Next weekend, Saturday Nov 4 the CSCLRC is hosting their second annual Lab Fun Day. It’s being held at the James Island County Park in the dog park area, so even if you don’t have a lab you can come. It should be a fun day of retrieving demonstrations, fun and games. Come out with your dog(s) and play!
Doggie graduation
Simba graduated from Companion Dog class today. It was a tough final exam, having to do 1 minute sit and down stays, recalls through lots and lots of distractions, and being forced to leave all kinds of fun toys and tasty treats alone and ignore all the dogs among other tests. Simba made it through though despite crashing into one of the store displays during the recall) and passed with flying colours.
Below are some of his graduating classmates and their owners.
Doggie sisters
Half sisters really, I guess. At Paws in the Park, we ran into a couple who owned another black lab that looked like Nala. Turned out both of them had the same sire, Angus, and were both about the same age. Different litter though. Don’t they look cute together?
Watch out where your dog pees!
Bailey, a Staffordshire bull terrier, went for a wee against a faulty pylon, reports The Sun.
His owner Gary Davies said: “There was an almighty explosion and the whole street lit up. I turned round and the dog was on fire.”
The power was off in homes in Middlestone Moor, Co Durham for five hours.
Fortunately, according to the article, Bailey is recovering and recuperating.
Doggie weekend
We’re beagle-sitting for a friend of ours this weekend. Finish off the work week with a trip to the dog park, doggie class for Nala tomorrow, Simba needs a bath, both dogs are getting ear treatments (just a mild ear infection) for ‘yeastie beasties’, which they are none too pleased about and JASPCA‘s Paws in the Park is happening on Sunday.
It will be interesting to see how 3 dogs and 2 people stuffed into a car get along.
