Recently I had a post come across my Facebook feed about things humans do that dogs hate. My first thought was, who did this interview? And more importantly, how? I’ve talked to every dog I’ve ever had and none have said, “Hey. You know that head pat thing you do? Yea, I don’t like that.”…
Sounds
Sounds. I think in every stage of life there are sounds that we associate with certain things and we just know what they are. This might be determined by who is speaking and or making the sound, the age of the person, or maybe the type of relationship you have with that person. When you’re…
Our dogs as movie characters
Marc and I are movie junkies. To say we have no life is an understatement, just ask our kids. We watch all kinds of movies. Everything from sappy romances to Sci-Fi but no horror. Marc loves that scary stuff but not me, I can’t even be in the same room while a horror movie is…
Meeting of the K-9s?
Our dogs (including grand-dogs) range in age from 11 months to 9 years. After all this time, I’ve finally come to realize something: They like making me crazier than I was the day before. How do they do this? They have a meeting; I know it. I think it must be similar to some businesses…
If they were human they’d get arrested
I’m with our dogs every day. I’m at home pretty much all the time. Ok, ok, I get it, I don’t have a life. Moving on, being with them so much gives me a whole lot of time to observe them and their behaviors. I get to see how they play together, alone, and interact…
I’m an expert?
I read an article that said if you’re writing a blog you should be able to identify yourself as an expert in some area. So I decided to write about the process of getting your dog into movies, the training they need, and how easy it is to do it. I’m totally kidding. I don’t…
Farts; not so plain and simple
Farts. A word that often causes laughter for no apparent reason. The idea of air coming out of a person’s rear is mostly laughable because we’ve all been in the position to have a fart make some pretty crazy noises upon exit. Sometimes you can do things just right, so they’re stealth and quietly slide…
Some “benefits” of owning our dogs
I can’t count how many times I’ve heard that owning a dog is good for your health. I’ve always assumed that was because of the unconditional love they give. They’re always there for you. They’re loyal and loving beyond words. They make you laugh. They’re part of the family, and all that other unicorns and…
No dogs on the furniture?
Someone recently told me they don’t let their dogs on the furniture! I know! Our dogs not only get on the furniture, they pretty much make the rules of the house! Marc and I each had a dog from the start and we shared the belief that dogs are family. I’m so thankful we agreed…
Random
There are some things that our dogs do that make me laugh. Other things that drive me crazy. No matter what though, I love them with all my heart. With that said, I was trying to decide what to write about and thought that I would just keep it simple. So I decided to do…
