Screw it, I just give up with this thread for tonight. I have not even eaten yet and it is after 9. I am going to catch up on my other threads and then I am out of here until tomorrow.

This is Mattie. She's an Olde English Bulldogge. This is a rare picture - her eyes are open.

What kind of pup do you have?

She sounds like a smart one. I'd wait for the frisbee to land too...lol.

I had a husky...he would 'toss' the ball up the driveway and wait for it to come back down...

I had to keep the driveway swept...if the ball got stuck he would bark til someone came and got it...

My husky, Shadow, used to like to stand on the double yellow lines and watch the traffic go by...he was a little slow one time and got hit, my parents had to put him down...

Sorry to hear about your dog Mark.

Yep. She's real good at not listening. She's an odd dog, I've never seen an animal so set on routine. I have her trained pretty well,(well, actually , SHE has herself trained pretty well). I never have to get pushy with her unless its something out of the ordinary...hence the refusal to listen.

I never really have to do anything for her, except feed and water her, she pretty much does the rest on her own. We get up in the morning, she sits by the back door to go outside, and when its time for me to go to work she crates herself. I get home, we go play outside for a while, she eats dinner, and then sleeps in front of the TV... and she knows that when I turn the TV off at night its time for bed and she takes herself to bed. When we go for rides in the truck, she stands with her side up against my leg to make it easy for me to pick her up and put her in the truck.

She really is into a routine. Mine are similar, but not quite as trained as that. They do know when I leave in the morning that it's time to go in their crates, but when it's time for bed, it's like pulling teeth to get them up from the living room floor and into the bedroom.
