Being trained by your dog

I realized last night as Venus got me up at 1 and again at 5 that I'm trained - she leaves the bed and heads downstairs to scratch on my Mother-In-Laws door to let me know she needs to go out.  She doesn't scratch on the door that lets her out, but my Mother-In-Laws as she knows that will get a quicker response from me. 

Venus my reluctant model

I have this business, cloescollars.com and decided to get Venus my weimaraner to pose for a picture with her new collar and it was quite an adventure.  1st I had to follow her around with the collar to put it on her, it's something different and new and she doesn't do different and new, then I tried to get her set up with a great backround, but she kept hiding, lowering her had and generally getting me to laugh at her antics.  I finally got a picture but she is not a perfect model.  But I love her anyway.
