    Dont let a dog kiss you on the mouth or you will get tape worms.



    Uh-Oh! Max was licking my mouth earlier. I guess I better go tell the doctor I need something for tape worms.

    I took my lab to obedience class, she wasn't the brightest pup there, stubborn girl.
    The class teacher said that when she looked at Katie she saw "happy, happy, happy;" then she told me that "my dog needed to be beat!"  I didn't go back.

    Put a hand towel covering your dog's head. If he/she removes it right away, he/she is a smart dog. If the dog lets it sit there, then the dog is stupid.
     
    Beau and Sasha are stupid [:D]

    I loved that stupid dog!  (She's been gone almost 6 years, but we have so many great memories.)  She was happy, and had the best sense of humor of any of my dogs since.  She laughed at herself alot too!  Hey! If you can't laugh at yourself...

    How about: if you have a cut or wound, let your dog lick it because it will heal faster.
     
    Some of those things I've never heard, but DUH is the first thing that came to mind.
     
    Is it true that Rotties & Pitbulls have locking jaws?  I've heard that many times.
     
    If a Doberman has a pointed head, it will turn on its owner.
     
    I think the other time we (women) get a lot of unsolicited advice is when we're pregnant.  People go out of their way to tell you stuff (and let's not even mention the touching the belly thing.)

    I know a good pregnancy one...
     
    Hold a necklace above the person's belly (pregnant person laying on their back). If it rocks, it's a boy. If it spins in circles, it's a girl.
     
    Where do people come up with things? I was pregnant with my first daughter, and the necklace rocked... Strange...
     
    Anyways, back to dogs...

    I just heard that one when I was telling someone how a visiting dog spent a lot of time licking out Roscoe's and he had the best ears he has ever had after that.  She's a very intelligent woman, so I did a google search on it just to see what else I could find.  Turns out Mythbusters did a show on it, and it showed dogs saliva had antiseptic qualities to it. Who knew? [:D]
     
    I'll still use neosporin whenever possible, though. LOL!

    How about "if you rub your puppies nose in their excrement they'll never eliminate in the house again"  My former roommate's father tried to do that when X was like 5 months old.  That went over really well.  The roommate moved out shortly after.

    Don't feed your dog raw meat, it will make them wild.

    This pertains to cats but it's equally stupid: Don't let your cat in the baby's room while the child is sleeping, he/she will smother the baby.

    All chows are biters.

     
    I've heard that one more than enough times.  Also, I don't know where they get this stuff. . ." Don't you know that after seven years chows turn on their owner?"  Why seven years specifically, nobody can ever answer.

    nope. they just have more force in their jaws and many times are unwilling to let go.[;)]

    Once I took Cookie to Petsmart a couple of months ago and she was afraid of another dog...runnning and hiding behind me or in between my legs...She was only four months at the time...The woman who owned the other dog told me that Cookie has emotional problems and was probably abused before I got her. Of course! I adopted her so she must have been abused! Moron. [:@]
