    Well I'm hobbling round today with a knee three times it's normal size and various shades of black and blue...Jack is being ultra grovelly, keeps darting worried looks at me and creeping around me as if to say,"Hope she's in a better mood today"...and WHY do I feel like the worst dog owner EVER?? Even after I've gone into overdrive on dog treats for him he still looks reproachful.

    Poor little fella couldn't help sending me flying. Next door neighbour said she heard me effing and blinding and said to her hubby I was having a murderous row with my husband...!!

    Embarrassing or what?

    I'd be looking reproachful if it meant you kept plying me with treats. Have you considered he's training you and taking advantage of your massive guilty conscience, and not the other way round? :)
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Of course he's training me. What dog doesn't train his owner?

    They have a poo, you pick it up.

    Who's the servant there?

    Next time you get a dog get one from abroad that doesn't speak English. Then you can swear at him/her with impunity.

    It doesn't work like that - we have an English Springer Spaniel who has no grasp of the English language at all....

    I swear one day my dog will kill me, she follows me around right behind me when I am cooking or carrying things up and down stairs. I often tell her to eff off.

    no she just wags her tail and looks at me with big brown melty eyes.

    Mine have had choice words- can be funny when they've been told off.

    Collie will sit in a corner with huge miserable eyes, the sadness and misery evident, down to the occasional whine. After two minutes, he's forgotten he's been told off, forgotten he's sitting being 'upset' and is blundering round, tail going merrily.

    Lab will choose the one spot where she can sit with her back to everyone, ramrod straight, and the occasional sniff to show her disapproval. She'll glance round every few seconds to make sure you're fully aware of her. If you make eye contact, her tail will start sweeping the floor, and she'll sit on it, as she's not done showing disapproval yet. Eventually she gives up and will start scooting backwards until her back is touching your knee, and will glance up, seemingly completely surprised before taking it she's now served her time....
