Silly Shadow Paws cannot get it through her head that her intended profession was farm dog extraordinaire. She wants Charlie and Wyatt to watch hunting shows with her, and proves to them on commercials what a good fetch dog she is.
But that is only for the commercials. When her hunting dog training shows are on- no body had better mess with that remote! (She will go paw them and cry until they put her show back on.) Spoiled, maybe??? Definitely!
In fact, Shadow has Charlie so charmed with this behavior that he doesn't even get mad when she puts her paws on the TV stand to study closely. I am not a big fan of TV, to be true, but some days the kids will turn these shows on for her so they can study and type at the computer for papers without a toy being forcefully shoved in their lap, then they can play with her when the schoolwork is done or take her for a run.
Those of you who have heard about Shadow's competition exploits of wanting to play instead of show in obedience and showmanship know that Shadow Paws has a lot more obedience work to do before she can do hunting retriever training, but she feels quite determined that she has found her calling!
