Yes, they must supervise EVERYTHING!! 

I brought my boss's dog to Mom's house for a visit last weekend, & she felt the same need to assist with dinner preparations. (And she did get a few treats for being such a good supervisor, too.)    

My dog is a couchervisor!!

@catlady, is your fur baby a Newfie, by any chance?  S/he's gorgeous!

Hi!  No, he's what we call a defective* black lab. His parents were purebreds, but about a fourth of their puppies ended up with shaggy gray fur (the owners said it was due to recessive genes).  It's interesting that you ask if he's a Newfie; we had the same question a dozen times when he was really young. I hadn't been familiar with the breed, so I googled it and found pictures of Newfie puppies. My Kingsford looked exactly like one until he was about four months old; after that, his Lab traits began showing more. 

*by defective, we mean that in addition to not having short shiny jet black hair, he has webbed feet but refuses to swim, and despite being a Retriever he won't stoop to fetching. Yep, our baby is full of quirks. 

@catlady,  Kingsford sounds like a wonderful dog!  I love the quirky  ones.  

Both the Lab and the Newfie have the St John's water dog as an ancestor.
