Scratch a dog and you’ll find a permanent job.\u00a0 ~Franklin P. Jones<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

IT is as if the author of the above quote has meet Riddick!\u00a0\u00a0 I have quickly noticed that non dog lovers find him very tiresome.\u00a0 This boy will stick to you like glue, rub up against you and paw your lap if you have made even the slightest move to give him a scratch.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
He adores a good rub down and so is very patient with bath time.\u00a0 He has even fallen over in the tub because he leans into my hand as I am scratching and rubbing him clean.\u00a0 <\/span>

It took no time at all for the kids to find his ‘sweet spot’.\u00a0 Auntie Karla (a long time dog owner) filled us in on the fact that most dogs have a ‘spot’ that brings them great joy when you find and give it a good scratch.\u00a0 A little to the side, just under his collar, closer to his back and voila you have a happy little man that will turn his head to the side, lean in toward you and thump, yes thump.\u00a0 He looks just like Thumper from the Bambi film when you find and scratch his ‘spot’ just right.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

So if you don’t like dogs much beware, he will wear out his welcome and has little sense of personal space.\u00a0 He will let you rub and pat and scratch till your arm falls off.\u00a0 Don’t TOUCH him if you can’t love him:)\u00a0 AND that leads right into my next quote:<\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.\u00a0 ~Corey Ford<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
