Hi Tracy,

You probably had a decent reason. I yelled at Scratchy the other day for coming into the study - looking for a pat - while I was losing an online blitz chess game. Like it was his fault I blundered that knight.

If I do that again he might stop coming into the study to say hello, and won't that serve me right.

Tracey, Fergs still loves you. Dogs are like that. If you feel bad about being bad to your dog, your dog just gets sorry for you and feels bad too.

It is your duty as the one who loves a dog to be happy as much as you possibly can. That way the dog can relax for a bit, and be off duty in terms of making you happy.

Hi Chris

Thanks, I know I did have a good reason but I still feel bad. But he's definitely been quite belligerent lately and not listening when I tell him to stop barking (he's been hanging around with the wrong crowd). Yet, he's still irresistibly gorgeous.

Hi Carolyn

Aw, I don't want him to feel bad and that's why it takes me about 4 mins to apologise to him.

Byee

Well, I'm glad that you all recognize the job that we dogs do, it is a tough one, but we love it and our people. When mom is in a bad mood or feeling grouchy I just play snuggle bunny and lay as close up to her as I can get. She loves me, and grouchy is ok, 'cause she then hugs me a lot.
