Oh yeah, that's a trouble-maker right there. And he's working those sad puppy eyes so you can't stay mad at him, sneaky little devil!

My Peanut's the same way. They really get you with those eyes, don't they?!?

This morning Peanut ate the business card of the emergency room doctor which my saw last week! Luckily the next appointment was already made.........he ate about 4/5 of it before I caught him. LOL!

Unlike John Boy, Peanut has respect for only ONE thing........that's the water bottle.

And he's a licker, so everytime you're mad at him he curls up next to you with the eyes and gives you kisses til you smile.

Well, I called the vet office and I'm going to bring them both into basic obedience classes. Rose was a spoiled brat to begin with and I think it will help us all out. Plus, they go over a lot of dog behavior. Rose is my first dog ever and having 2 dogs is a first for both me and the hubby.

The obedience work will be good for them. I like the Petsmart classes I've taken my dogs to, but any classes which teach YOU to handle them. Better than those dog trainers you pay an arm and a leg to and leave your dogs for training. It's especially good to have classes which have many other dogs in them and helps them learn to listen to you amidst the distractions of other dogs.
