the best of friends even with their difference in size. If they had thumbs, my husband I would have to move into the barn because they would be into everything!!!! We wouldn’t have a chance.
Rachel
March 4, 2016 at 6:41 amLOL…lots of mischief to be had! Love it!
Mary
February 29, 2016 at 12:59 pmMy dog would definitely open doors and get into mischief!
Rachel
March 4, 2016 at 6:40 amSounds like your dog and Rooney would get along very well 🙂

March 4, 2016 at 6:40 amWould you guys get into the treat jar?

February 29, 2016 at 2:45 pmWell, we aren’t dogs, but if we had thumbs, we would open every can of cat food in the house. 🙂
Rachel
March 4, 2016 at 6:39 amLol! Some dogs might do that too!

February 29, 2016 at 3:02 pmIf my dogs had thumbs they would be able to hold and eat an ice cream cone, peeling a banana. Hold the phone and text me.

February 29, 2016 at 5:49 pmIf Bentley and Pierre had thumbs they would constantly be declaring “Thumb War” on each other. “One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war!”

March 3, 2016 at 8:46 amHehe…those two are so funny!
Linda
March 1, 2016 at 5:21 amOooh he would get into mischief with thumbs, he already gets into trouble without them! He would probably go straight for the sealed dog treat tupperware. 🙂
Rachel
March 3, 2016 at 8:42 amI think that’s what Rooney would do as well!
Jordan
March 1, 2016 at 6:27 amMy dog would definitely open doors and get into the treat cabinet.
Rachel
March 3, 2016 at 8:36 amAccess to food looks like a trend with most dogs thus far 🙂
Kathy
March 1, 2016 at 12:33 pmIf my pup had thumbs he would definitely get into the fridge and treats!
Rachel
March 3, 2016 at 8:30 amRooney too!
Tiffany's Diamond Dogs
March 2, 2016 at 8:12 amIf Bella had thumbs, she would let herself out for a walk anytime she wanted to go on an outdoor adventure. If Terra had thumbs, she would get into the snack jar and fridge to eat all day! If Kronos had thumbs, he would get his toys out of the closets to play with.

March 3, 2016 at 8:30 amHow cute all of your dogs have a different favorite thing! I think Rooney might have a hard time deciding what he wants to do next lol
Tessa
March 3, 2016 at 2:32 pmMy dog would get into all kinds of trouble if he had thumbs! Probably go for the food first 🙂
Rachel
March 4, 2016 at 6:37 amYes! I am not sure if Rooney would eat food first, or start with some shenanigans lol

March 3, 2016 at 4:01 pmMy girl would definately busy herself opening the treats cabinet!

Stephanie o'day
March 3, 2016 at 6:00 pmMy guess is that he would play video games all day while my husband and I are at work!!
Rachel
March 4, 2016 at 6:36 amLol…I never thought of that one! I wonder what Rooney’s favorite video game would be…
Jennifer
March 3, 2016 at 6:09 pmwould definitely find a way to get more food.
Rachel
March 4, 2016 at 6:35 amRooney too! This seems to be a theme 🙂

March 7, 2016 at 5:52 amThe thought of Jax with thumbs is flat out frightening. There is no limit to the things he would be into.
