Dialing paws


Bisquick begrudgingly alerted me to this story earlier today.
Begrudgingly, I say, because it involves a canine, not a feline.
His raging jealousy may even have gotten the best of him; even after getting a morsel of grilled chicken from our dinner table, Bisquick whined incessantly then bit Mr. Owen on the leg as he was walking down the hall.
Don't bite the leg that feeds you, I say.

P.S. This story also further illustrates my husband's insistence that the German Shepherd is the best "brand" of dog. I say golden retrievers and/or labs. Truth be told, if this had happened to someone who owned a lab, the person would have died while the dog licked him and wagged his tail. Want the job done? Call the Shepherds.

The Shepherds? Labs? please.

OK, this was extraordinary and good behavior, but stereotyping an entire "brand" of dog with goodness over this is going too far.

Just like humans, we all have goodness and badness inside us.
Sometimes some of us overcompensate with one or the other, but that's kinda human,too.

Mr. Owen thought shepherds were superior before this article. YET. It validated his point. :) Also, rest assured you are his fave dogs who blog.

I love dogs, but don't tell the Scruffster. I also love The Dog Whisperer. Last week he featured a service dog who could do things like open doors and turn light switches on and off. But the poor thing was afraid of the bus his owner has to use to get around. No worry. Cesar Milan got him straight.
