Is my mut dyslexic?

[Winkle]

Why I say this is because when I say to him "walkies" he just stands there and looks at me funnily. I am not going to go into detail about "Montys" park explotives as I covered this on a thread last year, but generally he is either a bit thick or he does not like walking over the park any more. He is ok with the word dinner or sit and is really quite obedient in otherways. Do you think he could be a reincarnation of "larry Grayson" a bit like the book "fluke" I read in my youth when somone comes back as a dog but remembers there former life?
His ears do prick whan I say "shut that door" and if there is a game show on telly he is the first to watch. Or perhaps maybe going over the park brings back some overriding memory that he does not want to face upto?
Thoughts please!

My dog spent approximately 25% of her life running into our patio doors thinking they were open...

Sorry, cats are nomadic feelines with no ounce of personality or affection what so ever. They crap in other peoples gardens and most cat owners dont give a toss about them once they have got out the kitteny stage.

Oy! My cat has plenty of personality...She may crap in next door garden, but the wrinkled old harridan deserves it, and I certainly give a huge toss about her, I flipping love her, and no evil ex-girlfriend is going to whisk her away from me.....:punch:

All dogs love game shows and according to my two dogs nothing beats a bit of Bruce Forsyth or Jim Bowen.
The exception to the rule is who wants to be a millionaire and weakest link which neither of them can stand.
Why don't you employ a few catchphrases when talking to Monty?
Examples being after he has fetched your slippers tell him he he ''gets nothing for a pair, not in this game''...or in a Brucey style voice after a walk say... '' good walk, good walk...but not as good as the one we had last week''.
One final word of advice don't ever let your dog watch Takeshi's castle.

Easy fella, just my personal oppinion that is. Cats are independent, I mean they dont fetch anything except for the odd baby chick that they bring to your back door half chewed up but still alive. Dogs are top of of the tree(even those in touch with there feminine side) loyal, trustworthy, obedient with the only down side being the half hundred weight of cr@p that explodes from there @rse every day.... I mean them bags are just not big enough!

I'm just an animal lover Winkle, cats or dogs. However can't have a dog 'cos I'm (supposedly) at work all day.

I get where you are coming from, something like when he brings both my slippers to me "you dont get nothing for a pair not in this game" or when he is watching football and orient are playing, I say " Do I not like that ". Maybe When I take him over the park and just as he is about to get bashed up the whiskas " in onnnnnnnnnnnne, bullies star prize is...".

When he gets taken up the rear do a Michael Barrymore and shout ''awright at the back''...then at the dog shagging monty ''what is a hot spot not...not a good spot''.
Montys sexual aggressor will then beat a hasty retreat as he will believe he is about to be drowned in a bizzare swimming pool accident.

My sister has 4 Burmese cats, 2 brothers both of which had problems as tiny kittens and therefore were no good to the breeder (they're affectionately known as "cut" and "shut" because one has ataxia meaning his head wobbles from side to side, and the other had a seizure after his injections resulting in a back end wobble!), and 2 younger sisters. The two girls both fetch and carry their toys, in fact one of them will pick up her favourite toy and bring it over to you and drop it in front of you until you throw it for her! Bags of personality and lovely characters - you get good and bad in all types, animal and human!

They were runts then? Pleeeeeese, no end of argument would make me believe tha cats are soapy luvvy duvvy creatures about to flower in a charistonou of light........ they are wild animals and should never have been domesticated. The bigger ones tackle wilderbeasts for crikes sake and have even been nown too attack elephants. Its all a plot to gain your confidence before they wake like russian sleeping agents on a killing spree, I mean what about the poor chicks and mice they slaughter without a wim, thats who I feel sorry for.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Yes, the boys were runts and my sister was happy to take them, she still had to be vetted by the breeder first to make sure she was a suitable owner. All 4 are indoor cats so they've never killed anything ever - not saying I agree with that, but probably in their best interests, especially as she lives backing on to Canvey lake.
