Thoughtful Thursday: Listen to Your Dog

Smudge was barking at the door, presumably to go out to play/bark at the neighbours. Now, everyone knows how hard-line I am -- no barking for attention, you can go out when I let you out, etc etc. But *I'd* called Smudge in, a little while ago (due to barking at other dogs -- too early! 🌤). She'd been out with her bone toy. Now she was shut in and bone was outside. I opened the door for her to go get it. After she'd brought it in, she settled down to chew it while I made breakfast. Sometimes, listening to your dog isn't that hard. #listentoyourdog #newyearsresolution #choices #dogtrainingthoughts #thinkythoughts

Born Oct 2016, Darcy is Ava's mischievous little brother: the Loki to Ava's Thor. He loves you and will give you kisses whether you want them or not.

Scruffy the boofheaded wire fox terrier always keeps me entertained when he comes to visit (often with his 'doodle brother Charlie).

My friend's cheeky labrador is the one who started it all when I walked and trained her back in 2013. She remains the youngest 'old dog' I've ever met.

This blog was born as 'Life as a Piggie' and documented the trials and tribulations of Cocoa the guinea pig, who lived 8 years without a bad hair day. His hooman Melon strives to live by what he taught and have many more animal adventures.
