This is a subheading in an article in my latest NZSPCA magazine about a Companion Animal Confrence and it got me thinking. My dog I have had for ten + years and he knows things like that he isn't allowed to bring bones inside to chew on; yet he tries his best to get them inside. It is so funny to see him come to the door on the porch and see the look I am given as he drops the bone so it is outside the house. Of course if I am not in the front room he takes that as clearance to bring the things inside until he is caught out.

How the devil are you? :-)))))


No they don't...imo that is......they have learned that they will be on the norty step if they annoy their master/mistress

for instance....chewing someones arm off is wrong....but not to a dog who has been trained to do it and get rewards for doing so.

Hey Susan with numbers, I'm okay to tired from work most days to spend anytime here.

Well my doggy is a good boy, she says with fingers crossed. In vet on Friday, annual check up that cost me over NZ$150 ..... old age catches up to as all. Vet man goes through the door and dog makes sure I see him standing next to me then I hear the Vet talking to a naughty puppy.
