lol..this caught my eye because I am a DVM..I'm sorry..but..dogs are not that deep..all they require is to love and be loved in return. Cool concept huh?

ReplyDelete1. Fear of Thunder ( Loud Noise and rain )
2. Fear of Fireworks ( Loud Bangs )
4. Fear of the Veterinarian ( She cut off both his little boy parts )
5. Fear of Riding in the Car ( Who can blame him even I'm afraid of driving in the car when Julie is driving )
6. Fear of Going Up and Down Stairs. Nope
7. Fear of Men. Nope for some reason all animals seems to love me and only me Gunny follows me every where we even go for a morning walk together every day
8. Fear of Strangers. He is cautious of people
9. Fear of Children. Will attack if provoked
10. Fear of Objects. Yes, the vacuum cleaner, WOW just like me :-)
11. Fear of not getting fed. Yes, yes, yes guts that he is
12. Dogs. Nope he will attack them if need be
Hello Punk
If we were to have a dog Anna it would be a Boxer.
ReplyDeleteTail docking of any breed of dog or cat is not allowed in Australia nor is the declawing of cats
My daughters black lab makes about 3 dozen trips a day up and down these stairs. You would think he would be a whole lot thinner too! But, like me, it just wears him out. Old age is getting to both me AND the dog.
ReplyDeleteAnd....Biscuit does seem to be a bit racist. He really doesn't like Asian people. And he himself....CAME from Japan! Go figure. Apparently, the previous owners were a bit mean to him and he remembers that.
He barks at EVERYBODY that comes to the door. He sounds like he wants to attack people with his ferociousness. But heck....all he really wants to do is lick you and beat you to death with his wagging tail. He's a big push over for affection.
I've learned alot about dogs lately...kind of have to with 3 of them . But anyway I learned there is a product out there called a Thundershirt. You wrap it on the dog & it calms him during storms or fireworks. Even helps with strangers and car rides. I also learned that if you dont have one & need to calm them down find a tight fitting T shirt or other snug garment and put it on him. Seems to work .

ReplyDeleteDr. Misty!
Firstly, to thank you for stopping by, and for commenting too!
You are so right- Love is always the one thing that poorly raised dogs are missing.
Your comment reminds me that dogs and children are so much alike.
No wonder each are drawn to the other so often.
XOXO

Mr Lester;
