At least an hour or so (more like two) is spent taking care of my dogs. They are with me day and night and sometimes they act up. Buddy is the temperamental one; before I give him a bath, I always have to walk him first- or he pees on the rug in retaliation. If I ignore him for an extended time period- he WILL find the biggest piece of paper possible and then chew it into a thousand pieces. Pal is more stable, but if he should happen to sleep in another part of the house, I can be sure that he will come into my bedroom about 6:45 am and begin to bark softly, then louder, then the loudest he can- until I get up!!! And as for giving him a bath, well, it is an exercise in strength and determination on my part!!!
Buddy and Pal are very, very loving dogs- but they do have their problems, just like some of the other dogs listed in the pictures below them. I hope you enjoy all of the pictures, because I do!!!

Anyone know a dog psychiatrist?
Spiritual, boy- NOT Literal
We REALLY NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS!!!
You're on candid camera
And people, like dogs have their problems. Consider this story...
Luke, Chapter 15 (WEB)
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons. 12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ He divided his livelihood between them. 13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living. 14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need. 15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs. 16 He wanted to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any. 17 But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger! 18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. 19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate; 24 for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ They began to celebrate.
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on. 27 He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’ 28 But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his father came out, and begged him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
The wayward son had to realize his sin and seek forgiveness. The faithful son needed to realize that he had problems too!!! The father (representing God in this parable) loved them both and dealt with each according to their need.
Wait- am I talking about people or dogs today??? Hard to tell isn't it? Need to change things in your life? Don't wait for someone to put a sign around your neck- change already, change!!!
Note: this applies to both dogs and humans!!!
