For the dog lovers

My wife's Spanish Water dog doesn't only love heat, but she also hates water...

Hope you enjoy this short video.

A Water Dog that hates water!

I have a Labrador retriever who has never grasped the concept of retrieving. He gets very excited when I throw something, he bounces around and thinks I'm amazing. But what he wants is for ME to go retrieve the thing, and throw it again.

He's weird. I call him my Labradork.

I think you got a sleepyhead.

Btw sorry, I find cats funny.

My cat sometimes sleeps with all four stretched in four direction as flat as doormat.

If you whistle he appear out of nowhere, greet you by rubbing his entire length against you, it means it's chowtime.

If you jingle keys, it runs towards the gate.

Other times his curiosity can only move his butt.

Chica doesn't retreive anything either Beth. I think those who transported her to the Netherlands left her brain in Spain.

I think a little positive feedback will work wonder. Dogs are wise, need to convince that they will be rewarded for fetching. Sorry, I am not a dog person though.

She just doesn't understand and loses interest very quick. When in the park she does love to run after other dogs who do fetch sticks and balls and runs back with them, but she'll never bring back a stick or ball herself.

Yes indeed, there has to be interest and drive, and he just doesn't have it. My little dog loves frisbee, and the Mastiff will retrieve too although being huge, he likes logs and tree branches.

Behold the Labradork. Looking silly, and then uncharacteristically dignified.

His name is Deefer. (D fer dawg.) Failed foster, so he ended up keeping a silly name.

Awe, adorable! Deefer. Hehe
Here is my sweet Buster Brown. We call him Fathead.

I'm loving all these dog photos! Wish I had one

 

[Beth_B]

Fathead, lol. Sweet face! Bully breed of some type?

Becky you guys need a dog.

He's an American Staffordshire Terrier. A big sweety.

We had a Golden Retriever/St. Bernard mix for 10 years. He was a sweet, loving, and very protective dog. Shall we talk dog hair all over the place?
Then we got a St. Bernard/Collie mix. He expected us to take care of everything. Protection? I'll stand here behind you and watch. You don't really expect me to go outside in the rain to do my duty? I don't think I like this dog food that you just bought in a 20 lb. bag--let's try something else.
We loved both, and had 22 years of big, hairy dogs that thought they were lap dogs (and we agreed!).
There is nothing as sweet, loving, and entertaining as a good dog. I envy you all!
