dog appreciation thread

I really love dogs. For some reason when I was little and got bit by a gopher I became scarred of dogs, except for the ones I knew well. But I eventually got over that around middle school after being around a rottweiler that was so sweet.

I'm sure I'll get one of my own someday, but I'll just enjoy my friends dogs for now.

Here is my 14 month old Golden, Kate.




She still as at the age where she must test the texture of all things in the house, with her mouth.

I have a seven year old cat as well. They are buds.

my dog is both too smart and too stupid. she can get by nearly any barrier we put in front of her, mostly because my parents underestimate her determination. today i go outside to my car, and i see my dog shewing on a t-bone from some neighbors garbage, she's a little scavenger, well i see that the wrought iron fence isn't closed. in the winter our fence shifts so that the latch doesn't fit into the lock so we usually put some bungee cord on to keep it shut. so anyways, the bungee cords weren't on so obviously my dog would get through. so i put some bungee cords on and stuck her in the backyard. i get back 15 minutes later and she's out front again, so i guess the bungee cord wasn't strong enough to keep her back there, so i get a longer one and wrap it around a few times so that it's hard for me to push it open enough for her to get out. as far as i know she hasn't gotten through this one yet.

this same dog figured out how to open her cage when she was only a few months old, found out how to open doors with a door handle installed, then we replaced a bunch of door handles with round door knobs, and SHE FIGURED THOSE OUT, WTF. she's also been able to open screen doors, get ontop of stools to open door knobs, she's too smart.

but at the same time she's too stupid to understand why she's being punished if we catch her later on. when i cought her outside she had already been out there for about 30 minutes, if i punished her she wouldn't understand why. so the problem is that she's really good at doing things she isn't supposed to do but she's too stupid to understand the punishment.
