im confused, are dogs not able to lick their paws there?

these pics dont make any sense to me yet they’re up like every other day.

Des – I heart Chewie! What a little fluffball!

Crystal – that close-up of Madison is beautiful! And the video of Reagan was cute too. Lol @ Theo with his ’80s humour. I was in high school then myself…

The eyes on dog-on-left are just beautiful… very patient little (ok,ok, medium sized) fluffballs, aren’t they? I wanna bluey dog…

Dear Will B and anyone else who’s nuffing on this:

I once had a beautiful German Shepherd named Chem. Someone threw a poisoned bone over the fence and he ate it and died. (It was a thief wanting to break in to the house)

I now teach all my dogs not to eat anything from anyone but me and the dogsitter. Teaching them to be patient for treats is the beginning stage of this training.

I am saving my dogs’ lives by teaching them these things, so please… get. a. freaking. life.

If you’ve never had to see the lifeless body of your companion and friend, you can’t talk.

There was a dog who belonged to a retired Drill Sargeant. He was very, very well-trained (the dog). Too well.

There was a vacation; there was a mix-up. There was a dog accidentally left behind when the RV pulled away.

There was a Good Samaritan who found the wandering dog, took it home, offered it something to eat. And the dog just sat and looked at the bowl.

He refused to eat for several days. No amount of coaxing or alternative tempting food could convince him.

Eventually, the dog was reunited with his drill sargeant person. When told of the dog’s food refusals, the man laughed and said “Yes, he’s one great dog! OK, boy, hit the chow line!”

And the dog fell on the food bowl like the nearly-starved animal he was.

What well behaved fur-babies! Good doggies!!!

bookmonstercats—let me know if you have any luck with the cat.

We used to do this with our dog when we were children. We never kept him waiting long and gave him lots of praise. One day, though, my younger bro’ put something down on his (the dog’s) paw, went to answer the door and forgot… We found the dog sitting in a pool of saliva an age later, with the biscuit still on his paw. Seriously, I don’t think it’s a bad thing, as long as not carried to extremes (deliberately anyway). Dogs don’t discriminate and need to know that an order not to eat something nasty is to be obeyed.

Now to start training the cat….

doggy on the right is thinking ‘i am SO gonna eat your shoes when you’re sleeping’ and i support that action fully!

Des – Chewy is DARLIN’! Kees heem for me!!!

And nice pics, Crystal. Thanks for sharing.
