four dogs on a country walk off leash this a.m -
Ancient big dog stops to wee against a fence
<orderly queue forms>
ancient small dog lines up to wee same place next
young small dog lines up to wee same place next
visitor big dog lines up to wee same place
who says dogs dont have a pecking order
dogs pee over each others pee so their pee is on top. The pee on top is the owner of that territory
The visitor dog is robing the fence. You should get it back by peeing after him.0 -

lol, mine often does that with other dogs. I call it a wee-off
She will wee, then the other dog in the same spot, then her in the same spot again... hilarious. 0 -

Yes, the LAST wee wins - but the ancient old dog who wee'd first had already moved off, as had the other 3, so they didnt know/care that their wee was covered - they each had 2000+ wee's to make on top of the other dogs wee before they got home, afterall!
When they poo, they do this scratching thing to cover the poo with grass/dirt - stuff flies!! - this is to hide their scent/poo from the predators/dinosaurs
When they get up on the sofa at night, they walk in circles and scratch the covers to flatten the tall grass that grew everywhere in their ancestors day
Instinct!!
(dont get me started on the instinct to hide their bones under sofas/behind doors/under rugs etc - Poo!) 0 -

This is how hurling goes with my greyhound, Josie: Puck the tennis ball across the grass, Josie tears after it, passing it out where it lands. She does a flying u-turn, grabs the ball, dashes back across the green to bring it into the house for a chew in private. Get her excited again by showing her another tennis ball, and puck it. Josie tears out the door after it, passes it out and leaves it behind her to do two circuits of the acre at full gallop. Disappears behind the house in the process. She then veers into the house at full speed and retires to her bed, panting.
Show over for another day. 0 -

thinking about alternatives.
He's a persistent bugger, so he wont stop scratching until the window opens. he'll miaow and scratch for hours if you ignore him.
Does your window open out?

yes, but have to close it after him or the chill in the room give me a sore neck.
We have a vertical window we prop open during the day for him, but dont want to leave it open at night.0 -

I walked out of the bathroom to this :rolleyes:
Snap! Minus the cat and just change the colour of the setters!
Trying to change the bedsheets last Saturday night and I was watching a programme on TV so kept running in during ad breaks. Got it stripped and had the new linens ready...Coco decided that the duvet was perfect without covers...
Exasperated I ran in to watch TV for another ten minutes, so she made sure Benson came in to make the job doubly difficult. :rolleyes:
picture quality not great, I was in a hurry to get back to the TV!0 -

Clean sheets = dog magnet?!?!?!?
I came home from being out shopping today, to find my beautifully made bed in similar state, including the young dogs stinky teddy-rag - left the door to the bedroom end of house open - doggy heaven
I always think they love the bed because even if you put clean bedclothes on, it still smells of their owner - unless you've washed the duvet and got a new mattress!
I would imagine as well that they recognise the signs. I never change the bedclothes in the morning, I always do it in the evening, maybe an hour or half an hour before we go to bed, they probably know my routine at this stage and think, "great stuff, they'll be in to bed soon":)0 -

I don't know about 'smile' but we've moved Isabella's (syrian hamster) cage out into our hallway to see if the quieter atmosphere helps with her behaviour (she's anxious about something according to the vet, which is why she's going bald on her arse, apparently...) and when I went to bed last night all i could hear through the door was her nomming away on her wooden ball chew thing for like, 45 minutes! It rolls away from her, so she has to chase it down again and again. She seems to have fun with it though, that's the main thing!! Here's pics from a while ago with one... It's so cute when she finally gets it in her mouth, she's all delighted with herself and carries it around like a dog!
I actually have a really funny video of her with it... Must dig it out and stick it up.0 -

Bruno the egg hunter.
Bruno our 8 month old Newfoundland Collie cross found and egg in his dog kennel and didn't know what to do with it. He knew it was something good but wasn't sure if he could eat it? Our hens are partly free range and one has taken to laying in his kennel. I didn't like to take it from him and not give him a reward so I left it with him and got a hot dog sausage from indoors and made a big fuss about swapping the egg for a treat. This has happened a couple of time this week and now Bruno actively searches his kennel (its full of old blankets) for eggs. Hopefully he'll be bringing me the next one when he finds it 0 -
I was taking a nap after my night shift this morning when I was woken by my 8 month old Samoyed pawing at my toes at the end of the bed, I sat up and when she noticed me she hid her head under the end of blanket for a second and then proceeded to sneak up the bed until she popped out from under the top of blanket and kiss attacked me. Made my morning 0

And it worked:D:D, Bruno just went out to his kennel rooted around a bit and came straight in with an egg which he happily gave up. Not a bad training result for the cost of 4 manky tinned Lild hot dog sausages. If only it was so easy to train him to get in the car and to go to the vets, so far a hot dog sasuage will get him to put his paws in the car on the seat but thats better than a week ago when he ran away when I opened the car door 0 -

That's so cute and so gentle with his mouth too
Cooper's a bit the same with the car. What I normally do is throw the treat far enough into the car that he has to get all the way in to get it. He can jump up onto the couch if he wants to so is well capable of getting into the car...it all comes down to motivation with him :pac:0
