Can Dogs shape our lives?

Oh YES, take Sennen for example, she has taught us after at least 7 "loo rolls" destroyed to now put them on the cistern behind the loo up high...We are a bit slow here, we never caught her doing it, just the end result on the bathroom floor or our bed!
The coal bucket having been emptied on numerous occasions on to the only carpet in the house, has a new place to sit .....On top of the TV! the log basket having had wood taken out eaten or chewed up, is now in the utility room, behind a closed door as she has also been known to take the next mornings bones out of the sink in their bag and trot off out into the garden.....

She has taught us, a cry by the door means she wants to go outside, not neccessarly to have a wee, but a tear around and possible dig up a plant, chase the naughty blackbirds or worse still find some thing really manky to bring back into the house to eat......
But best of all she has taught us to laugh loads and remember some of the other dogs antics which I had forgotten about...

We always offer the dogs different types of foods, from wine gums to ice cream to a tongue full of wine to popcorn etc.....which has just jogged my memory of Cassie who liked to eat wine gums...but this day she chucked it around a bit and then we lost interest watching her....to the following day me having a panic that she had a lump behind her ear only to find an orange one stuck behind her ear! Ian and I laughed for weeks after that one and still do.....

Did you spot Mindy blending in well on the throw with Sennen?

Ps. She is also shaping the back of the sofa into a foot stool!
