People (me) can be so stupid:
If i want to have the bathroom to myself I have to be sure and close the door completely so Doc can't push it open with his hard head. If I don't close the door he comes in and watches for a moment then leaves. I always thought this was weird until............I realized I've taken him out for years and watched him pee n poop.........so he's just doing what I've taught him to do !!!!!!!!!!!

At least he doesn’t carry a plastic bag in his mouth as he watches!

Prissy pants will always come in if she can while her daddy poops...
She gets on my feet and rolls over for a belly rub.
So much for the myth that dogs have a keen sense of smell.
She does dearly love a belly rub from daddy.

Update on Bruno's first visit to the Retirement/Rehab Center last Wednesday. We got there at 10 o'clock and the visit was supposed to last an hour. They told me I could not take pictures due to privacy and hippa regulations. Too many forms to fill out, I can understand that I guess. There was only 1 lady that was scared of Bruno. The administrator said not to worry she was dramatic. Bruno had a ball. He got so much petting I was getting worried about him going bald. lol We ended up staying until 11:30. Just before we left Bruno was tired and laid down on the floor. I was talking to one of the PT people and the administrator. I lost track of Bruno. The lady that was so scared of him, in the beginning, had pulled a chair up next to Bruno and was petting him with her foot. Then she bent down and was rubbing his side with her hand. I told the administrator to just glance over in that direction. She was stunned. I let her pet him for several minutes and then I walked over to them. I told her it was time for us to leave and she may want to move back because he will jump up and I didn't want her to get scared or get injured. Before I could tell Bruno to come, he gets up in super slow motion and lays his head on the little old lady's leg. She said he knows I was scared and I think he likes me. She teared up and walked away. I got a call that evening from the Administrator thanking me for the visit. She said everyone loved Bruno and after dinner, the little old lady asked her when her friend Bruno would be coming back. I told her we would try and come a couple of times a month. I wish I could have had a video of the visit.

Before I I left today I heard what sounded like war. I walked in to the first picture, and started pointing my finger and demanding they explain what was going on, and why they were fighting. As you can tell in the second picture, Cocoa looks more guilty 🤣

That is awesome! How rewarding.

My parents had their lab in UT's "Habit Dog" system and they would take her to a rehab/ Sr. center in Harriman (I think) every week or every other week. The dog loved it and my parents loved it as well.
