I need a nap. |
Mom wanted me to help and take stuff into the other room. I only carry my toys from place to place. But carry her things, nuh uh. Besides, she never taught me to do that.
It got me to thinking what other things I don't do that other dogs do.
I don't fetch because I get bored.
I don't swim because I don't like water.
I don't rollover because I'm afraid to be on my back.
I don't always come when I'm called. I used to.
I don't always walk next to her on our walks.
There are things that I do that's good:
I cuddle especially when it's thundering.
I beg nicely for cookies.
I bark when people come to the door if she's home. (To protect her.)
I love her.
Lynda is taking over to write about what she would have done differently.
I would have been more diligent in his training and kept up with it.
I would have taught him:
to walk without pulling
to not snap at other dogs
to fetch
to know that I should have been better at housebreaking him
to have continued with his agility classes
I'm sure there are many more things, I just can't think of them and get depressed looking at those I mentioned.
Although not an excuse, BJ is the first dog of my own.
What are some of the things that you would do differently?
