Which cartoons did you like?
We are having a very rainy day with heavy thunderstorms. Our mini-Australian Shepherd Rollo is not having a good day. How is your day?
This blog feature amusing and heartwarming stories about our late Leonberger dog Bronco, as well as other Leonbergers. It also has a lot of information about the Leonberger breed, the history, care, training, Leonberger organizations, etc. I also wrote a Leonberger book, which I am featuring in the sidebar.

These are all very funny. My dogs hate going out in the rain as well.

Thank you Darlene. I tried taking Rollo out. He peed once but then we had to turn back after about 50 yards. He refused to go any further because he heard thunder.

definitely the 5 second rule one. with a lab mix who once lived on the streets, we never need to pick anything up (as long as it’s safe). thank goodness she has learned to wait for permission (most of the time)

Yes you are right Alex. I think they are all funny. I think the first one matches our Rollo pretty well though. He did so well in obedience school. I think he was best in class, but at home it didn’t work so well.

Yes I agree, the cake frosting one is great. We’ve had thunderstorms all day. Yours seems to have started earlier. Perhaps it is the same storm moving east. We still have some thunder but it is calming down. But the rain will allegedly continue all night.

I am not sure about smarter, but I’ve been played by dogs. Like when our little Japanese Shin Ryu started ignoring our “come” command and to get him to come back we started giving him a treat when we called “come” and he was in the backyard. Guess who started going outside to the backyard a lot more often. They can trick you.

Haha, I don’t have too much experience training dogs. My daughter tried to toilet train the cats. I don’t know if that’s a new way for having cats. Anyway, it wasn’t successful. 😂

That dog was probably toilet trained to go inside like you said, but never going for a walk does not sound healthy, unless he was playing ball with him a lot. Well even so he must have had very limited sniffing experience.

LOL it is not easy. Bronco was relatively easy to potty train. He was done at 4 months, but then he had period later on when he decided to go back on it. I saw some people on TV who had a raccoon for a pet and they toilet trained him successfully. He became so attached to the house that he refused to go outside. Imagine a wild animal refusing to set foot outside.

Wow, toilet trained a raccoon with success! That’s incredible. 😍 Bronco did well also. My old neighbor had a dog and they never took him for a walk or even let him go to the backyard. He must be toilet trained.

That’s interesting information about Snoopy and Woodstock and the videos are fun. BTW did you notice that two of the videos have been blocked since you posted. That’s the risk with hot linking, but I’ve done the same. I am not as familiar with Snoopy as most Americans because I grew up in Sweden where other cartoons were more common when I was a kid. Anyway, thank you for pointing me to your fun blog post.

Oh, in this movie, John Cusack played a hitman, and one of the subplots was that a hitman associate of his was trying to start a hitman union. John Cusack’s character did not want to join the union because he didn’t want to have to attend meetings … 😁
