Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.

At PetFest I stopped by the Lowcountry Dog tent and had pictures of the dogs taken for LCD’s cover dog contest. They didn’t win the contest, but they did make it onto the cover. The 5×7 photos I ordered just came in the mail today and look pretty good. I think I might go back and order 8×10 versions and use them to decorate the office.
4 years ago today we brought Nala home!
I think I may have rushed the dogs’ green tripe experience in a case of “too much too soon”. They each got about a third of a can at each meal, which I didn’t think they would have a problem with. Although they seemed to enjoy the green tripe, the dogs ended up with upset tummies starting with Simba on Sunday and Nala last night.
Simba is feeling better now and is back to normal and after a late pukey night, I think Nala’s starting to feel a little better.
Even though the dogs seemed to enjoy the tripe, I don’t think it’s something I’ll add on a regular basis. Main reason is the smell. Peeewww. Other reason is that although the dogs liked the tripe, if they’re going to be hitting the eject button the next day, that’s not going to be much fun for them or me.
Another update from Barkley’s new family. I think this was his first water adventure. I had him out by a pond at a CSCLRC event in the fall, but he didn’t jump into the water at all. He looked like he wanted to join the other dogs, but just ran around the edge of the water waiting for them to come out so he could grab the bumpers from the dogs.
He was so happy! Maggie immediate ran and jumped into the river, so he followed with a big leap- he looked so startled that he didn’t land on something! He had no problem paddling back to shore but then was too timid to go back in even though he really wanted to- he kept putting his toes and nose I’m and trying from every rock but just couldn’t take the plunge! We’re sure he will when the water is warm enough for us to get in because then he’ll follow. He and Maggie ran and ran over the rocks!
