Do Dogs Know When You Are Making Fun Of Them?

[xrmusn]

I know a guy who drove his dog crazy.

Named him “Stay”....

HERE! STAY
HERE! STAY
HERE! STAY

etc...

Reminds me of one of those Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy:

"The crows seem to be calling my name," thought Caw.

Michigans upper pen. has those nasty deer flys and one year while camping in the Upper, I asked a person in town how they stand living with the deer fly...He said they use vicks vapor rub on their foreheads and the back of their necks...tried it, it works....those nasty buggers want your blood real bad and their bite hurts...

Sweet dogs, my daughter has a black standard named Blue and a blonde that is called stupie, short for stupid...her real name is Maisy. The black one has the sweetest personality and the other one is a blonde, what more can I say...(running from blondes right now)

They know.

And soon will you when they bite your hand.

Dunno about dogs but (some) cats do...if I ask my tabby boy if he wants me to give him a kiss or play with his jelly roll he gives me the most offended look and flounces off. Course, this is the same cat who flops over and LETS me rub his big ol tummy when he wants it, so...

Thanks. Lots of folks make fun of poodles. We just love them. The standards have the greatest personalities and I can’t imagine life without them. No blonds here - go granny!

Great tip. Deer flies are right after black flies on my list of bugs to hate. I like the smell of Vicks and will use this idea first time we go mushroom picking in the woods. Thanks.

I also had a big dead doe at the far end of my property. 80degrees out and you would throw up if you got within 20 feet of it while cutting grass...I went up to the elevator and bought 2 50 pounds bags of sweet lime...The guy at the elevator told me I could get close enought to the deer to spread the lime. I just had to put Vicks under my nose...Worked great on neutralizing the smell of decomposing flesh. Couldn't smell it at all and was able to shovel the 50 pound bag onto the carcass.

The quick lime kills the bacteria that cause the stink. It just kind of dries out the deer but it takes all summer...No smells tho....

My JRT knows and also shows signs of more intelligence then the AKOTUS!

Thanks for the tip on the Vicks Vapor Rub, I’ll give it a try. I use the strips but it grosses a lot of people out to see me walking around with a bunch of dead bugs stuck to the back of my head.

Thank you for the great laugh...it hit out of the blue.:O)>P?

I have a beautiful picture of you in my mind with bugs stuck to the back of your head. Don’t worry, I made you handsome
