This year we became the proud owners of a puppy named Ollie. Fortunately he is yet to destroy anything around the house.
Something that I always find really interesting about dogs is their ability to feel shame. When Ollie is naughty, he knows it. When he has done “something” in a spot he shouldn’t, he knows he is in trouble.
