  5. Pastor Justin shares a story about his dogs to illustrate jealousy and selfish ambition. Drawing from James 3, he contrasts worldly wisdom with humility, urging listeners to act with love and understanding. Can you show more humility? #dogstory #wisdom #humility #jealousy #James3

  6. The spousal unit was in the right place at the right time when our (new-ish) next door neighbour's two dogs made the great escape because somebody didn't close the front door properly. We're on a busy street so it could have turned really badly.

    Anyway, the spousal unit managed to herd one of the dogs home fairly easily but he had to get the neighbour to run after the other one and lure it with food before it would willingly come home.

    And that was today's excitement, other than the constant snowfall. Oh, and it was actually the first time the spousal unit got to meet the dogs. He said he loved them.

  7. 5. A week later and the Mr, the Youngest and myself go back to the #RSPCA. He's brought into the room wearing a cone as he's been castrated. We learn that he's been an 'indoor' dog: never been out walking, never been in a car, not house-trained, never eaten dog food but scavenged human food scraps. Crikey, he looks like he's never eaten at all, his skin is translucent and his body sharp and knobbly, every bone visible.

    He is "10, or he might be 11, we're not really sure" years old and has a grade 4 heart murmur.

    He is anxious, aloof and in desperate need.

    We have what he needs and arrange a meeting for him and Hector, you know, just to see if they get on together...

    His name is Jed and he is the saddest, most elderly, poorly animal in the shelter and his name is already written across our hearts.

  8. I'm allergic to peanuts.

    Someone gave my dog a peanut butter treat at daycare today by accident.

    Tonight at 2 AM she came and vomited in the office next to me.

    My wife had to get up and clean it because it was literally toxic to me.

    What a trooper.

  9. CW: Paying dogs for what you get...a bit long

    At the fenced-park-that's-not-a-dog-park with Nori this morning, I called her away from the gate to a tot lot a good 100 yards away and she came flying.
    Another owner who's seen us around asked: what do you do to create that really great long recall?
    Me: (seeing his dog nearby) will your dog come to you now do you think?
    Him: ?? Probably?
    Me: call him
    He calls, dog comes, but casually, granting a favor
    Me: Feed him this. Gives him a bit of homemade beef/egg/oat/peanutbutter treat
    He feeds
    Me: Now let him go back to his friends.
    Dog is released and leaves.
    A few minutes pass as we talk about how much I feed for work.
    Me: Call him again
    He calls, dog drops what it's doing snappily and trots over excited.
    Him: I always assume people will be mad if I bring food to places I know there will be other dogs.
    Me: When people look at me side-eyed, I demonstrate why I bring it and they usually get it. It's my muddy pants. Not theirs. And you get used to having to turn away from pushy noses. Call him with really good food here at the park 3-4x a morning and I guarantee you'll see something different.
    Him: hmmmmmmm

    Upshot: I don't know why people stop giving treats for work whether it's on a short leash, long line or running free. You walk them every day. You invest the time in their lives. Why would you not invest 2-3 minutes extra to cut up some cheese and stick it in your pocket to make your dog happy and your life easier. Yeah. I carry food anyplace that's not a competition ring. And if Nori's CGC test and agility classes are any indicator, she knows I'll pay her at the end of the run without even trying.
