My dog, Jones, a black mouth cur bites at water streams despite an incident a few years back where he bit the stream of a 2500 psi power washer as my wife was cleaning the deck. Never heard a dog make a sound like that before!!

I can imagine. Just think about what kind of sound you'd have made if you'd bit that stream.:laughing::laughing:

My wife used to give six Springer Spaniels their summer bath in a kiddie pool filled with water and warmed in the sun for two days. For the dogs, it was an all-out water party romp but the wife came out soaked and frazzled after a fight to get them lathered up and rinsed off. Probably cost me a shopping trip and a pair of shoes later but the dogs sure were clean and sweet for a few days.

That's how I bath my shepherd. I just get her worn out chasing the garden hose first. Go out in a bathing suit and pretty much expect to get soaked. She has fun first, then is too worn out to fight the bath. Wife and I figured out fast, it's much easier in the kiddie pool.

We used to bath her in the tub. That took two people and was the equivalent of wrestling a bear. Not to mention it looked like a water bomb went off in the bathroom, and both my wife and I needed a dry set of clothes.

I had a lab that loved the water, but I could never get her into my canoe. So I filled it with water on the lawn and let her use it for a wading pool for a few days. It actually worked; but have you ever tried to flip over a 17' canoe that's setting on land, and full of water?

Dftodd, she's a dead ringer for my girl Oona. She's the smartest, most loyal, obedient and loving Shepard I've ever owned (I've had a few). However when there's a garden hose around, all bets are off.

Is that a dog, or a polar bear?

I think it is the later. How it fit in the car is my question.

Pretty much however the heck he wants to!

One of the daughter's pair of Akitas. 8 months old, somewhere north of 100 pounds. Fortunately, he has the disposition of a big ol' teddy bear.

No pictures but we have a sea dog hanging around the bay lately barking and driving all the land dogs nuts.

Mommas little helper :thumbsup:

I honestly think she's trying to tell my wife enough on the laundry, it's time for bed

Mine does that to shed fur this time of year and shake off ticks

She's on that K9 Advantics and I treat the yard. I check her every couple of days for ticks, and have yet to find one on her. Ever since she was a pup, if my wife's doing laundry, she's got to be in the thick of it helping

Loves to shop also, you should see her with a shopping bag. She's gotta inspect and see what we got. Tail wagging the dog while she's inspecting

Although she has anxieties with back packs. She associates them with me going out of town for work. If I come home from work and toss down my gym bag, she will snag it and thrash the snot out of it, or try to take it from me if I have it in my hands. Even worse with a suitcase. She will tackle it and ride it down the hall trying to stop me from leaving. Then give me the stink eye once I get it outside.

Bug man had to alter his routines when spraying around the house once we figured out what was going on. They've been friends since she was a pup. But was acting squirrelly around him the last time he was out. He switched up to a back pack sprayer instead of a little hand held sprayer.

Once we determined it was the "back pack", he just puts her inside while he sprays the outside, then gives her a treat and let's her outside to finish up.
