This holiday season UPS drivers will be delivering packages of joy to homes in the form of electronics, toys and ugly Christmas sweaters. But were most thankful for what these drivers are gifting us just by looking at our Facebook feed. Every day, a new set of adorable mugs greet us as drivers complete their routes. During each day, drivers encounter many dogs, most friendly and some not so nice. When time permits, drivers snap a photo and send it in to UPS Dogs. Our followers love the photos and the stories told as we share our love of these special relationships with these lovable creatures.

Cute.
I consider anybody who hates and/or abuses dogs (not just dislikes or are afraid of them from a childhood incident), but just hates dogs as a severely devolved simian.
Those tall things are not dogs.
Our greyhound liked to get in the truck while the driver was bringing the package to the door.
So this is no surprise to me. We order our dog’s food from Chewy because no one stocks the type we need. One day I met the UPS driver getting the Chewy box out of the truck. I had ordered two so he went back to check for the second. I stuck my head inside the truck and saw that the entire truck was full of dog food. The driver said that Chewy only ships a couple of days a week and when they do it all shows up at once.
Instagram has many pics like that..including goats
The pics of little dogs dressed in ups gear are adorable
When some Jehovah Witnesses showed up they left to young kids in the backseat of their car. Our Norwegian elkhound climbed up with them. Ahe was super friendly.
I’m sure goats’ trying to get in your vehicle would be startling!
Ash just liked to ride in cars. She would get out after you drove around the block.
Reminds me of my electric meter reading days. With one exception all the dogs that would come up to me were friendly. The exception was a great dog when you were not at his house. The ugly dogs were the ones who were chained up so I can’t blame them.
I miss the days of having the neighborhood dogs wondering around.
ditto that.
Pookie loved the UPS guy!
Yummy Chummies
Goats are very curious and are worse than dogs thinking you’re there just to see them. The back door still shows signs of the kids’ 4-H goat trying to come inside. She liked her hooves and horns painted with nail polish.
I was raised in the country and when grown had a job that required home visits in rural areas. Every creature on earth (ok, maybe not elephants and monkeys) would meet me at the car. You wouldn’t believe the number of nice shoes and suits that didn’t survive long.
You can make these really cheaply with canned salmon or tuna, flour, egg, garlic powder, pinch of salt.
Spread it out on a cookie sheet, score it and bake it
We lived in the country. My dad had bought a baby goat for almost nothing at an auction because it was supposed to die. Bottle fed it on our screened in porch until it got big enough to wander. It bonded with our dogs....thought he was a dog. We were surrounded by alfalfa fields and they all used to roam in them. You could stand on the back porch and holler for the dogs and the goat and theyd come running. You couldnt see the dogs but could see they were coming because of Billy jumping above the alfalfa running behind them. When the dogs ran into the house Billy would be right behind them. He was quite a character.
Pookie loved yummy chummies so much he would say his prayers.
I would say “say your prayers” He’d throw his paws across my lap and bury his head between my thighs.
I’d say “Amen” and he would sit up for a treat
That just made me smile!
"Uh, we were expecting a salt lick from Bass Pro Shops."
