Jack, the Man of the House

    Well, when my submariner husband is on duty or out to sea, Jack is the man of the house. I thought id brag a little and say, Jack kills bugs (esp. Spiders) for me so i dont have to!! LOL YEAH, im not kidding!! (jelious right?) The other day when hubby was on duty, i saw a HUGE black spider crawling by my foot, i called Jack (just to see what he'd do) and pointed at the spider (I HATE SPIDERS) and he took his Manly paws, and SMASHED it for me!!! LOL!!! YEAY, my hero, i would have just let it crawl away because i was barefooted and they TOTALLY freak me out!!! I gave him a peanut butter sandwich as a treat and hugged him so tight he probably couldnt breathe, lol. now whenever theres a creapy crawling thing, i get Jack to take care of it for me!! Its great!! lol

    Hmmmm, at least he crushes them first. Mine torture eveything, roll it around, disable it, then let it suffer because it doesn't move right anymore. The Boxenji just walks over and hovers it. Taste? What Taste??

    My Bs have me trained to kill spiders and bugs for them….anytime I see my B going after anything, I step in and get rid of it because I'm afraid that they could get bitten somehow--and we do have black widows and brown recluse spiders in my area. My german shepherd mix loved to catch flies--and I would always try to stop her because flies are so filthy....yes--I am a bit of a hypochondriac.....but only when it comes to my babies.......

    true true, when Jack tries to catch flies and flying bus with his mouth i get so disgusted!! but i cant be there to stop him, and its OK with me for Jack to save me from the evil bugs!! lol (but i dont think we have dangerous spiders in our area, only BAD ticks!! (i LIVE close to Lyme, CT…boo)

    I am glad to know my basenji mix isn't the only one that chases flies and other flying insects. I have to admit, it is funny to watch her chase a fly around my office while I'm at work. Never a dull moment.

    I agree, bribing is good. Over the years I have developed a personal relationship with my vets and their staff. Office manager is on my facebook (rare if you know me because I have under 90 friends … mostly family, close friends and their kids and friends of my daughter. I keep it limited to provide those kids the most protection and to keep it personal). I never worry about the care my dogs get anyway, but I know the gifts I bring at Christmas to the staff and occasional treats lets them know they are appreciated.

    @Barklessdog: We got our dogs a little bed for the family room for christmas and I snapped a couple of pics of our Tri. The other dog came over and.. [image: basketcase.jpg] She heeded the warning and went away while I kept playing with him, no scuffle. A child is going to have know theses signs as well. This is how Tyler looks when he has settled in to sleep and Zoey wants to come in an "nest" before she settles. Zoey has learned to heed the warning also and doesn't disturb Ty when he's already settled.

    Yes, its not too early to get the trashcans locked up. However, you will only "forget" to p/u the items once. Laugh! The bad news is the dirty "items" can make the dog very sick. Running to the vet sick. The plastic alone is scary, what that can do to the internal workings of a b's tummy.
