Devoted pet owner and now, devoted pet editor, Judi worked in traditional offices, keeping the books and the day-to-day operations organized. Taking her dog to work every day for over a decade never seemed odd. Neither did having an office cat. She knows what it's like to train a new puppy and she's experienced the heartache of losing beloved companions. Retired, she currently lives with her spoiled dog and four chickens (who are, interestingly enough, also spoiled).

How Dogs Learn

Dogs are creatures of habit. They learn through repetition and consistency, (doing it the same way every time). Dogs are social animals and they see you as their pack or family. They do not want to be excluded from everything that is going on with the family. A properly trained dog can be communicated with just as a human family member. It takes practice and repetition.

When training your dog always remember that dogs don’t learn sentences. They learn one word commands by tone inflections. We speak to them like they understand and they are attentive and giving you a lending ear at anytime but they do not understand every word. They are fully capable of learning thousands of one or two word commands.

Bunnies in My Flowers

Spring has finally arrived in all of it’s beauty! I love this time of the year because it seems like a new beginning. I sit out on my porch and listen to all the birds sing, squirrels romp and bunnies play.

I love to get on my hands and knees and dig in the dirt to plant vegetables but mostly to plant the flowers. I have several places that I do plant flowers and my favorite place is a wonderful flower bed built into the house by the front door. That is the place everyone coming to visit is greeted with all the flowers.
