She does indeed know how to make her wishes known. She only began her "tree" act a few months ago (I call it her donkey pose) as her arthritis progressed and she could no longer keep up comfortably to a quick pace. She soon figured out how to train me to slow down! As for sleeping arrangements, she has always preferred to sleep on the floor right beside me. Our compromise at home has been to place her bed just out of the way of my own route to the bathroom. Thank you for accommodating her wishes. She's not very demanding but there are a few things she's quite adamant about! <br /><br />Deb S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-66889585419285751142012-12-08T08:03:07.112-08:002012-12-08T08:03:07.112-08:00Ha ha Dawn - Riley is a very sweet, gentle old sou...Ha ha Dawn - Riley is a very sweet, gentle old soul. Like many collies and shelties, however, she is a Princess - she presents herself with a quiet graciousness and independence that carries authority.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-64968691639507222522012-12-08T07:41:06.454-08:002012-12-08T07:41:06.454-08:00Riley is a great dog, I am sure.

They might call her stubborn, annoying, even impossible.<br /><br />But you take the time to understand her and accept her for who she is. That makes you a very special person, Jean.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04922605415055868988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-72739479871002167922012-12-07T22:18:52.027-08:002012-12-07T22:18:52.027-08:00Cute...!!

He taught me to heel.<br />He was so smart & cute and creative with his games i.e.<br />"what can I get her to do for me next"..... who could resist!<br />Wendy<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-68255068957647939702012-12-07T13:10:33.014-08:002012-12-07T13:10:33.014-08:00I like this dog!
