OCD dogs...LOL!!

Ike was an awesome dog - aside from digging up a clematis vine in his childhood - he never did ANYTHING wrong. (Well, there was the time when he pulled a single paper plate out of the trash can, licked it clean, then FRAMED JACK by putting Jack's food dish next to the scene of the crime) but I digress....LOL! Ike was Jimmy's mentor in so many ways.....

I don't generally teach my dogs "tricks' - it's far more important to ME than they can communicate clearly and be "helpful".

So Jimmy came to me a few minutes ago and softly said "growr" which means "I want something". I looked at him and asked "Are you going to show me what you want?" and he gave me his happy face and trotted towards the door, looking back to make sure I was following...... he took me to a trash basket....ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!! Only my OCD dog (who was trained by Ike who was the King of OCD dogs) would ask *permission* to get into the trash!!!

    Hilarious!

    Reminds me of the story about the guy whose dog liked to sleep in his "master's" chair- every time he got up, the dog jumped up and took his place. One night the dog starts growling and looking at the door as if there was something outside, so naturally our hero got out of his chair to go look....and when he came back, the dog was blissfully asleep in "their" chair!

    Gotta hand it to the little buggers...:B

    That's too funny, Deb.
    You know, with having multiples, I find that the ones who pass live on in the ones who are here.

    Moments like this when you know they learned what they are doing from another who isn't here any more, always warm my heart.

    Always makes me smile, too.
