Bruiser, my 11 month old cattle dog, runs to his bed in the bedroom as soon as we turn the tv off at night, waits for me to get out of the shower to lick my legs "clean," steals avocado skins out of the trash (boy does he love avocado), trims patches of tall grass on walks by eating it, and his favorite sleeping position is on his back with all four feet in the air. Oh, and using a spray bottle as a punishment-by-distracting-him-out-of-a-behavior method has failed catastrophically since he loves drinking the water out of the bottle. Now it is just a game.
