This is absolutely terrific….now a new thing for dogs to be able to do
for handicapped people…I love this story, its wonderful.

Not only can husbands learn from this beautiful dog, but a lot of
teenagers could also learn a thing or two….
I just pray that now the animals won’t be abused in this and they are
allowed to do it because they want to and because they enjoy doing
it so much….

ROTF at Mitten’s comments.

Oh, for my hubby to know he’s worse at laundry than a dog.

Speaking as a long-time Saint Bernard person, you’re going to have drool on your clothes 5 minutes after putting them on anyway, so if it gets there a little sooner, so what?? :) Kidding aside, not all the droolers drool equally - it depends on how droopy their lower lips are. The more the lower lips hang open, the more they drool. Judging from Connie’s pictures, she’s probably not a real heavy drooler.

We have been dog-sitting a one year old border collie mutt from the pound. I take him on my 3-4 mile run every other day. He becomes tired for at the end of the run. As soon as we get home and he has some water, then he’s ready for more play time while I still try to recover!

it’s a wonderful story.. but I have to say the image of a heavy-drooling breed like a Newf handling clean laundry just seems a little.. um.. contradictory?

Mittens I so agree with you. Even humans get out of sorts when they are idle. For example, grumpy husbands who don’t do anything but watch TV while they are at home!

i wonder if she would consider training other people’s husbands to to these things too….

most dog breeds seem to thrive on service- having something to do. when breeds like boarder collies have unchecked aggression slip out it’s probably because that energy would have been used up in actual sheep herding.humans also tend to go astray when they’re idle. a bored and uninvolved mind can be a destructive thing- the devil’s playground.

i am an out and out cat person but i really find dogs can be quite amazing.

Loved this story. It sounds as though Connie was taught a lot but also used her own initiative and creativity as well. So interesting!

Dogs and cats,……..really understand more than people know. If treated right they bloom, and we get to see what amazing creatures they really are. Far more than just companions. Thinking, feeling and loving creature,with none of the “vices” people have. They amaze me every day.I work with animals as a profession.The reasoning displayed by animals, way beyond most peoples abilty to understand them. Great work Connie !
