    My dog twice barked at deer out the back door. Now he walks up to the door barking every morning just in case.

    My Frenchie also remembers every place he’s found a food or seen a cat/squirrel. He checks them all daily.

    I used to make fun of my dog for doing this.

    And then I realized, when I drive by a spot where I’ve seen a hot shirtless guy, I slow down and cruise it a bit. Years and years after it happened. Subconsciously.

    My dog and I actually have a lot in common.

    My dad had a treat is his shirt pocket once that the dachshund found one time.

    Now any time she hops on someone’s lap she checks to see if there’s a hidden treat in a shirt pocket.

    If you like chilling and watching people walk by, but its gotten too repetative, pour meat grease in the bushes and watch people struggle to keep their dogs from deciding “I live here 24/7 now”

      I’m doing this to my neighbor with the “no dogs” sign. I don’t even hate her. I’m just a bored asshole.

        in the long run it will help her because people will get sick of their dogs magneting in and becoming cemented to the spot and keep their distance. The no dogs sign would also make the dogs being drawn in really suspicious.

        actually that’s kinda hilarious

    Yes, we had a magic tree on our walk where Jake once found half a hot dog, with a bun and everything. Jake never forgot.

    Obligatory Jake pic, may he RIP:

    Ah, yes. Our neighbor’s shrub is forever the shrub that might be hiding a bologna sandwich. (They had their 3 year old family member visit and he’s a little messy.)

    I dropped a hotdog off the grill one time 5 years ago. Let the dog have it. To this day she checks the spot just in case anything else has materialized.

    If you ever want to see absolute joy in it’s purest form, heat up a sausage roll in your work’s break room microwave or something (so you dog isn’t tipped off), plant the fucker under that bench on the way home, then take your dog out for a walk.
