Why is it that.......?

Why is it that....

• There's a permanent smell of wet dog in the house?

• Dogs won't go into the garden to pee in the rain but will insist that you take them for a 'walk' in the very same rain?

• The dog only drinks from the fishpond despite all efforts to persuade him that the tap or rainbut water is really nice?

• Poo appears as if by magic in the garden just after I have done a 'poo patrol'?

• The dog finds the important mail delicious yet leaves the junk mail untasted?

 

Actions and consequences for the dog.

The dog enjoys rolling in 'stuff' in the fields but doesn't like the cleaning off acticity back home.

He is getting cleverer though and after a good roll and wallow in mud or manure he jumps into the stream to clean himself off.

This is not good enough for PL, however, who still hoses him down, then applies the dreaded hairdryer.





The dog with his new squeaky.

The dog loves this new squeaky so much I couldn't get the lable off before he started to walk it round and round the garden.

It 's a rooster so says 'cock-a-doodle-doo' every time he squeaks it.

I'm not regretting the purchase yet!!










Actions and consequences for dog owners.

The new larger crate arrived and is brilliant. The dog has plenty of room to stretch and scratch. Problem solved we thought. Not quite.

The crate is too big to move into the kitchen at night so we are leaving him in the hallway with the door fastened. The dog is OK with this but he now keeps us awake fiddling with his bedding that is too hot. (He liked to lay on the ceramic floor tiles in the kitchen.)

We are going to try to position the crate so that the door opens into the kitchen so he can get onto the tiles. Problem solved???  Watch this space.

Hiding in the bamboo ready to jump on the squirrel.

He now treats the garden as his own fiefdom; Chasing the squirrel and blackbirds out; Barking at the neighbours when he hears them over the fence.
