My dog knows how to negotiate.

I had Chinese takeout last night and I am eating the leftovers for lunch, including the steamed dumplings (potstickers) which I love. I gave one to my dog Ollie and he snarfed it up. After he finished it he came over to me and stared at me while I was eating, but no luck. So he brought me a rawhide strip and dropped it at my feet.

I split the last dumpling with him.

1. Was the rawhide hard to chew?

:rofl:

That's adorable, though. Doggie thought processes are amazing, when we get the rare peek in between bouts of 'nad-licking.

2. I wouldn't give up a potsticker for just anything!

"good boy!" When you split it with him ;)

5. Yus!

Lol, Ive been dying to adopt a doggie for a while now, but my wife and I are gone about every other weekend and a few weeks straight in summer. :(

I have no kids and hers are long gone.. I need someone to spoil and well, you know. Just be a good daddy to. :)

6. oh, its fun

My last dog died in July at almost 16. I found Ollie on petfinder and I've had him for 2 months- he's about 6 or 7 months. Its a lot of work but its worth it. If you can find neighbors to trade dog care with thats even better.
