Conversations With My Guide-Dog

I know you are highly intelligent, so how come you always manage to get
your front paws tangled in your leash like this?

You must know that eating grass or kitty excreta will give you gas, so
why do you always look offended when you are the one fumigating the room?

I love you, but I don't like being used as your napkin when you have just
dunked your muzzle in your drinking bowl.

No, I don't think water does taste better when imbibed from a toilet
bowl!
I just know so and don't have to try it!

You could wipe your own feet before coming in all muddy you know.

And shaking fur all over a restaurant isn't funny. It isn't another way
to say thank you or goodbye.

No, I know that putting your cold nose on them makes people move, and let
us get to the front of the line, but we can wait our turn.

Yes I understand that he said something rude to you, but its his yard and
you are a professional, so just walk past and ignore him.

No, you can't take your toys with us, you are working!

Behave yourself or I'll put this harness on the cat!

Yes, we are shopping again, and the object isn't to go in one door and
find the exit as fast as we can and no you can't just pick up things and
expect me to pay for them.

I brushed you this morning and you don't have fleas, so stop scratching
and jangling your tags like that! You are interrupting the meeting!

Wake up, I know the sermon was extra long, but snoring is impolite.

Yes, that's your dinner and I know mine looks better, but yours is well
balanced and nutritious.

Don't huff at me, I am not being ridiculous and yes I do too know where
we are going and it isn't back the other way! Yes, you are very smart to
remember this place, but we aren't going there today.

No, it isn't all right to chase the neighbor's cat out of your yard
because it isn't our cat.

Just because it is on the floor doesn't make it yours.

Yes I know where the dog biscuits are and you are not getting another
one.

Yes I know everyone says you are beautiful and clever, but you don't need
to thank them all personally for the attention.

You can too fit under an airline seat!

Okay, you win, being half in my lap is reasonable when you get scared.

Yes, you are the bestest dog in the whole world. And yes, I DO love you!

Ok, one for Paisley.

"I know the cat keeps beating you up. But you are a big, scarry German Shepehrd, with sharp pointy teeth, so please stop running away from him and squeeling like that. He's only twelve pounds for Christ's sake, you're sixty two. And, if you absolutely insist on letting him chase you around the back-yard poolin circles , Plese, just don't let the other Shepherds know about this imbarrassment, all right?"

I love this, T-roy. Makes me want to apply for a new puppy immediately! (I lost mine earlier this year. Talking about her a little helps, but I know it's kind of a downer to other people. Sorry.)

That huffing thing brought to mind so clearly some memories of my dog... thank you. I clicked on this category knowing it was probably a foolish, potentially painful thing, but actually I've been laughing at and enjoying stories.

This bit was especially true, and funny:
...but its his yard and
you are a professional, so just walk past and ignore him.

GRR! Why do they always want to stop and do their business when there's someone nearby?

And my dog, a lab, was afraid of cats, too. Glad to know the mighty shepherd is capable of sharing this cowardly trait. LOL I got teased about it!

steven actually got along well with my puppy-raiser's cat. lol

Aww. Did you get to meet Steven's puppy raiser, Nymphadora?

I talked to Denise's by phone, once, which was really nice, although for a little while, I felt a bit guilty, you see she'd lived in this nice, large house on several acres of land, and the family had other dogs--goldens. I felt sort of bad about the fact that when she came to me, I didn't have as nice a place to bring her too, or another dog to play with, not right away! LOL

My boyfriend's dog disliked other dogs, unless they were also labs, (we used to joke that she was a snob) and she loved kitties. She was raised by people who only had cats. The quirks of these dogs! LOL

Yes, i met his puppy-raisers on Graduation day. a very nice family. *smile8

I've only had the "getting your paws tangled in your leash" conversation once with him. He seemed to understand. lol

I just reread this post, and loved it just as much this time round as when I read it originally. I think it may be in my top 10 favorite board posts.
