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.

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.

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.
