So basically, I woke up one day about a month ago and decided I wanted to teach my middle aged dog we got from a shelter some years before new tricks (she only knew how to sit), I looked up some easy ones and came to the conclusion I wanted her to shake! Easy right? She did it great, but she started doing it ALL. THE. TIME. Someone has food in their hand? She’ll raise up her paw and smack them in the leg (she’s pretty short but not a small dog). You’re telling her to sit? She’ll sit and then smack you with her paw. It doesn’t matter whether your hand is out, she’ll just do it whenever. It’s honestly funny, she’ll hit doors when she wants in, or hits her bowl when she wants more food etc etc. until people come over to visit and she’s smacking them! Everyone has thought this is funny, and I’m not too sure how to get her to stop, but it’s a great conversation starter when she comes over to say hi to friends and family!

TL;DR: my dog likes to hit people after an attempt at teaching her how to shake!

I 16M have had a crush on this person 16F for a month or two and I’m not too sure how to ask her out, we don’t have any classes together this year so I thought I would call her and see what she would want to do? I’m not sure, I’m pretty positive she would be okay with it, for example it was my birthday the other day and I woke up that morning to 7 messages of her texting me the birthday song! It made my day so much better because other than my best friend and family members no one has really done something like that for me!! I’ve also walked her to class and we talk every now and then but I don’t want to make her uncomfortable as we’ve been friends for a long time. Advice appreciated!! :)
