I usually lurk on this forum A LOT... However, my husband and I have a dog that has the personality of most of the cats I have had. This would be a pug named Dixie. She sits on the back of the couch, only wants petted when she wants - and will move away if she doesn't want your attention. Although, she also likes to perch on hubby's shoulder, so I could say she might think she's a parrot also...

None of our dogs really fetch. They will go after the toy I throw for them but never will bring it back to me. If I want them to fetch it again I have to go and retrieve said toy. Crazy dogs! But I love them...
