Vignette of the week: a friend of mine has a boisterous dog, who's having issues. Sitting; fetching; not yanking the person walking her as though they were a cartoon character- although a very affectionate animal, the dog is having problems with Dog 101.
Of late, this has centered around the dog's being fed: she'll be told to sit as the food bowl is placed on the floor; she then has to wait until the owner gives the okay to chow down. I glance away as her meal is prepared, and the command to sit is given; her owner suddenly starts laughing. I look back, and the dog, butt firmly on the floor, is sliding towards the food with a look that clearly says, I'm sitting- what more do you want?"
And on that note, welcome
