Cap gets so excited, paces like a caged animal, jumps up every time I think of moving and like Butch slimes my arm from time to time. This is when I start thinking of drugging my poor dog with chamomile or something. Here Cappy its just a ball of cheese I swear it, it's just cheese NOW EAT IT!<br /><br />yup, gotta love the Butch stories.<br />I know exactly what you mean when you said on my blog that dogs teach love and that we get more out of giving to them than getting love from them. I think that was God's plan in making them, the more we love them the more we understand ourselves and maybe we even get a better understanding of the world around us...maybe just a little better. <br /><br />smiles to you and yours,<br />AustinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-77608806040520626652006-12-15T09:07:00.000-06:002006-12-15T09:07:00.000-06:00I forgot to mention, Spot demands his treats, he d...I forgot to mention, Spot <i>demands</i> his treats, he doesn't ask for them. He'll thump his arm on the floor and keep doing it till I look at him, and if I look away again he'll keep it up. I ask him if he wants something, and he goes "Whuff". I say, "are you <i>demanding</i>?", he'll bark. Then I go get him a rawhide chew. He has me trained.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1165979717690228572006-12-12T21:15:00.000-06:002006-12-12T21:15:00.000-06:00Well, Sunflower, I, for one, can never get enough ...Well, Sunflower, I, for one, can never get enough dog stories.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1165957260127464652006-12-12T15:01:00.000-06:002006-12-12T15:01:00.000-06:00Yes, Velvet, I think my husband is girding himself...Yes, Velvet, I think my husband is girding himself for the inevitable, LOL.

I'm so relieved to hear that other dogs give their owners "that look." If Kadi could speak Human/English, I'm sure her response would have been, "Uh...Doh!

Neither dog will let me forget part of the routine, but this was completely off schedule.

Since he doesn't have another dog around to interpret for him he likely has trained me to pay attention to what time it is.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273873865160002759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1165718898533670882006-12-09T20:48:00.000-06:002006-12-09T20:48:00.000-06:00When Mabel does that, she wants to lay on the sofa...When Mabel does that, she wants to lay on the sofa with me.
