Where I go she goes.
Princess Jade of FartsLikeATruckerville.
The Queen of clearing a room.
Her absolute favorite thing is going in the truck with me. I take her everywhere that I can. I'm trying desperately to teach her to fart on command.

Molly every time she comes into the garage…..
I honestly swerved and tried to miss the opossum while driving home. I did feel a little "thump thump". I checked underneath, no visible sign of it, or pieces of it
Sorry, it was too tempting...

I try to do this too when the with is cool so they can stay in the truck safely if I have to go inside someplace where dogs aren't welcome. I leave water on the floor and all four window down enough to get a breeze but they're never left more than 15 minutes or so.

6am wakeup call. Probably take a while for her to adjust.
Clocks in the UK changed last night.

We have mastered her drinking from my hand. I typically have water with me so she's always set. The hot car danger is definitely a concern and her breed (Old English bulldog) doesn't have the best history of dealing with heat. So if it's not ideal for her I'll let her chill at home if I can't change my plans.
Dogs truly are the best thing ever.
And I thought dst was a silly thing Americans did.
I brought the pooch downstairs to the shop for a bit. He booked it when I got the Dremel out for his nails....

You could try this one. Almost no noise, and very smooth. Neither of the boys mind it much more than grabbing their feet.
It's not the noise, it's the grabbing his feet he hates. Ongoing battle.

A short story but long?
Encountered a guy training his giant German Shepherd in Glendora's "Village" area the other day. He was teaching the dog to back up while sitting - dog was doing it too.
Long conversation he referred me to a local place called, "Sit Means Sit" dog training. Raved about them. Told him about my smaller dog being reactive to some dogs & people. He's very inconsistent though. Sometimes male or female, large or small dogs. Doesn't always matter if he's met them before. Mostly he just sniffs but I can never tell when he's going to nip, does not truly bite. His specialty is shoes or pant legs, never anyone's hand.
Set up a consultation with the place for tomorrow and hoping for the best. This man's Shepherd was only 19 months old and probably would dance salsa if asked him to! Lol. He's incredibly well trained already.

The idea of actually communicating with dogs versus commanding them has always been my way. Your little pup will do well I'm sure, especially if you get into it at his wavelength.
Good luck to him, and you too.

Thanks!
Yes, I am absolutely certain that IF a dog understands what you want he/she will gladly do it and especially if you reinforce it with a treat sometimes. They are pack animals and WANT the approval of the pack leader - you/me. It's just I don't know how to communicate reliably. But that'll soon change. The trainer will teach me to speak canine!

All kidding aside, you may want her to have an allergy test. Our dog was no slouch on methane production until we found out that he was allergic to chicken. Once we stopped giving him chicken based food, no more farts.

We went down that path already and she is mildly allergic to chicken too..
The vet said his best guess is her extended lower jaw (I call her chin-tastic!!) requires her to work harder to eat than other dogs and she ingests a lot of air.
She was born with a cleft lip and had to be spoon fed.

Sounds like she went to a great home.

Nope, the UK and some of Europe are just as daft. When its pitch black before 5pm it isn't fun for taking the dogs out in.

My brother's dog and considered part of our family too. Garage and trail dog, extraordinaire! She's been trail running occasionally on rides with my brother and yours truly. Cocoa was a rescue from a fly-in reserve up north, flown out by the "Paws for Love" group. She is 100lbs of exceptional (in every way) canine love

Just had Lucy to the vets this afternoon for a weigh in and to get her flea and worming tablets. She's now a smidgen under 45lbs. She'll be 7 months old tomorrow.
They reckon she's possibly at half (or slightly less) than her full grown weight.

T-Rex will come to the nursing home for therapy on Friday as usual but I won't dress him because he doesn't like it!Jasmine liked to dress up for Halloween when visiting the nursing home for therapy work.

Jassie was such a people person. She certainly liked the reactions she got from her patients when she was dressed up.
Therapy work is tough emotionally and she'd come home worn out.
It was especially hard when she would scurry to a room of one of her friends to find them gone (forever).
She also worked the hospice at the hospital and touched families who's elders were there for the end. That ended up with a newspaper article about her both a news article and the funny papers.

Our dogs weren't thrilled with their costumes. Willow is saying "take this off me and throw the damn ball".
We only had the costumes on them long enough to get a couple of photos.

Absolutely. Over 30 years of showing our girls to adventures in the mountains. This is Chilli and Jassie. They had full lives.

Very nice loyal buddies you have.Absolutely. Over 30 years of showing our girls to adventures in the mountains. This is Chilli and Jassie. They had full lives.
Not to dampen any spirits or anything but we lost a golden to parvo before it had its second round of shots so he was still quite young at the time. Since then we've had many happy loyal dogs over the past 12 years.

I had posted a few back about Cocoa. Apparently she is a cinematographer as well. This 2 minute video is shot and directed entirely by the world's finest trail pooch. In true Cocoa style, she took very little notice of the camera and harness!

you guys asked. Finally got the two sisters to sit still in a picture. Nola, the semi paralyzed but RIPPED Frenchie, still faster on two legs as she was on 4. Then the ever beefy Molly, the English bulldog.

What does he do when a dog goes by the house and he’s outside? My last cat that identified as a dog would go up to the fence to meet. The. She would run under the gate and sneak up behind the visiting dog.

I'm sure he can be fierce as hell if he wants but in this pic he looks like a giant baby goof ball.

Thanks Dan In Pasadena. That is a fine looking lab in your avatar. lol, he is a big baby goof ball. His bark is ferocious, and he hears EVERYTHING. But he loves people....especially little kids. I often wonder how he would respond to an actual intruder/threat.
