My dog came to me extremely timid, yet eager to please, as it seems your dog is. She couldn't learn a lot of things that I thought were "normal" for a dog to learn. The regular western vet said there was nothing wrong with her. But then we visited a holistic acupuncture clinic and they immediately saw that she had a back injury. After one acupuncture treatment and one chiropractic session, she was a completely different dog. She was confident, and she learned tricks within 5 minutes of me training her. <br /><br />Please take her to a holistic vet before you write her off as "retarded".AmieKimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643741973264866223.post-40652871346884509572010-08-26T06:50:30.169-06:002010-08-26T06:50:30.169-06:00That...

The blogs make me laugh and feel better. I enjoy the dog blog because I, like you did, have trouble communicating with humans and I get a kick out of training dogs, and when a dog doesn't get it I get frustrated. Then I remember the dog blog, and I think maybe some dogs just want to please people but seriously don't know how. So I make sure to go slow the next time I work with them in the hopes of the dog getting it eventually.<br /><br />P.s. yes I do realize that this comment is random but yet still to the pointAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754457494627445686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643741973264866223.post-59056917664644953442010-08-24T09:30:32.073-06:002010-08-24T09:30:32.073-06:00My dog licks everywhere and everything.

(figuratively speaking off course, dead people cannot type, unless they're Zombies as everyone knows how well Zombies can type but I digress).<br /><br />Last Friday I was feeling down and didn't have anyone to talk to or anywhere to go so I though 'hey, why note roll a fatty and read that crazy girls awesome blog? So I did and came across the dog story....and proceeded to screech uncontrolably with laughter for the next ten minutes, possibly terrifying my neighbours into the bargain. Needlesss to say my bad mood was banished to wherever it is bad moods go, you should seriously market your blog as an anti-depressant! <br /><br />Keep up the great work Miss Brosh, you're awesometatious (yes, that is a word)Pauloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109301555187712997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643741973264866223.post-9877759914067623832010-08-23T13:39:26.891-06:002010-08-23T13:39:26.891-06:00Fear not.

However, when he catches his tail, he lays down on the ground and chews on it. His own back leg gets in the way of this chewing activity. More specifically, he kicks himself in the face while chewing on his tail. He doesn't realize that the foot that is kicking him in the face is his own so he gets mad at it and then growls and bites it. This causes him pain that he promptly yeeps from and then runs away in terror from the invisible sharp teeth monster that has bitten his foot. This has been happening almost daily for around 8 years. He's that stupid. But you know what? Doesn't make him any less of a great dog. He's stupid but he loves us unconditionally and he watches the house and bites intruders (we had intruders and they got bit and none of our stuff got taken). Your dog may be retarded but I'd bet you good money that she wouldn't let anyone harm you. :o)Meredithhttp://mytenhappythings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643741973264866223.post-58119708401684804422010-08-23T02:51:40.523-06:002010-08-23T02:51:40.523-06:00I love the way You paint the dog...

When she looks at you, smile a HUGE smile. She gets 100% of the points if she gets up and comes right to you, something like 80% if she looks at you for a while and then either comes or indicates that she's aware you're happy, and 50% if she even notices you. Trust. She'll pass that one.Wiggs (The Beholder)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09593551151057982269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643741973264866223.post-35128832812597522992010-07-20T09:24:07.420-06:002010-07-20T09:24:07.420-06:00My boxer, lovable as she is, also failed the cup t...My boxer, lovable as she is, also failed the cup test. I was encouraged when she nosed the cup twice, but then she sighed and just settled down next to it for a nap.<br /><br />Last week I took a vacation at the family lake cabin. While doling out peanuts to the local chipmunks, my boyfriend and I decided to give them the cup test, thinking this might make us feel better about my dog's intelligence deficit. Took the chipmunks about 2 seconds to overturn the cup, which completely dwarfed them.<br /><br />Our dogs?
