- Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

So pretty---too bad they grow so fast. I miss that baby stage.(But only in pups and foals)

Re: Xena 3 months old
Very cute!
Re: sitting in the dishwasher pic - I have pics of mine doing stuff they aren't allowed to do too; they can look so cute that snapping a pic is irresistible! BTW, you probably know already, but dishwasher soap is very toxic for doggies.

I'm glad she got to dry off after swimming in the pond, NOT a cycle in the dishwasher

Re: Xena 3 months old
I saw it on a list of household dangers for dogs, and looking at my box of dishwasher soap, it has a big caution notice saying "Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Contains sodium carbonate, sodium silicate and enzymes - if swallowed give a glassful of water and call Poison Control or Dr immediately. Do not induce vomiting".dutchringdog wrote:OMG I didnt know !!!!!! Not that i feed it to them, what is in it that is toxic??Sugars Mom wrote:Very cute!

Re: Xena 3 months old
What is it about open dishwashers that so intrigues young dogs? Mine have always wanted to 'help' when I am loading dishes, usually trying to sneak a lick or two off a pan.
Love the pictures of Xena, the wild child!! I too have a Zena, the GSD who killed 2 doz of my chickens and ducks recently. At her old age, she is STILL a wild child!
Thank you for sharing the photos.

Re: Xena 3 months old
Thanks, everyone! We are enjoying her. Also thanks for the tip about the dish soap! I will be extra careful.
Here's hoping my Xena won't eat my chickens.... SOMEDAY.

Re: Xena 3 months old
Oh my! That's a totally adorable pup! 
I have one that steals the siverware out of there, for a prewash cycle.
And one who was allowed to do the dishwasher sit as a pup, when she was still living with her breeder. Now, at , 1 year old, she is huge (we call her chocolate moose) and she does not understand my panic when she starts to put her front feet on the open door. (she would no doubt crush the thing)

"A lick or two?

I keep thinking that there is some kind of helpful training in there somewhere...... The fact that she can put ANYTHING in the dishwasher without being told (even if it is just herself) means that she is more trainable than my kids.....

Re: Xena 3 months old
All of my bassets growing up did prewash, and one did flip the dishwasher out of the counter, the top was a wood cutting board so it really just sat there, no one really figured that a Bassett would do that.

Re: Xena 3 months old
I have one of those pre-wash devices too, it also cleans any spilled liquids on the floor, and left over cookies from the table, and so far, it has proven to be the only tool to actually get that grill all clean again

Re: Xena 3 months old
I have two at my house as well, they are better than the static mops because they pick up AND clean. One goes through and the other checks for missed pieces, I dont need to plug them in or put batteries on them, they can be noisy at times though.Marjolein wrote:I have one of those pre-wash devices too, it also cleans any spilled liquids on the floor, and left over cookies from the table, and so far, it has proven to be the only tool to actually get that grill all clean againWe call it the "Ivil"
