The nice thing about having got our dogs so young is that they don’t seem to have been mistreated before we got them. Whoever dumped their litter at the shelter waited til they were weaned, they were healthy, and he took ‘em to the right spot. It would be a lot harder with a dog with a past like yours.
Or maybe he’s just stupid. Ours can be just stupid sometimes.
Sometimes?
Like:
Me: “See this garden? Bad dog. Don’t go there.”
Stupid Mutt #1: ‘Hmm if I go over there and cower in that nice dirt patch maybe he will stop yelling at me. Oops, now he is chasing me around the yard.’
