DOGS

[33 IMP]

While I have NEVER hit Mopar (my girl), as Sam said, she might have been poked in the eye, by someone, certainly possibly me. I don't remember, but it's certainly possible she does.
Lots of dog behaviors are learned, then seem to be instinctual.

Dutch is starting to fit in, been a struggle but she's coming around, anxiety is getting better. It's gonna be a long road. This week we'll start ecollar. She knows everything but just doesn't want to listen. With positive reinforcement and drills in the yard that'll make me look crazy, we'll get there. Already started bumper and cap gun, holding is difficult, but again long road with a dog nobody wanted and threw in a shelter.View attachment 1506965View attachment 1506966View attachment 1506967View attachment 1506968

One of my new dogs was difficult for a few months, but I put a little extra effort into him and he decided he was going to be #1 best buddy after all. The clever boy **** tested me with big piles of **** for a good long while though before he changed his mind. He had a plan. Whenever I was asleep or distracted he'd come put a big pile as close as he could. At first I grabbed him, held his nose over the poop, whacked his butt and told him he was bad. That only got me more poop. Then one day I looked at him while I was cleaning a pile and said "If this is what ti takes to have you than I guess you're worth it." After that I got cuddles instead of poops. Except for a while when I tried shutting him out of the bedroom. The poops came back until I figured out that wasn't going to fly.

I looked down and saw the 160 lb Newfoundland Diesel carrying a 10" carving knife in his mouth last night. I had used it on some cheese earlier and I'm sure he smelled it. A 10" blade in his mouth sharp side out. Nothing on a kitchen counter is safe. They can get at anything.

Bones, RIP, once decided he wanted to play with Musky bucktails... Luckily no barbs stuck in, that was scary, I'll never forget the sound and panic on his face while running around trying to drop them.

My girl thinks that we’re in her bed. Damn Bella, at least lay the other way. Lol

Our dogs do the same thing, even the pooches from before. Lay so the gas chamber is facing you.

Wife sent me this.

One of my shepherds does the same. If he thinks I'm headed for the bedroom, especially if I have some food, he'll race ahead of me, jump on the bed, and lay across it, in the middle so there's no room for my girlfriend or me.

At least the cat camps out in the far corner.

I'm a few days late, for national spoil your dog day..... but I did get three more squeaker balls for my kids, all that they had in Walmart.

Problem is.... I have four shepherds.
