Oh Hon....that's why God made dogs. They make all of us better people!

It was a great show, no Yorkies though!

Pam

That was a great show! Oomg that dog that could count! That was amazing! lol as my dog was laying down eating a bullystick lol As soon as I saw that I hit record so my bf could watch it. I was glad to see a puppy mill update! I think it's so great that puppy mills have closed since her last show! AND adoption rate have gone UP!!!! That is just so great! Can you believe those brothers in Penn tho?! For those who didn't get to watch it, 2 brothers were told by the state to bring 37 dogs to the vets for flea bite treatment. Instead of bringing them and spending the money, they just got a gun and killed 80 dogs. I heard that and was almost sick. My eyes started to water. Can you believe how careless and horrible some people are. The worst part is, if it could get any worse, the guys didn't get in trouble at all! They admitted to it and everything and nothing was done to him. How can, in America, people just carelessly kill some many animals because they're so selfish and cheap and not get in any kind of trouble for it?!?!?! For those members in Penn, you should go to Oprah's website and print out the letter she has to send to your sentators. Those laws HAVE to change! Something has to be done. Please go print it out or write your own letter and send if your government.

Sily and Everyone

Here is a link to the "do something" page from Oprah. com. My suggestion would be that since she is so powerful and can reach so many and has so much influence, the best way for us to be effective is go along with her plan.

So here is the link

Urge Your Legislators to Stop Puppy Mills


On the lighter side, I am incensed that there were no yorkies represented yesterday.

Do any of you remember the board member whose dog could do the Achoo trick??? That would have been good enough for me.

However, seriously, I was blown away by the doggies, ESPECIALLY the counting one....what a doll.

Amazing Show
 

I loved loved the dancing dog she was amazing i couldnt stop laughing it was so funny seeing her go backwards! :eek:

Loved the dog that counts he was amazing and had such a sweet face, the way he kept turning his head when his owner would say the park or oprah it was so amazing. Animals are such amazing creatures!!!!:D

Although no Yorkies it was a great show, i learned so much from it especially that man that killed all those poor dogs so horrofying poor dogs may their souls rest in peace knowing they are in a better place right now.

When I saw the Yorkies in cages , I remembered the ones that the Rescue Team recently brought to the Animal Hospital .

Oh I missed it! Hubby changed the programming on the satellite and they screwed up the programming!:mad: That sounds horrible about those brothers who did that to the dogs. I did see a preview of show and I thought I saw yorkies in the cages. I wish they could get all the mills but I am sure that there are just so many and it will take a very long time. But if they are able to close one down, it is one more!

It was a great show. That Jack Russel was adorable and I love how sweet and so focused! It was horrible to see all those dogs caged up, I cant believe ANY "human" could be so cruel! I was a bit taken back by a couple breeders that were upset the puppymill show. If you dont want someone to make light of all the puppymills because you are afraid people will think ALL breeders are like that, then that is pure selfishness. These people only care about their sales going down and their pockets.

I missed it!

I saw the previews for the show and put a reminder on my tv for when I come home from work. But low and behold the only day I was ever granted to work overtime had to be the day I was set to have a date with Oprah, Deegan & the tv!!! Darn it!

I missed it but you can bet there was a cue even a little move can do it for counting. Even a hold of a breath. there is a story a true one about a horse that could add.. it took a while to catch it but there was a cue.

Clicker dogs learn well how to use that brain.
As for the mill stuff keeping the pressure on is a good thing and I hope that the current bills being put forward get in acted.

Even if it was cued that was a pretty good trick. She still had to teach her all of the numbers. I bet I could teach Loki that. Maybe I'll try :)

Erin have you seen the dog on Pushing Daisy the show.. clicker and they had a show totally on operant conditioning humans.
Hum... Bob Bailey's CD... think that is where the horse is... working the next 24 hours straight and then not sure... will have to track that and see if I can find the cue used that might help you when you start training.

Let me know when you start working on this I loved to hear how it goes.
