Dogs, dogs, dogs!

Came home opened my luggage to unpack. My beagle who has not seen me for two wks came asking mommy what r u doing. The moment I picked my black dress I wore for pops funeral. My beagle ran as fast as far as possible. Dogs are extremely intuitive I say.

President Biden signed the PAWS Act into law Wednesday.

The PAWS ACT, or 'Puppies Assisting Wounded Service members for Veterans Therapy Act,' authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to create a pilot program on dog training therapy that will provide dog-training skills and service dogs to veterans with mental illnesses.

Win Win for everyone ❤️❤️

Nugget s learning two new tricks. He’s learning “Speak” and to “Give me your paw” for treats.

I made peanut butter cookies and canned spaghetti sauce this morning. I gave Tippy a piece of peanut butter cookie. I finally had to convince him that they were all gone. But he is still looking at the carpet, thinking he can find a crumb of the deliciousness.

Micmel, the grief will ease. Have you heard of Hamnet, by Maggie O,Farrell? Maybe that will help.

omg feel better please. Good puppers!! Good puppers.

Tippy is seventeen pounds, so too much for a hawk or eagle. He is never off-leash outside unless he escapes. He has a need to run, so I take him for runs with my mobility scooter. Other times when we are on the property I drop the leash. He teases me, running ahead, then waiting until he is far behind, them passes by me. Occasionally a bear ambles through town, and everyone closes their doors and waits until it is gone. Other than that, coyotes and wolves stay away. We are working on ignoring big dogs. It is a work in progress.

lol

Nugget stayed pretty close to me after I received news of a dear friend having passed from lung cancer

Haven’t had to use one with Nugget yet. He tolerates thunderstorms pretty well.

Happy Gotcha Day, Nugget!!

My DD bought Thundershirts for her dog and mine. Her dog is 95 lb. and is so afraid he tries to hide behind the toilet in her powderroom. Mine just quakes and will hide behind the couch in the family room. Needless to say, they were expensive and did not work. She did manage to take both back for a refund. So I would think twice about purchasing one.

My beagle dog maybe a little needy. She is afraid of thunderstorm. So any time weather changes which is almost twice a day in Florida summers, She asks for thundershirt, and dogi anxiety pill with little bit of peanut butter.
