I have always found Tuxies to be fearless and very good at making their point known.The cats don't care for Ripley but Sammy is much more ballsy around her, very willing to stand her ground and tell Ripley off. I think she was trying to send a message to Ripley here. Or maybe that message was "I've made a grave mistake"

Amazing....I see it as a sign as well Reminder of the greatness of what once was....This is weird. This is Cooper's grave who died in 2017. It's under a tree so grass or anything else never grows on it. I saw this growth today and have no idea what it is (in northwest NJ). It over his head. Everything else is dead and brown for the winter and this looks like it's spring.

It sounds like the best decision, however hard it was to come to do. I admire you for your love and concern for the dog over all else.Just a quick update about Otto
Perfectly happy until I put the booties on. Too bad I can’t take him to the park until I am done with quarantine. This is a new fleece I got off Etsy. Really wanted to try the booties in the snow.

He wants to keep your mind off being ill and he does not want you to forget how to play with him.“Hey mom I know you are sick with covid and everything- but I really need you to throw this repeatedly for hours. I promise ill bring it back every time.”

Bettin' that's easy-peasy when you do it! Your girl is way good.Going for our CGCA
Both are really beautiful!Phoebe sort of looks like her mom, Poppy here
Thanks! She's going to be much better for this than the 6-8 month version of her doing the CGC. We are in good hands! Our trainer/evaluator first thing stated in class was to advocate for your dog and we will be saying No to people that desire to greet them. That's the hardest thing for her (mostly women and children) and she's already doing so well. I was worried because first thing she did when we went in was stare at a man, who stared back and she popped off a deep howling bark. Great! She did so good the rest of the class though! I went to a very busy PetSmart later today and plopped her right in the middle of the main aisle for a 3+ min down stay. Puppies were staring at her and she looked back but then looked at me after a few seconds for that check in treat. A little boy was talking to her and she immediately checked in with me. No whining! (Huge for her...why are they SO vocal?!) Did that a few times in different spots with people and dogs walking around. Very good girl...like theres actually a working brain thereBettin' that's easy-peasy when you do it! Your girl is way good.
Awesome. Asha is better at not whining until I get out of sight. And even then, it's better, but as I press into 10 minutes it rears it's ugly head. I presume you were pretty close for this public down-stay.No whining! (Huge for her...why are they SO vocal?!)
That face says, "caught and up to no good!"
I call her my Polka Face.. she is just the sweetest... thank youThat face says, "caught and up to no good!"
