You Can Teach An Old Dog New Tricks

by Brenda J. Christie




This one is easy.

I forgot to change the water bowls today.

Jakk didn't forget and made it a point to register his dissatisfaction.

Jakk sat in the bowl - the largest one.  Note:  Sitting in the bowl is different from falling in the bowl -  it is an intentional act.

Then I changed the water in the water bowl.

You can teach an old dog new tricks!

Bye for now,

Want to Know How That Puddle Got There?

by Brenda J. Christie


As I've mentioned in earlier posts, Jakk has dementia.  Getting stuck in corners and not knowing how to get out, how he got there, or where he is, is normal daily behavior for Jakk.  In fact, it seems like he looks for places to get lost.  If I haven't mentioned it previously, I'll make sure to write about it sometime in the near future.

But, being the terror he can be, Jakk has to change it up sometime.  His most recent antic is to fall into a water bowl and then track his wet paw prints all over the house.  Want to know how he does it?  See below.
