Today some dude on Facebook told me to never play tug with my dog because he's just sizing up how weak and uncoordinated I am so he can be the alpha and like

Do these people even like dogs? Don't let them play tug with you. Don't throw balls for them. Don't pet them. Don't give them treats, don't let them sleep with you, don't let them sniff things on walks, don't let them chew (no, not even bones or toys).

When they do anything that remotely resembles being a dog, slap an e-collar on them. Digging in the yard? E-collar. Dog reactive? E-collar. Stealing food? E-collar. 9-week-old puppy is mouthing you? E-collar.

This chode claimed to have been a professional trainer for 25 years and in all that time he never learned how to enjoy having a dog.

Found the perfect spot to catch the sun. She's just so pretty.

Her ball is a bit too big for her mouth, but she'll grow into it.

She loves to play wrestle.

Wonderful day on our walk today. Saw some crows, they're always about but it's still nice to see them playing in the updrafts by the cliffs. Finally got a shot of the ocean with Lucy in it!

She's my little cuddle bug.

I was working on my writing and she curled up against me and fell asleep. Naturally, I was trapped there for the next three hours until she woke up.

I've been calling her my moldy little couch potato but we both know the only couch potato between us is me.

Lucy has discovered her favorite hobby, helping Dad in the garden.

He's just the most handsome dog in the world.

Can't get over the pants Teddy got at the groomers. Look at his little pantaloons!

Exhibits A and B of why it's easy to get a picture of Teddy and difficult to get a picture of Lucy

Teddy bear got a bath and a trim and now he's a handsome old man again!
