If my kids loved me 1/3 of what my dog does...
I had a beagle puppy that was smarter than hell, but he was devious A-hole if he didn’t get what he wanted.
He was throwing fits because he wanted my ex’s lunch. My ex took her tennis shoe and spanked his ass.
Boy, did he get pissed off! He knew he had an old tennis shoe that the ex gave him to play with.
He ran and got the shoe out in the back room, grabbed it by the laces and flogged the piss out of her leg with it and he wouldn’t stop.
I was cracking up. It was like he was saying...”I’ll teach you to never smack my ass with a shoe again!”
Pretty damn smart for a 5 month old puppy.
All my dogs are obviously Conservatives, they all hunt, they all guard the farm, they all love a steak, they all voted for TRUMP (twice), good thing voter ID is not required.
You are so correct, they do steal your heart. She had me trained, at 8:45 each night, she would come into my office and growl. She wanted me to go to bed. I would tell her, okay. But, let’s go potty first. She would run to the laundry room door and wait for me to take her out. Coming back in, she would race me to the bedroom and get in my spot. How I miss her!
Sad. You have my heartfelt condolences, shotgun.
I know such a loss all too well.
They’re like Sherlock Holmes when he deduces a lot about a person just by observing him or her. Dogs, like Holmes notice all of our “tells” and know what we are going to do before it is even a conscious thought in our minds.
Three weeks, today, our Yorkie Bella, had an operation for a liver shunt. She didnt make it. The sad part, it was her 2nd Birthday.
Yea, I know how you feel. We brought home a new Miniature Schnauzer over 11 years ago. After a few weeks he was going into closets and acting strange. The vet said he had liver shunts, and referred us to another vet who specialized in this type of disease. She tried to convince me not to go through the operation because 50% of the dogs die. And if it survives within another 48 hours another 25% die. We went through the operation and the little puppy survived. He is over 11 years old now. He has a leaky valve and has thyroid problems, but he is still hanging in there.
Awwww!!
We were told the same info, prior to the operation. But, we had our fingers crossed and prayed. seeing her boxed into a corner and not knowing how to get out, made us take the chance.
Glad that your little one, survived.
Funny, no dog I ever owned ever caught on to my reaction to them dumping or peeing in the middle of my floor.
Perhaps they never noticed I didn’t go into the doghouse and poop or pee in there.
The writer can get back to me when they answer this one.
Nice doggie. Have you taken time to apply to be a White House intern yet?
That was neat. Thanks.
My chocolate lab knows every house where she has gotten a treat. She will eyeball each one as we pass it.
Hard to believe but the Golden Retriever is the alpha male of that group.
I tell my friends that the biggest difference between my dogs and my (EX) wives is that the later I get home at night, the happier my dogs are to see me.
LOL!!
[[This time she walked right over to the canoe and eagerly waited for me to lift her in and she didnt even try to jump out this time.]]
Either that or another dog peed in the canoe and she was waiting for you to lift her in to check it out-
In one episode, they rescued a pit bull wandering the streets. That particular show was watched by a family in Mississippi, who had lost their dog (someone had broken into their home and stolen her). They recognized their pit bull. They contacted the Villalobos Rescue Center, and even though the dog had been separated from them for almost a year, the second she saw her family, the tail started wagging! Tear jerker of an episode.
Did you ever doubt this?
I watched Animal Cops for a while some years back and had to quit. I couldn't stand seeing the condition they found some of the dogs.
