I was waiting for that old folk tune to close out that bit.  You know the one -- My Dog Stains... and I'd say, "Come, Stains, Come Stains..."  Howard Stern used to play that song all the time.

My dog Lola, the sweet, the lovely, does "off" rather than "away."  She doesn't go into a trance like Stains but she turns her head away from the morsel in question, drools and waits for the "take it" command.  Just about her only trick.

laughter is very good for your health too I heard. not fake laugh, & yes I laugh in my sleep at times.

I would like to know your stories that ya laughed about & still do from time to time.

I can't believe I missed that convo. Because reading that post alone made me laugh like a fool.

MayRay, I'm hoping you're coming back to the fest this year! Obviously we need to hang just a tad more. :D
