We've always talked to our girl, Sassy Marie, just like she is a person, so she has a big "vocabulary". When we first moved home, my brothers thought we were nuts because of how we interacted with her. Then they realized that she knows exactly what we are saying to her. It's not just "sit, stay, or come". It's more like... "If you want me to play with you, go get your toy and bring it to me." And she does. She's even got "the dragon" right in her paws... snuggles up at his feet... and now he's even bringing her frisbees to play with. Remember that Peanuts/Charlie Brown book..."Happiness Is A Warm Puppy"?
Philip: she looks like she is saying. Don't you touch my kitty. She's mine, all mine. Those are some great photo's.
Hi Cheryl, i think the longer you are with a dog the more we should do as you,..because they do understand!,..and not just give one word instructions,..but a whole sentence,..i was pleased to read that you do as i,..because my friends tend to laugh or raise an eyebrow when i say to Molly,..things like,..Hi,..wait a sec,..where do you thing you are going,..hang around we are leaving soon,..and Molly sits,..lol. Molly and the lookalike Kitten!,..lol,..they just see everything in black and white. ..................................................... Hi Tooty2shoes, glad you are enjoying the pictures,..i agree those two are a pair,..but its Molly's kitten all right. .................................................... Hudson checking out the flowers today. Sniff,..sniff. ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden ) Its NOT great is it?. ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden )
Both dogs sniff at the flowers,..it always makes me smile to see this,..i know all dogs sniff around all the time,..but seeing them sniff flowers is a tad different. Oh i could sleep here. ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden )
What a beautiful photo of Molly & the kittie Philip, they blend so well together, worthy of a frame I think.
Hi Pat, i agree its a nice picture,..sometimes you just click at the right moment,..they are a pair those two. Booth,..what Booth?. ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden )
Molly and her Propeller,..well it sure looked like that as she just sat in the water waiting for me to throw the ball. http://s1098.photobucket.com/albums/g363/glengarry23/ ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden )
The old girl is really showing signs of age,..i am sure of course its Senior Dementia,..it just came on,..i was away for five days,..when i came back Hudson really acted strange on my return,..standing waiting for the hinge side of the door to open,..wandering constantly around and around the house,..and the garden,..letting her out to the yard,..then minutes later she wants out again and again,..but not going to the toilet,..the old head is mixed up.

Hi Philip. Oh, Hudson, bless her heart! What a sweet doggy. We are dealing with a senior canine here also. Some days it really tugs at my heart. Missy just sleeps and sleeps. As for Molly, she appears full of energy. what a character
Hi Kay, yes we are both in the same position with Missy and Hudson,.. age wise,..while Hudson sleeps i have often changed clothes,..gone shopping to the Supermarket then returned put away the shopping to find Hudson never woke up from the time i left the house. I have to leave the glass sliding door open from the time she heads out to the yard otherwise she charges back straight into the glass door,..when she wants out,..she forgets why,..and comes back inside only to turn around and want out again . Once she is not in pain or uncomfortable that's fine with me,..i give her food now to help aging joints,..mmmm i might try some myself. Molly,..yes Goofy,but a very happy dog,so full of energy and curiosity. In better days. ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden )
While on our required daily walk around the block today, Missy veered off the sidewalk and just stood there like she had forgotten what we were doing. She does have a lot of senior moments. Gosh we love our old girl. Sweet old Missy ( photo / image / picture from Kay's Garden )
