We get an elderly cocker named 'Spikey' in for boarding and grooming on a failry regular basis. As you might guess from the name, he has a bit of an attitude, though generally he's okay with routine grooming.

Last summer, he developed severe diarrhea while in for boarding. We talked to the owners, and they said it was okay to give him whatever medication the vet recommended.

Sarah had a go at getting the pills down his throat. He nearly took a finger off.

I got some wet dog food, and inserted the pills in 2 globs of it.

Spikey sniffed them suspiciously, then took the first one in his mouth. He used his tongue to remove the pill, then spat it out. He did the same thing with the second glob, too.

He then looked me straight in the eye, and gave a low, menacing growl.

The message was very clear: "Don't you DARE try that again!"

His owners decided to come home a day or two early from vacation, so they could treat him at home. 

It's the first time I remember being 'told off' by a dog!

One evening I had a group of girlfriends over for a birthday party. I had been very busy all day so Shelby didn't get the typical exercise and attention she normally got. Anyway, my friends and I had a nice fun evening and everyone left around 9:30-10pm. When I went into my bedroom I found the zippers on my purse had been opened (I always close them) and every single item had been removed - my wallet, pens, papers, hairbrush, hand sanitizer, lip gloss and few other items. It looked like each item had been strategically placed on the floor around the bed. Some credit cards had even been taken out of my wallet and spread around. There was not a toothmark on anything. Shelby followed around and simply stared at me while I picked everything up. It was done so neatly I though maybe one of my friends had snuck into the bedroom to play a joke on me. I even called to ask them- but it was my sweet innocent looking Shelby that did the job! I guess it was her was of letting me know she wanted attention. She has done it a couple times since then too. Prior to that I thought she wasn't the "sharpest knife in the drawer", if you know what I mean . She sure showed me!  

About three years ago my wife and I and Pango went away over night. On Sun morning we are returning home and stopped at the Dunkin Doughnuts in Auburn MA. We are all (Dog included) eating a bagel with cream cheese and just about done when I look in my mirror and right behind us is a blue Chevy Suburban with CT plates towing a 4 dog trailer with a GSD emblem on the side, they are in the drive up lane. A woman is driving and a guy is in the passengers seat.

Now my SUV has factory tinted windows so dark you can't see Pango in the back. I happened to be wearing an official US Border Patrol hat. So I said to my wife watch this, she is like oh no! What are you going to do?

So I pull up on their right side and stop right next to them. I look over with a real stearn face and motion the the guy to put his window down. I can see them both reading the US Border Patrol emblem on my hat and their mouths drop and I can read the expression on their faces, it was like what the hell does the border patrol want with us. They looked very concerned even scared a little. I just stared at them for a few seconds.

Next I put my right hand up in the air and snapped my fingers, in about a half a second there was Pango's big blockhead right next to mine. Next I was going to tell him to sing (he howls like a wolf when told to sing) but before I could all the Dogs in their trailer started barking and Pango stuck his head out the window and barked right back at them.

At this time they both realized the only reason I pulled up next to them was to say, hey I got a GSD on board also. They were laughing their heads off and I yelled over have a good day training, the guy yelled back thanks, and thanks for the laugh. 
 


 

One LOL moment I remember well was with my first GSD years ago.

Klaire was a DDR/Czech dog, very dark blanket saddle (nearly bi-color) and her favorite thing in the world was water.  To swim in, to splash in, to bite at (from a spraying water hose).

One sunny hot summer day we were out in the yard, some guy we didn't know was playing with his kids up and down the sidewalk of our street, pretending to hunt them and shoot them with his big water gun .  Well the guy and his kids wandered by our yard area to play on the huge rocks and climbing trees.  Klaire saw him with that water gun and she charged full speed at him and freaked the guy out.  He froze, stuck his hands up in the air (like as if a cop was yelling at him) and the expression on his face was one of terror. 
Klaire stopped right in front of him and bounced up and down on her front feet and gave a few high pitched barks (think of a dog doing a happy bark and hold).  I could clearly see the guy's eye whites from a dozen paces away. 
I told him to shoot her with the water, thats all she wanted, I had to tell him a few times but he finally complied and Klaire was so happy to bite at the water and dance around.  Within a few minutes the guy and his kids realized that the big dark German Shepherd just wanted to play too and the kids got a real hoot out of it, the guy smiled but he was still pretty nervous. 
I had a big laugh about it after they left. 

A friend of mine wanted to go to a local dog park with our two dogs. Since my male GSD had already proven he was okay with dogparks, I agreed.

The 'park' was just a part of the lawn of the local high school. There were a few trees along the fenceline, but nothing in the centre where most of the people and dogs were congregating.

Much to my horror and embarrassment, as soon as I let him off leash, Ranger began lifting his leg and peeing on people's legs and shoes! He nailed 3 of them before I could grab him and get him back on leash. We then made a very loooong, slow tour of the fenceline before I dared to return to where most of the dogs and people were gathered.

Even though I kept him on leash for the rest of the time we were there, I noticed everybody was avoiding us!

Ranger had a sense of humor! LOL, Sunsilver! Don't you love when your dog acts extra special? I always figured mine were trying to tell me something when they did stuff like that!

Very funny stories! I love the water gun, I've seen my puppies (almost 4 year old puppies, now!) go charging up to someone they wanted to play with, you can practically see them go pale....!!! And my little idiots wouldn't harm a fly, they're just girls looking for fun!! But anything with that many teeth.....well, I guess they look like land sharks to most folks!jackie harris
