I hate scolding my dogs!

[Padraig18]

Fortunately, I very seldom have to do it, because they are both quite well-behaved; however, on those rare occasions when I do scold one or the other, they are instantly so contrite and get that "Oh my Lord and Master, I am sooooooooo sorry for doing whatever I did--- please tell me that you still love me" look, that I almost feel like a monster.

*sigh*

1. what did they do

to get you angry at them?

2. Brody scarfed a biscuit off of the table w/o permission.

I went to get some OJ, and while my back was turned, he helped himself to a biscuit. Not exactly a life-or-death issue, but definitely crossing over the line of what's acceptable behavior.

:shrug:

4. aww.. he was just hungry

thought he would serve himself breakfast.. poor little pooch. No, he shouldn't have done it, but you broke his little heart.

6. I patted his head about 15 seconds later.

I didn't want him to think I was gonna be mad at him forever over a lousy biscuit, of course.

3. Get a cat to provide balance

they're never sorry for anything.

5. We have one.

You're right. He always looks vaguely offended whenever I raise my voice to him.

:P

7. You can say that again.

They have eyes that say, "How dare you lowly human raise your voice at me and assume authority over my behavior!"

8. Actually you're lucky.

My dogs look at each other with a "yeah, he's yelling now, but in a few minutes he'll give us a cookie and say he's sorry" look. :-)

9. They have the very good grace to act contrite immediately.

They're actually VERY good boys, 99.44/100ths % of the time.
