quote:I'm sure people think I've gone nuts and actually want pee and poop as a gift!
Just wait till your dog thinks you want pee/poop as a gift! I was sleeping in one cold winter morning (way back in the days Mom would occasionally get up before me, and let the Boys out). My hand was outstretched and hanging over the side of the bed. My now dear-departed Boomer-Rang couldn't resist the temptation. I woke up to something very cold and odd-feeling being gently placed in my hand.....a carefully selected frozen dog turd! He was quite proud of himself. To this day I'm still not convinced it was a mistaken "gift." I think he knew exactly what he was doing, and decided to play a prank on Mommy.

LOL poor Who!! I think I remember Riley bringing SS a special "treat" not all that long ago!! Great photo of Riley & Tim... gee I ask and you deliver! LOL My DD has a Yorkie/Chihuahua mix (6mo) and he'll be good but it almost seems the longer he's w/them (a month), the naughtier he's getting! He doesn't potty in his crate anymore like he did in the beginning, but the little stinker is so low to the ground and he has the longer hair, you can't tell if he really peed or not. He often looks like he is and then he comes in and pees in the house. He did that to me after I had him outside at their house for at least 1/2 hr. He did the "naughty" on her leg last week so he's not for long until he gets snipped! ha ha My old dog is funny. She knows what I want her to doo (couldn't resist! LOL) She really doesn't like the wet grass so I stand on the deck, sometimes having to almost push her off but she knows what I mean when I say "potty" or "pee" or "poop." Good thing I don't care if my neighbors hear me saying.. GO POOP!! GO PEE!!! GOOD GIRL!!!!!! or POTTY!!!!!! GO POTTY!!! I often start out with the potty and then if she does one or the other.. I tell her to do the one she hasn't already done! LOL

sab, that does not sound cruel at all. she is a mommy's girl anyway so spending more time with me would not be that bad. i have never scolded her for her "mistakes" in the house but the very few times she has done well i have praised her & given her a treat (one of the doggie cookies i bake for her) she is doing a little better, still using the potty pads but managed to hit the one in the garage again. eventually she will get it or i will just have to tear up the carpet & put down tile in the guest room

LOL Pamp, that is EXACTLY why I don't have carpet in my livingroom, kitchen or hallway anymore. Between Eli's potty habits and his dirty little paws, it just wasn't worth it. Miss Jia is really picky about getting dirty. She just HATES it. My big ole Digger dog is too old to get out and dig and get dirty now....BUT my odie boy ALWAYS has dirty little nose and feet. OH I guess I should tell ya'll about Odie. About a month ago, I was looking on petfinder and found him in a high kill shelter. Unfortunately, I was recovering from pneumonia and he was a 16 hr round trip away. So, I contacted the Shiba rescue group here in TX and they had someone pick him up. He stayed with her a week and a half, and I went down to pick him up about three weeks ago. Let me tell ya. This boy LIVES to love. He is the sweetest dog I've ever seen. He's a shiba mix....and we have no clue what he's mixed with. He has big ears and always has a smile on his face. He sits in my hubby's chair with him to watch TV and has slept with us since the first night. He was truly worth the money, and time on the road to get. The shelter woman cried when she saw pics of him here. Nobody had shown any interest in him and his time was getting very short. He has a forever home now. Shhhhhhh don't tell him, but we got the best end of the deal.

Lol Watching bout the wet grass and pushing your doggie off the deck. Pedro hates rain and wet grass so sometimes I have to run out and down the sidewalk just to get him off the steps.

Yeah Mocha... you should have seen me the night when I was trying to push her off the step, one foot on the deck and other on the step and my foot slid on the wet step!!!! Boy did I go flying!!! I had a nasty bruise on my arm from grabbing the railing but at least I didn't end up flat on my back!!! LOL All I could think of was Kellie thinking... "See what you get for making me get out on this mush!!" LOL What we do for our dogs, huh Mocha!! I've pretended to be doing all kinds of things just to get my dog to do something! heh heh Great story Sab! So happy you were able to save Odie. I've only known one Shiba in my life and he was a cool dog!

I got this email today, and figured I'd share: quote:TO: GOD: FROM: THE DOG Dear God: Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another? Dear God: When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it still the same old story? Dear God: Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We do love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the "Chrysler Eagle" the " Chrysler Beagle"? Dear God: If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog? Dear God: We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand? Dear God: More meatballs, less spaghetti, please. Dear God: Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize? Dear God: Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good dog. 1 . I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up. 2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell. 3. The Litter Box is not a cookie jar. 4. The sofa is not a 'face towel'. 5. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff. 6. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet. 7. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying "hello". 8. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table. 9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house - not after. 10. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt. 11. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch. 12. The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing. P.S. Dear God: When I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?

We have snow today! The very first for Lucee & Charlie and they love it. This morning when they went out Lucee kept tasting it, Charlie would dash over to see what she found and then look puzzled at her eating this white stuff. Didn't smell good to him! Now they beg to go out and I told DH he should get a picture of them and he said they don't stand still...just do that happy pug chase round and round. Very entertaining.

Just want to keep our furbabies safe over the holidays. This is from my ASPCA Newsletter. Happy Holidays to all! ATTENTION, PET OWNERS! DECK THE HALLS—BUT DO IT SAFELY, PLEASE For many of us, 'tis the season to decorate our homes with live Christmas trees and holiday greenery. But did you know that some of these yuletide traditions can be hazardous to your pet’s health? * Lovely lilies are commonly used in holiday floral arrangements, but many varieties—including Tiger, Asian, Japanese Show, Stargazer and the Casa Blanca—can cause kidney failure in cats if ingested. * Bag the boughs of holly and live mistletoe. Sure, they add a nice touch to your holiday décor, but holly can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy if eaten by your pet. And should he sample mistletoe, he could suffer gastrointestinal upset and cardiovascular problems. Opt for just-as-jolly artificial plants made from silk or plastic. * Christmas tree water may contain fertilizers that can cause stomach upset. Stagnant tree water is a breeding ground for bacteria—and your pet could end up with nausea or diarrhea should he imbibe. * Although the potential toxicity of poinsettias is generally overstated, these showy holiday plants can irritate your pet’s mouth, and may cause nausea and/or mild vomiting. If you suspect that your animal companion has eaten a potentially toxic substance, call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center’s emergency hotline at (888) 426-4435 for round-the-clock telephone assistance. For more poison prevention tips, please visit ASPCA online.

OG, I remember that too! And we are VERY glad we took them both! In fact, just last night DH was saying something along the lines of "Remember when we weren't sure that taking two was a good idea?" LOL
