Not a dog thought, but I'm supposed to be going to a BBQ this afternoon. It snowed about half a metre overnight, is still snowing and we have high winds, too.
We had our monthly dog club walk this morning through our local forest. Beautiful spring sunshine and lots of happy dogs all getting along. Oh and hotdogs (the edible kind) waiting for us all back at the car park.
A few weeks ago I asked for advice/opinions about retractable leads. Well, I've bought a Flexi (jawohl, topnotch German engineering) and I love it. I only use it for off-lead walks...which, defeats the purpose I know, but I had to accept that Xena had developed a terrible habit of darting off into thick bush after getting a whiff of cat poo, only to reappear when she was good and ready. Even areas that I thought were completely safe proved to be anything but. The Flexi gives her plenty of room to trot ahead and mooch from side to side, so I feel like it's a pretty good freedom substitute for now. And I'm so much more relaxed, because I know that she's not going to disappear into the bush. Fortunately, there's still plenty of poo to be snaffled in the long grass that edges the trails *sigh* I've yet to be able to differentiate between a)OMGPOO sniffing, b)OMGSMELLS sniffing, and c)OMGCICADA sniffing. So by the time I realise it's poo it's too late.
We were having a conversation about mental stimulation and the benefits of incorporating this into dog training tonight. I commented how our dogs never chew things because they are bored..... No dear he replied, they just chew because the LIKE it!!! Oops! Not much I could say after that!
When she comes running with her new big toy and pushes into the back of the knees and maks you collapse (I am sure we all did this to friends as teenagers). Then to complete the trick jumps on your back just to make sure you are down and ready to play....
Somebody in my neighbouring suburb has a Puli. Of course, I never see this dog when I'm out walking, but only ever when I'm driving. It's such a rare breed, the owners must get stopped all the time by curious people. It takes all my self-restraint to not pull over and go and meet this dog
Go outside have now after some very strong emails have decided to pay Rorys vet bill. I've had great fun with this and maybe just maybe they maybe understand that leaving a bowl full of substandard food dog in a dogs path is silly. I do love a good struggle with companies.being a logical stroppy cow works
Willow has The Fastest Tongue in the West. *wipes slobber off face* Here comes the tongue Doo doo doo doo, Here comes the tongue And I say It's soggy!
Oh no I'm lost so much for strong and no puppies yet. I met the most wonderful Brown un today. Im rubbish I really am.
