Couch Potatoes?

As I sit here, watching the boys dream of chasing rabbits whilst curled (in exactlty the same position!) up on the sofa, I can't help but wonder... 'what happened?'

I had such good intentions, having white dogs it's important that they stay on the floor otherwise you get covered in short white hairs whenever you sit down.

But no - they have, once again, got their way!
Why?
Because it's easier! It's all for a quiet life!!

Please people, unless you want to be hoovering your furniture several times a day or getting covered in hairs - don't get your dogs into bad habits!!

The Good Old Days When Dogs Weren't Dirty

Attempting to find a venue for my training classes is proving to be more of a challenge than I had ever imagined.

It's funny, I don't seem to recall any children dying from 'dog germs'
back in the day when training classes were held in the local community hall or school assembly hall out of hours so dogs must have become much dirtier in the last few years!

According to 'Health and Safety' regulations I cannot take a dog class in a hall which is occupied by children a different day of the week, even if I clean up after each visit.

Considering the children have to walk where dogs have walked (and pooped!) on their way to the hall, do we not think this may be ever so slightly OTT?

Perhaps we should be concerned by the irresponsible parents that keep their beloved babies with these dangerously dirty, germ generating monsters?? I mean, how are these children not dead yet?

Honestly, in the next few years we won't be allowed to take our dogs for a walk without them wearing a nappy and booties to ensure they don't spread any disease!
