SIX WORDS FOR GOOD DOG, BAD DOG

Discipline and training make the difference.

CRICKET THE GOOD DOG, ZOEY THE NOT-SO-GOOD

This is Cricket. He is a wonderful dog, very well trained, friendly, and never leaves the yard unless with his owner, He sat on my lap, yesterday, to be pampered.
And this is Cricket and Zoey. Zoey is a four-month-old puppy and very untrained, undisciplined and doesn't seem to be bonding with her owner, who is an older lady who has lost her husband and really needs a friend. Zoey is not a friend, she is an escape artist, intent only on her own agenda.
Zoey was put into a pen so we could see how quickly she escapes, which was so fast I only got one picture. She climbs up the wire until she is over the top and out.

Cricket is very perplexed. Why would anyone want to cage the puppy? Because the puppy is annoying, that's why. Everyone knows it but the owner, who wants to see the best in her fluffy mop-dog.

And that is like parents too. We want to see the best in our kids and so we only see the good things. Our parents did the same and then we stepped up to the mark and became better people. But, when we were little there was much training and teaching. The same for our kids. But Zoey is not getting any training or discipline. I don't see her becoming a good doggie anytime soon. I hope I am wrong. Her owner deserves better.
