My mail lady has mine trained, she brings them each a huuuggge “puppy cookie” everytime she comes, and one extra “just in case”, lol. They love her!
Mine are spoiled to the extent that they’re used to me (stay at home homemaker) being here all the time with them. All they want to do is hang with me. When my husband leaves on business, they take it in stride (except that his special “baby” sulks a bit then starts sucking up to me), but they have a fit when I have to run errands. My mother will be down this week to visit and she’s not a dog person at all, but she warms up to them after a day or so :) They’re all really just big babies except my one smaller one, a Jack Russell. I don’t know what his early life was like, but he’s one feisty little neurotic and possessive terror! He tries to keep my husband from coming near me, lol! I’ve had him for years and can’t change his behavior. Oh well, he’d be the first one to chew a leg off if someone tried to break into my home while my husband’s away. I worry more about them getting hurt, than protecting me, I have a trusty “equalizer” for that.
I apologise to all for all the off-topicness, ‘fraid I do that when it comes to my dogs!
I love Jack Russells. Hubby has forbidden them though LOL. Way too overactive for him.
Our doggie is part English Shepard, part German Shepard and we think part cur. She’s got spots in places. She’s 65-70lbs now. She’s got nice pointey German Shepard ears too. And she herds me to the food bowl.
