My dogs have found some way to nap facing in the exact same direction. This is not the first time either.

Here's one for the books.

We have a large property, so the three dogs run around on their own outside in the yard (a compound with solid wall all the way around). However, a couple of weeks ago I began taking our 3 year-old female Doberman on walks down the street and back (about seven blocks) twice a day for training purposes.

Almost all the neighbors have one or more dogs, some run loose in the street, and others are fenced in. We probably pass 25 or more dogs on the way up and back. Of course, most bark up a storm as we walk by. There are also dog droppings all over the neighborhood that no one picks up.

The "funny" behavior with respect to our lovable Doberman is this:
1) she has never barked during the walks, no matter how much the other dogs bark;
2) she has never urinated/defecated during our walks, no matter how much smelling around she does around what liquids/solids the neighborhood dogs have left in our path;
3) I keep the leash very short, and about half the time she is pulling it taught, but no matter if there is slack in the leash or if it is pulled taught, as soon as I stop walking, she also stops dead in her tracks.

This is Sebastian, my daughters rescue from her work, unfortunately....we live in an apartment with a no pet rule, so he stays at the shelter. My kid is able to see him everday and I try and take him out for a walk on the weekends, nothing like him up on the console of the truck, an inch from my face giving me kisses as I drive because he is super excited to go for a walk!

Sometimes after a long day of chasing rabbits, squirrels and birds in the yard, you need a power nap on the couch.

A local TV station started running re-runs of a British show this week called "Release the Hounds." Contestants are given several tasks to perform and when completed they fill their backpack with cash. The faster they complete the tasks, the more of a head start they are given when the dogs are released. With the backpack strapped on, the contestants run towards a wall where there is a ladder waiting. If they climb the ladder before the dogs catch up to them, they win the money. If not, the dogs are trained to "retrieve" the backpacks.

Watching an interesting NCIS segment this afternoon. A German Shepherd is found inside a home with a dead body that has animal bite marks and is believed to have killed the victim. The lab girl, Abby, takes the dog under her wing (names him "Jethro") and spends the rest of the episode trying to prove the dog is innocent.

Abby drives "Jethro" around in her red 1931 Ford Coupe Hot Rod. The season 5 episode is called "Dog Tags":

If your dogs barking at the back door to get in the house, and your wife is at the front door yelling to get in the house... Which one do you let in first? Simple the dog it will shut up once you let it in. Lol

Wife read today about a guy heard scratching at the door an thought his dog wanted to come in. So he opens the door and a 300 lb bear is there. He got the door shut in time, dog was in the house.
