LOL it was labeled as being part of a 90s collection.

“Hello, Pet Store? This is Olaf. I’d like to place an order for all of the treats in your store. I’d also like to order a new phone that isn’t from the 90’s, but I guess I’ll have to call a different store for that. Thanks!” #Dogs #DogsofBluesky

We do not have that one, but we do have several puzzle toys that he likes to play with.
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Not at all 😀
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Anyone who says that dogs cannot tell time has probably never had a dog. They absolutely know!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
He has a very fluffy tail 😀
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
He made an executive decision 😀

Technically, he was a bit early. But I suppose it was close enough for him 😂
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Apparently so 🤣
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m on it!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
I believe that this is Olaf telling me that it is time for me to quit work for the day and feed him dinner 😂 #Dogs #DogsofBluesky

Happy Dog Day!

Olaf would like to wish a Happy National / International Dog Day to all of the dogs, pet parents, and everyone else who just enjoys dogs out there! #Dogs #DogsofBluesky

We started this training indoors, working on concepts such as “watch me” and “leave it” in the house, with no distractions. As he began to do well consistently indoors, we began to move the training outside. We started with no distractions and then worked up to doing it with distractions.

We have been working on concept training with Olaf over the past 6 weeks or so. His progress has been remarkable! He is no longer barking and lunging when he sees other dogs on a walk, and now he calmly looks up at us for a treat. His calmness and confidence keep growing! #Dogs #DogsofBluesky

I am powerless against his charms 😀
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
He has mastered his craft 😂
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
He is our little snowman 😀
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
He has us very well trained 😀
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
Olaf has pretty much mastered the art of getting me to do whatever he wants me to do. I am basically putty in his hands (well, paws). There is no resisting this look, and I think he knows it! #Dogs #DogsofBluesky
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
They certainly do look quite a bit alike!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
Picture #1 was taken Friday at 9:30 AM. Picture #2 was taken Saturday at 9:30 AM. I should give this series a title of either “Variations on a theme” or “My lap belongs to Olaf.” I’m so glad he’s only 8 pounds! #Dogs #DogsofBluesky
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
He’s a Maltese, possibly mixed with something else.
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
He really is a very cute little dog! People always stop us when we’re out on walks, asking about him and wanting to pet him.
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
I decided to take a quick afternoon backyard break with Olaf. I brought out a soft mat so that he could relax comfortably on the deck. But as you can see, Olaf decided he’d rather relax next to the mat, on the wood 😂 #Dogs #DogsofBluesky

The channel is called Siesta Dog TV. We only watched it that one time, but it looks like they post videos regularly.
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
I always enjoy encountering dogs at the airport. On our last flight back in January, there were two dogs on our plane, including a small schnauzer that sat right in front of us.
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Thanks!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Completely. He’s not snoring yet, but that’s probably coming 😂
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
I looked over to my right and just had to take a picture 🥰
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
Olaf is enjoying a nice snooze on a sunny Saturday afternoon. And in an increasingly rare moment, he’s actually sleeping next to me on the couch instead of camping out on my lap! #Dogs #DogsofBluesky
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Absolutely! He’d devour a real version of that dinner in a minute.
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Feel better soon! At the very least, you have excellent little caregivers 😀
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Thanks!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
It didn’t seem relaxing at all!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Olaf often pays attention to people on TV, and will even follow their eyes. We were once watching a show where the people were looking at something off screen, and Olaf got up and walked to the side of the TV at which they were looking, to see if he could see what they were looking at 😀
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
It may work for many dogs, but we definitely got a different result than anticipated from Olaf!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
At the very least, we know what channel to tune into if we want to rile him up 😂
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
My wife found a channel on YouTube that presents videos that are supposed to help dogs to feel calm and relaxed. Here is a video she took of Olaf “relaxing” to that channel 🤣🤣🤣 #Dogs #DogsofBluesky

They train us well!

Here is a link to it on Chewy www.chewy.com/frisco-micro...
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Bonus points to Rufus if he figures that out! I’d would be an impressive feat.
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
It really was. He held onto it for the entire walk, too!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
It was pretty funny! This was the first time he had wanted to bring a toy out with him.
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
We bought Olaf a new “Frozen TV Dinner” toy, which was delivered by Chewy today. He loved it so much that he decided he wanted to bring one of the pieces out on his walk! This is him carrying his “grilled chicken drumstick” in his mouth 😂 #Dogs #DogsofBluesky
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
I still can’t believe that he was a puppy mill dog before the rescue agency got him. He’s just taken to living with us so quickly, and he just doesn’t exhibit any of the typical puppy mill dog behaviors.
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
He’s such a good little boy 😀
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Thanks!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
Olaf’s transformation into a total lapdog is now complete. If my wife is in the room with us, he’ll typically hang out between the two of us. But if my wife leaves the room or isn’t with us, he immediately crawls into my lap. He’s such a cute and lovable little dog 🥰 #Dogs #DogsofBluesky
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Good point!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
This is the view to my immediate right. I’m trying to decide if I should go in for a belly rub or a face squeeze. Maybe I’ll just do both 😀 #Dogs #DogsofBluesky
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
We both pretty much melt when he looks at us that way 😍

Our little man is just chilling in his seat as we go for a ride in the car. He’s such a good boy! #Dogs #DogsofBluesky
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
As I post this, we are in the midst of a severe thunderstorm. Olaf is fast asleep on the couch and isn’t bothered by this at all! He was also great with the fireworks over the Fourth of July weekend. I am just so happy that none of this scares him! #Dogs #DogsofBluesky

I’m particularly a fan of the shrimp that is attached to the rim 😂

It’s ironic, because as we have been training him, he’s been training us as well 😂
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
I wasn’t quick enough with the camera to capture him killing that toy. This was just the aftermath 😂
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
LOL he can be! He’s usually pretty chill, but when he wants to play, he lets us know 🤣
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
Here is Olaf demanding that I put down the camera and play with him and his Bloody Mary toy. Of course, I then put down the camera and played with him. This is basically his house, and we’re just living in it 😂 #Dogs #DogsofBluesky
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Thanks, and same to you!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep, he’s learned that trick as well!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
This is Olaf letting me know that I neglected to wipe his face after he ate his breakfast. Don’t worry, Olaf, I’m on it now! #Dogs #DogsofBluesky
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)
I have a pretty bizarre sense of humor, and often think of completely absurd things that make me laugh. The image below is an example of this. It is also a prime example of why I probably should not be allowed to play with AI image generators 😂

Yesterday marked the 3 month anniversary of Olaf’s adoption! He is a lovable, playful, curious and super smart little dog. And he’s also super cute! We are so happy to have found him, and we’re so lucky to have him as part of our family! #Dogs #DogsofBluesky
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
We aren’t sure, as he was a rescue. The rescue agency said he is a Maltese, but we think he is some sort of Maltese mix. Possibly a Morkie, or Maltipoo or Maltichon.
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social) reply parent
I really don’t mind when he curls up on me, and I’m very happy that he feels comfortable enough with me to do so!
Rob Miller (@robmiller724.bsky.social)

Olaf is demonstrating part of his typical morning routine. After we wake up, feed him, take him for a walk and then play with him, he always grabs a toy and brings it over to the same sunspot. He’ll then spend most of the day next to me while I work. He is such a good dog! #Dogs #DogsofBluesky
