It’s a dog’s life. ;-)

Starr is my wife’s dog and Lucky is mine and you won’t find a more gentle pair of pups in all the world. We spoil them rotten and they give us smiles and laughs, they are the best.

[Canedawg]

Did someone say dawg?

Woof!

[Mr. Jazzy]

Got some Milkbones for you right-seater?

[Petronski]

Cesar knows his stuff. One can easily lay on the doggie love pretty thick—with no problem—as long as first and foremost the dog knows he is a dog and you are the alpha.

Brother, can you spare a milkbone?

[Chickensoup]

It’s fashionable to humanize animals. It’s a leftist viewpoint that animals are really just as smart as people, and that people are really just as smart of animals.

It is terrible and demeaning both to dogs and humans. We all have our places in creation.

There is nothing more pathetic than the twenty and thirty year olds couples who baby a dog instead of some children of their own.

On second look you’re probably right. The hair just looked a bit curly around the muzzle. No Weimy in my pup.

Fred gets cheeseburgers.

Woof!

GOOD BOY! < rub's dawg head >

"I'll do anything if you just give me a treat."

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

if you let your dog sleep in your bed, you are telling them that they are your equal.

This works at our house. It's just the way it is.

>Cesar is THE MAN when it comes to understanding dogs.<

Cesar is a dog trainer who is famous because he trained Will Smith’s wife’s dogs, and other Hollywood liberals’ pets. Sorry, but there are other people you’ll never hear of who know just as much if not far more about what goes on inside the head of a dog.

Google “Captain Arthur Haggerty” for starters, then “Dr Ian Dunbar”.

she's speaking for the entire pug-owner world.

No she isn't. She's a whack job.

Now for something completely different:

Being a 'furry' brings out the beast in them

You have to see it to believe it.

Plus there's a story about them as well.

Lions and foxes and cat-dragons walk on two legs

[shibumi]

No problem at all, as long as you understand just *whose* porch this is.

True story- Yesterday, my husband and I were eating out for lunch and the couple behind us were talking very loudly. Turns out they were separated because the wife refused to train the dog. This couple was actually living apart because of their problems with the dog.
