Vegas (my GSD) wont eat unless I make her do a few tricks and reward her for it, then she will eat but not before. If I don't she give me a look saying I didn't deserve this ...

I wish I had an easy way to directly uplaod videos, as I have countless hilarious clips of our Boston terror. The best are the sneezing fits that start whenever she's trying to catch a thrown bone or Frisbee, and gets bopped in the nose.

The other thing that cracks me up is their tendency to go flipping end-over-end, due to their head being nearly as heavy as their body. Chasing a ball, they will almost always end up fliping themselves over the ball.

My current rescue, Pyr and herding dog, has phenominal hearing. We live more than a quarter mile off the paved road and even if we are watching television she can hear a car pull off the paved road onto the dirt road. She immediately goes to the front door to see if they are coming to us.

Our German shepherd tattles on my wife

The other day though, she got everyone in the house to go for a walk with her.

Gypsy went over to my wife first, and nudged her. She then went to my wife's shoes, and then nudged her leash that hangs by the door.

So my wife got up to put her shoes on and take her out for a walk.

Well gypsy went over to my wife's sister who was stretched out on the couch. Nudged her, and then pointed at her shoes

She made sure they both went walking

We had a weiney dog that really didn't like deer.

We were riding in the truck, and all of a sudden he perked up and started growling really low.

He was focused down the road and off to the right.

We got about a 1/2, mile down the road, and the woods opened up to a field and farm.

He was focused and as we were going past the farm, we saw that a farmer had a deer strung up from a hunt.

He was focused on that deer hanging in the distance.

I couldn't get over the strength of his nose.

I have to hold the spoon down for our GSD to lick off the remaining canned dog food and ask the madam if her dinner meets her expectations

She will not eat until she gets to clean off the spoon

I throw in the last part when we have people over. It's usually good for a few laughs.

We forgot to tell my mom about the "Toll Bone" when she dog sat for us.

She gets a dental treat before bed.

The next morning I remembered and called my mom to tell her about it.

She told me she figured it out last night.

Mom was getting ready for bed, and gypsy went over and sat next to where her cookie jar was. When mom asked her what she wanted, she nosed the jar. When mom inspected the contents of the cookie jar and saw the dental treats, she figured that was her routine and gave her one. After she got her treat, she headed for bed.
