As with any child; spend the time to teach them up front, and they will return the favor ten fold during the rest of their lives. Only in the dogs case they'll repay you by being loyal, obedient, and willing to die for you at an instant's notice. (Unlike a child). . .

I have always found dogs to be worth every bit of the work it takes to teach them. They will always be happy to see you, they will always love you, and no matter how badly life beats you on a given day they will make it all go away with just one kiss, one wag of their tail, or one look from their completely trusting eyes.

They repay you with complete love and trust. There is no better reward for any job, and the return is much better than most.
Me too.   :yes:

Yep, they give way more than they expect in return.   :yes:
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

It is part of the reason it hurts so badly when they leave us for the other side.  :'(

LOL, for real.  I just went in my kitchen and got a blow dry!  LOL   I reckon I need to find something to cover that window.

Get either The Art Of Raising A Puppy or How To Be Your Dog's Best Friend from the Monks of The New Skete and read it...twice.  Once you understand why they do what they do, you will be better prepared to channel their energies in a more positive direction.

Normally I do too.....this is one of the things Scott chose NOT to fix and for 10 years it had been completely covered with some kind of outdoor insulation on the outside, and plastic on the inside.  I was tired of a dark kitchen so I had the boys (17's boyfriend and his cousin) take all the insulation off the back of the house so I could have some natural light in there again.   There is only part of the sliding window there, and I had a piece of peg board up on the side where there is no glass so it was covered while air still came in.  But the freaking wind blew out the peg board this morning.  GRRRR

Now I'm afraid to go out and see what treasures of the neighbors have gotten caught up in my fenced in back yard. <rolleyes>
