To give us a smile

All true!

Lab will drool over a plate of food in the hope that she will get it as it's now inedible. Or she'll forlornly paw close to the edge of the plate. Collie has more sense and waits.

Lab does a frantic headway dash up and down the stairs, with eyes wide open, tongue lolling, and a constant woof-woof-woof! Collie gets halfway up, realises he's higher than the ground and freezes.

Bathroom- no problem with Collie, he'll lie on the ground waiting for a pat when you get out. They were banned when I got a tad sick of turning around in the shower to find a newly-soaked Lab spraying water everywhere with her tail.

Bedroom- They both are banned. They're dead weight. Have you ever tried to move a grumpy, sleepy, uncompromising Lab at 3am?

The odd thing is - if Im in the shower - they will come in the bathroom, look all round and for some reason they cant see me behind the glass door - pmsl - out they go, back they come, they can hear the water, they can hear mum's voice but oh no, she has disappeared in that box.

How To Wash The Cat

1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water.
3. Obtain the cat and carry him to the bathroom.
4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape).
CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for anything he can find.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power wash and rinse" which I have found to be quite effective.
6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself.
Sincerely, The DOG

I'm unable to go to the toilet in peace. Our cats have worked out that if they walk into the bathroom door hard enough it'll open. I now have to make sure the bedroom door opposite is kept shut, or the neighbours in the house opposite might get a view of me on the toilet if they look through their bedroom window. They don't do it to OH, only me.

Lab's favourite trick? Scaring the living daylights out of anyone who ventures into our kitchen while she's outside. There's a locker under the window, and she jumps onto the locker and proceeds to stare out anyone who had been looking out into the garden- confronted with an unblinking, seemingly 8ft tall Lab whose tail is wagging her has unnerved a few people......

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

Luckily my dog doesn't fall faster than I can catch, as he fell down the stairs today in his excitement to see me! Stupid dog is already costing us enough in vets bills, and he goes and launches himself down the stairs! He is fine though

Great post, so, so true.

The best from the rough collie as a pup- we were resting during a walk and I looked over the wall of a bridge to see the water below. Luckily I had him on a lead still, as he suddenly jumped over the wall, and was lucky we managed to catch him on the lead and haul him back over..... I could have sworn the Lab was laughing at him though!
No harm done, though he's a bit more respectful since and always checks what he's jumping onto now!

My DD2 very kindly taught our 2 year old Border Collie what 'Bath' means - usually that there will be a lot of BUBBLES!!! So now when I go for a bath I have to say I am off upstairs or she is straight in the bathroom and refuses to leave until she has saved me from all the horrible bubbles that sit in the bath with me (even if this means she has to lean over the bath to get them!)

Fortunately 22 week old Border Collie boy is no where near as clever - YET!!! lol

Lab inadvertantly was taught to respond to 'Spiderkiller'.... If I say it and point, she'll find the offending little spider, crunch it up, and present it's body in exchange for a treat. Lovely trick!

Collie has fantastic recall, but bizarrely- only if he can see you. If he turns a corner, he will just stand there waiting while you call. He's a gorgeous dog, but not maybe the brightest.

Lab wrangled sofa space last night, which is an occasional treat. I let her up, and DH made a play of pretending to be annoyed- which brings out trick no 2 'Pillow!'.... She scrunches up under the pillows and looks out- like a crab from a rock, plays dead, and thinks we can't see her, which obviously gives more sofa rights in her head....

Collie dislikes the sofa, it's too warm. He lies on the floor and as an oddity, will keep putting his paw on your foot. If you move your foot at all, he happily plays footsie, whether you want or not.
