the "go slow" when your in a hurry and they just stroll around with out a care in the world.

also the need to carry their drinking water to leave on your lap.....jeeeez i hate that!

Picking up poo is no problem, it just goes with the territory

Not being able to get into their minds and really understand what they're about sometimes, that's my biggest frustration. If only they could talk...

I have no problem with picking up poo as the private estate I walk on makes a condition of walking there that we leave nature to deal with it... and just to use a stick to move it off any path!

I am relieved that my dogs won't outlive me (hopefully) the thought of the going to a dogs home is far worse than the crippling grief I felt at losing my old boy, I hope I will be with my current pups for every last breath.

I also have a will that ensures that my dogs go back to their breeder should I die unexpectedly.

same here, i dread losing charlie, he means the world to me.
but on a lighter note, why oh why does he ALLWAYS have a good shake the minute iv'e put the hoover away?

running in from the garden at 100 mile an hour, covered in mud, and shaking in my( once ) nice clean living room

and smirking at me scrubbing the walls down, and the MIL is on her way!!!!!!

My pet hates
1, Running in so fast she slides on the lamnate floor and knock everthing of the table in her path, (today we have since moved everthing)
2, Every time we get dressed up to go out she deciedes to cover us with hair.
£ Farting in the car.
apart from them I love her to bits.

For me, it is the having to say goodbye.
Why can't they have a longer lifespan?
Dearly loved companions - with us for such a short time.

All the above plus after all the training you do and you are sooo proud of them, in come new visitors and they undo all their training and jump up at them, of course no clicker to hand !

I let dogs in when im on shift (when the store is quiet). I always tell the owners if they make a mess, they have to clean it up! So far we have had no incidents. Iv even had dogs behind the counter.

Iv had a gorgeous black Lab stray behind the counter with for the day once! We found him on the town center in the morning, i rang the council and they had a call earlier saying he was missing. I hang on to him for my entire shift,. Fed and watered him too. The owner gets there just before i leave for home and takes him without so much if a thanks!!!!

Hmm probably not being able to go out without feeling guilty.

wishing I could have a large enough house to have lots more dogs.

The poo thing is so true, and Roxys really really smell bad.

And the farting whilst cuddled up with you on the sofa
