My question is, does your dogs come to keep you company while your on the throne? Our Yellow lab barges though the door and sits down right in front of you and leans against you. Wife says he does it too. Not sure where he learned it from . As we clealy don't go out and sit next him while he does his business.

@benhasajeep uhhh, noooo, but then again I generally close the door, as there are still some times you just need a little privacy

We have learned not to latch the door. If we do, there will be a thud on the door! I don't want vet bills! No worries about privacy in our house. For the most part we have his and hers bathrooms.

We have the lever style handles on the doors. Our first Britt quickly learned how to open doors, including exterior doors so we got in the habit of not only closing but locking doors. She never learned how to turn the tab in the handle - thankfully

He has learned to not bull his way through the entry door if it's closed. But he will bull through if the door is adjar some.

@benhasajeep Millie, could stand/walk on her hind legs for extended periods. Her front paws were like hands (without thumbs), she could spread, extend and curl her toes and claws. She could push down on the lever a pull or push the door open all while remaking upright.

Gary’s first Wheaten, Cookie, the greatest dog in the world by any meaningful measurement, during her golden years, made the guest bathroom her office. She was very trusting and expected others to step around her. When she was in her office the rules didn’t change. She wouldn’t move a muscle when another occupied her office. She might lift her head and take a look at who’s on the throne ... but you had to accommodate her when she was in her office.

Cook and Gary would stroll hand in paw around the neighborhood.

Cook would never bull her way through any door. Even if the door was ajar, she’d never widen/push/nudge the door wide enough for her to slip through. Miss Maggie hasn’t learned such good manners and will nudge a door open.

I just bought something from LL Bean and I don't remember seeing those cookies! Did you put in an early request for polar bear cookies from Santa this year or what?

Currently the $20 I put aside is doing something else. Maybe someday I'll get a DSLR. But I ain't about to bet on it.
And now gotta rush to get to work

Step father had Jason the Wonder Dog. He attended UofM with my step father. I don't know if it was every class. But he said he took the dog everywhere with him. And he would just lay quietly under the table by his feet during class. That was his favorite dog. Nothing since compares to him!

This is at the store in Freeport. We got a catalog last week but I don’t recall seeing them.

Gary was reading some studies on pooches ... we all know that dogs smell a million times better than humans. Our low sensitive smelling capabilities is used mainly to distinguish eatable food from rotten food ... that smells good, yummy ... or ... that smells bad, yecch. So we use smells merely to distinguish good from bad. Not so with dogs. They sense the world through their noses ... the world isn't comprised merely of good and bad ... black and white. Dogs senses odors like we sense colors ... we are not offended by color as we are by odors. So when a dog is in the bathroom while one is taking care of some personal hygiene ... they're not offended by the smells. It's more like "That an odd shade of blue" ... or ... "Wow, yellow-green, interesting." The exception being JC, I can't imagine any of God's creatures that wouldn't be offended with his odorous attacks.
