Our owner can sometimes be aloof. We are still working on the basic training commands such as, scratch me right now, give me your sandwich and scoot over on the sofa so I can get up there, too. If we are persistant, I know she'll come around.
Pet rules for owner:
Any socks or unmentionables left on the floor will be carried throughout the house in Chloe's mouth and displayed to anyone who happens to pop in without prior consent from the dog owner. All human visitors are here to see Charlie and Chloe.
I have four, 2 Goldens and two cats. One cat has only three legs due to a very cranky neighbor (long story). They all get along well and are very healthy. Dogs love to be inside as close to me as possible at all times. They are very well trained and love to play with other dogs.
Thanks for the nice note about Max the Cat. Whata terrible story about your kitty, but a happy ending. Max's owners are in Costa Rica without good computer access, but I would love my friend to read the comments I received about her big boy! She'll have to become a PetSmooch member when she returns!
