Dog owners soon learn that their dogs don’t need lots of toys, or expensive chew toys. Mine don’t anyway. They’re just has happy chasing an empty water bottle around and have just as much fun (if not more) doing it than with their toys. In fact given a choice, they usually go for the plastic bottle instead of all their other toys. Funny, but true.
It’s like kids and boxes. Forget the stuff that came in them. They have more fun with the box instead.
Hallowe’en thoughts
We’re not quite sure yet how we’re going to dress the dogs for Hallowe’en this year, but we spotted these cool jack-o-lantern bandannas at Superpetz today and couldn’t resist them.
A cozy resting spot
When the wife is studying, Simba likes to relax under the desk at her feet.
Doggie play date
Yesterday we headed out to Wadmalaw Island to visit a friend and her 3 labs for a doggie play date.
Here’s Bailey making sure everybody knows how the pond works
Simba’s a pretty quick study
After cooling off in the pond, they came back to visit us
Bridgette decided to just watch our two nut dogs run around
but mostly she just wanted a little love and attention from the new people
Our two nut dogs spent most of the day doing this
or this
I think watching all of their antics made Bridgette tired
Nala and Simba definitely had a good time
Cleaning crew to the floor!
Yesterday’s Kinderpuppy class was entertaining in kind of a weird perverse sort of way (why can I never remember how to spell weird?).
Class itself was pretty normal. Worked on some more ‘Leave it’, heeling and recalls. Problem was, dogs were peeing all over the place! One dog let loose just as class was starting. Another one decided to go during play time in the middle of class, and a third just let it rip towards the end of class and left puddles all over. It was puppy firehose action last night I tell ya. After the second incident, several other owners decided it would be prudent to take their dogs outside for a pre-emptive potty break. No such incidents with Simba, although I’m sure he might have been thinking about it. Peeing must be contagious for dogs just like yawning is for people.
The floor of the store where class was held is going to need a good scrubbing after yesterday.
