Ada's favorite person. Actually, the only person she likes at all.... Steve is her favorite person by default!

Because I am smart and forgot to put it in the OP, ALL PICTURES MUST BE TAKEN THIS WEEK. FEB 26 - MARCH 4, 2011.

If a mod wants to add that in the first post, awesome.. if not, then it is here LOL

Aww... Ada! I would be her favorite if she knew me...

I need to figure out how to capture Fozzie with his laser. This fool is obsessed with it, even though I never let him chase it because he screams like a banshee! He still knows exactly where it is on the counter and his tail wags insanely if I even pause at that spot for a second.

Are you talking about a laser pointer?? You probably know this, but those can cause severe psychological problems in dogs.

Ok, took this tonight

This is the picture I'd like to submit



But this for reference, is the toy. It's a pterodactyl, but we call it her "birdie".

They don't "cause" it but they can make a dog obsessed with lights.

I play with a laser with Gavroche too and he's not some psychotic beast that will murder me in my sleep and steal my flashlight. It's definitely his FAVORITE thing. Or a flashlight. Or a cell phone. But he doesn't sit and obsess over things all day. When the game's over the game's over. It's all about moderation.

Eventually I will train Logan laser retrieves. He's not going to flip out on me because I take out a laser pointer.

They can make a dog obsessed with lights, but they can also cause other OCD issues, increased anxiety, panic attacks, and I believe "hallucinations" (but I'm not positive on that, and don't know much about hallucinations in dogs).

If you know your dog and know they can handle a laser/light game fine, that's all well and good...but if a dog is "screaming like a banshee" when they see a laser and gets excited as soon as they think their owner might be picking up the laser, it's definitely potentially damaging to continue using one with a dog like that,
