I tore up all of my obedience training lessons…

Obedience Tear-aining
Feelin’ Flossy
“I had string from a chew toy in teeth and used the carpet as floss”
Our new 6 moth old Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd puppy didn’t think the 100+ toys were acceptable and decided to sample the carpet while we were at work.
Is this what it means to have “the runs”?
His name is Blew.
“I pooped in dad’s sneaker!”
That’s Minimum Wage in Dog Dollars!
Clyde (1 year old chocolate Labrador) helped himself to $15 dollars this morning and remains remorseless.
Pawsive Resistance
Tucker is 9 months old and has developed the technique of playing dead whenever he doesn’t want to do something. Even though he is able to jump up into the low elevation of the Prius he refuses to do it voluntarily and prefers to place his front paws up and then have his rear paws lifted up. When I don’t cooperate he plays dead and poor poodle Scarlett has to impatiently wait while I try to move him from his passive protest position.
The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands
We received a phone call from a random neighbour telling us our dog was out. “No no,” we said, “it’s not possible, he was safe and snug in the fenced in yard when we left!” Sure enough, there he was when we returned, grinned at us from poolside. We called the neighbour back and confirmed that it could not possibly have been our dog.
He got our number from off of his tag.
It was not the first time someone had seen him. Or the 2nd. Or the 8th.
If we had a Porsche we would be so screwed.
Trout Fishing
I caught this fish so don’t ask me to throw it back.
BFFs
“My bro likes me too much sometimes.”
Titan is a Corgi/mini Aussie who shadows closely everyone he loves, attaching some part of his little body to his chosen ‘host’ body. Today it was Willie, his BFF and brother, who hosted the attachment in the car.
That is not what ‘Bird Dog’ Means
Boss let us know one morning…”I need more fiber.” Much to the chagrin of our backyard birds.
Chomp! There it is.
Lexi the Maltipoo gnawed through a plastic bag to enjoy the sweet sweet taste of forbidden (and potentially poisonous) Watermelon gum!
A quick stomach pump and afternoon stay at the vet later… She was home.
(She’s not sorry)
