Every Dog Should Be Muzzle-Trained So… I was at a dog show in California, competing in an agility trial with my black Doberman, Dancer. Someone I knew, another exhibitor, had a beautiful, red Doberman she’d rescued from a bad home where she was kept on a chain in the yard. My friend was looking for someone to adopt her. I didn’t want another dog, but I offered to take her until she found a permanent home. Uh-huh. You know how that goes! She was in my home just a few days… and I couldn’t let her go. I named her Mocha. I forget now what her original name was… but I changed it right away. She showed signs of possible abuse and I imagined they yelled her name at her… I didn’t want to remind her. Mocha suited her. She was SO GRATEFUL just to be inside my house. And in my bed…  Life in Mom's bed was waaay better than life on a chain!

"Dammit Jetta!” (Blaming dogs for things they do that we don’t like) "Dammit Jetta!!!" Oops. I made a HUGE mistake. It's a mistake I NEVER make. Shocked myself, in fact. I blamed Jetta for something she did. Blamed Jetta for something SHE did. She did it. And I blamed HER. That was wrong. I had her at the park. It was raining (Yes... in July - It's Oregon) and her feet were muddy. When leaving, I put her in the car - the backseat, which had a protective cover - and she did something she rarely - but sometimes - did. While I packed my things, she jumped over the console between the two front seats and onto my seat. Muddy paw prints on my seat!!!___________________________________________________________ Click here to read more on blaming dogs...
