Great question! Velvet is a very affectionate dog. She's asleep at my feet right now. She shares my big chair and ottoman with me when I'm writing on my laptop or watching a movie. She also staked out a quarter of my bed as her space. I wouldn't want it any other way.

Affection is very important with a service dog, just as important as discipline. I treat Velvet like a member of the family, with all the love a regular pet would get, but she still has responsibilities and obedience. We train each day, which is just playing with treats for rewards, as far as she is concerned.


Thanks!   :cheersmate:

Ours get treats when they come in from the porch when they are called.... it works.  :tongue:!

Oreo does come to me when I call her, usually.  She likes being petted, scratched, etc.  She knows I'm this:

It's red eye photo syndrome. It doesn't exist outside of photos. I will admit that he is a strange cat. This is our first pure breed cat. He will only eat one specific type of dry cat food. It's not an expensive type but it must be a specific brand. He will not dring milk or eat cheese, meat, fish, etc. He will sniff at it and that is it. He likes to drink water while it trickles out of the bathtub faucet. I need to figure out how to post that video.

He does that with my wife and my son but not me. He just uses me for food and attention. He also likes to sit in the tub at 2am and beg for the faucet to be turned on. It's not cute when that happens. :hammer:

My cat used to find the weirdest places to hide in my apartment,  I've moved, so his options are a little more restricted now.

He chases after me and bats at my heels if I try to leave.
