The only thing I really like about my job is I'm a residential grounds keeper and people are always out walking their dogs and they all come over to see me (I bet I know 50 dogs or so). Cheers!

He still cowers and shakes if I put him on a table or counter. O_o
I started gaining my dogs trust by whispering to him that pretty soon I'll send the scary lady on a beer run then steal him and take him home were we will live happily ever after. ... moreI started gaining my dogs trust by whispering to him that pretty soon I'll send the scary lady on a beer run then steal him and take him home were we will live happily ever after. After I stole him he was still nervous wreak so I would pat him on the head and say - dar dar dar the scary lady is all gone but I think we both knew that pretty soon the scary lady would come looking for him. I stole the dog I have now from a party house because I could see that all the fighting and screaming was hard on him so I stole/rescued him (the scary lady was the loudest and craziest one at the house). When the scary lady did come looking for her dog I told her why I took her dog and luckily she didn't kill me because she knew some of the other dogs I had and how well they were treated. The dog had nervous problems for months after that so I would sometimes pat him on the head and say things to him like dar dar dar the scary lady is never coming back because she is stuck in a snow drift in Saskatchewan (she really wasn't but i... less

Well today she got into my bed and snuggled with me. I adjusted for her like I usually do and rhen she started moving around crazy. She was hyper! I kept telling her to stop (my cats usually listen to me) but she didn't.) The last straw was when she dug her nails in me through a blanket and then I put her out of my bed. She meowed innocently like she didn't do anything wrong and then she left...I haven't seen her all day today since then.

I was about 50 feet away and as I was running over to break it up I could see that they weren't goofing around or holding back. Then I noticed that our family dog was going nuts with confusion he would try to stop one boy from throwing punches then the other boy and so on. When I got to them I got between them and said - look what your doing to Sundance they did then hung their heads in shame and went to their corners. Pretty sure if I would of said - boys look what your doing to me they would of said - so what old man (back then I was getting on their 17 year old teenager nerves too). We have a great relationship now so I'll always be grateful to Sundance for playing a part in it (might be different these days if the fight turned into a 3 man fight). Cheers! less
