Better days two

My wife and I, well my wife really does the work, breed pedigree dogs as a hobby, you certainly cannot make money out of it if you have a speck of humanity in you. We specifically breed Rhodesian Ridgebacks, which is a South African dog bred as a combine hound and general dog about town.

At the moment we have five bitches, one dog, a bitch puppy and a litter of 8 pups. You would think that was overkill but actually we have five the others are staying with us for one reason or the other.

They are such nice dogs to be around, very aloof with visitors, very very smart and occasionally very very cheeky.

The others went out for their morning walk and the you bitch was left here with me, she is to young to be running free in the woods. I was watching the news when she came up to me wagging her whole body with a plastic bag in her mouth, looking really proud.

It took me a few seconds to work it all out, one of her treats was in the bag and she could not figure out how to get to it without chewing the bag as well. So bring it to the human and let him sort the mess out. The mere fact that she had stolen the bag from somewhere she was not supposed to be had nothing to do with it. Her good looks and general puppiness would get her out of that little problem.

Who is the owner here I sometimes wonder.
