Well played, Dog. Well played.

Ha!

1. Does that translate to, "Fuck you! Ain't I cute anyway!"

[blm]

2. Hahah.....that's a too familiar sight.

My dog did the same when he was young. Now I have a young kitten we rescued who jumps up and pulls down whatever he can. Even the dog stays away from this tuxedoed lunatic.

Great day to be outdoors in the Carolinas, though, eh?

4. It is now.

This morning, not so much. The weekend will be in the 60's with no rain.

3. Lesson not learned. Bad behavior reinforced.

It's cute and all, but putting the dog outside when he's bad is just asking for trouble later. Dogs like going outside.

5. Maybe that's was the messsage he was sending you

"Hey, I want to go stand on the outside table!!!"

[TeamPooka]

22. lol

6. Very familiar! Took our dog all of 3 days to train us!

11. BNL's remark about my one year old: 'Got you trained already!'

21. Well my cat...

(Sorry to inject a cat in this doggie thread but I can't resist). I tried for all of a week to get him from jumping up on the kitchen counter. I even tried a spray bottle but he's a Bengal and they like water. Nowdays I just pick the cat hair out of my food. Sigh, trained indeed.

24. Years ago, our cat had it mind that our bed was hers whenever we wasn't in it.

My wife saw her one day and turned on the electric blanket on high.

We watched as it heated up and the cat would lay for a couple minutes then get up in discomfort and move to a different spot. This continued for about an hour, then the cat finally jumped from the bed in obvious disgust. Later, we discovered her new place of comfort, the curtains in the family room. The damned cat would jump on a chair, then to the curtains and climb to the top. It looked like a cheetah hanging over a limb like we would see on the "Nature channel."

30. That is so awesome

I can just picture it

[MoonRiver]

25. I love Bengals!

I would like to have one but hubby thinks they are too wild. We've gone through 15 years of being completely dominated by a Yorkie and I think he wants a totally laid back pet next time.

27. Have you tried a deeply affectionate, near-suffocating hug every time your cat does it?

During which you repeat: "Who wuvs you? Who wuvs you sooooooo much?"

I find it causes cats to take up other hobbies.

[Ratty]

29. Hah! That worked with the last cat

Who did not particularly care for being cradled like a baby. Unfortunately there's nothing this one loves more than near-suffocating hugs and cradles.

7. My Effie even peed on the picnic table when she thought

It was too wet out for her delicate self.

8. Defiance

[awoke_in_2003]

23. I have always loved that poster. nt

[TheOther95Percent]

9. Yes, that about sums it up.

He's training you to accept that he must sometimes come to rest on the table top.

[Solly Mack]

10. Teehee

[Mosby]

12. How do you like me now!

Lol.

[Tien1985]

13. Defiance, you're doing it right!

Cute when you are 15lbs of canine fluff.

Not cute when you're an 18 yr old, sarcastic Xanax addict.

[SCVDem]

14. That is a fast look, laugh!

You lookin' at me?

[ProSense]

15. .

[mrdmk]

16. Yep, Doggie Humor!

[BainsBane]

17. He's saying: I'm really a cat on the inside!

[thesquanderer]

18. Some dogs just like to get high. (n/t)

[txwhitedove]

19. Ha. My Husky's favorite spot is on the patio table where he can survey his yard and look into

the living room window to monitor his family. That's 80-lbs of dog on top of the table. He loves it outside but definitely understands when he's been banished outside as time out for bad behaviour.

[geckosfeet]

20. That's about right.

[NoGOPZone]

26. Funny. Another dog that won't be denied. nt

[Kalidurga]

28. Well now that is proof right there.

Dogs are a lot smarter than most people think they are.
