It's been so long for me since my dog could play. Now, I much prefer to just sit late at night and hold him close and tight, caress him and try to tell him how much he means to me. He has almost been another child to me and now he's going away soon. I hope he know. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxterriermom Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 One of my two dogs can be quite the pill, but at the end of the day when she's tired and wants to cuddle there is no way I can hold any of her transgressions against her. She certainly doesn't hold any of mine against me. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Cicero Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Nope. Nope. Nope. He sleeps on the floor right outside my bedroom door. There is no way I am letting a dog that weighs as much as I do romp around in my bedroom and then take up all the space on my bed that my husband hasn't already claimed. When the mastiff wants to play, the whole house shakes. And if the little mutt wants to play, he'll be in the bedroom that belongs to the kid with the normal bed, not the one in the loft. He knows who is a sucker... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I squirt salve into each eye and he falls asleep with his head tucked under my chin. When he is well asleep I "tuck" him into one of his multitude of cat beds. They just fit him. My dog makes up for a lot of the crappiness in this world. Just being with him is therapy. I was heartbroken when he got "older" and it was too hot to sleep with us in bed. My wife often talks about how nice it was having him on her pillow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, and imagine your dog will do the same. I know my two Dobermans even if they are dead tired will come when called and do whatever is asked of them. I know I like my 2 dogs better than most people. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just like little children with no concept of "appropriate". But, children that would kill and die for you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrB Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 You can never own a Border Collie, they let you into their life and you adapt. That's why so many show up in rescue. Dave.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 2 "Yorkies" actually Biewer Terriers..THEY "control" our lives.."we" are their lifeline, everything they need is our responsibility....we love them, they love us.... If you have dogs, you must be fully committed to take care of them..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moshe Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 The only difficulty I have with dogs at the moment, is my daughter's rat terrier working on 8 months refuses to potty train. My GSD took to it right away. Even the cat figured out the litter box. The GSD just asks to go out when he has to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
