Talking about squirrels and birds in the other post prompted me to tell a little story about the other day. I don't walk my dogs much anymore because of my shoulder, but I took them on a walk the other day. I'm just going to ramble about all the events...sorry. lol.
About five houses down from ours, there used to be two dogs. Digger, a pharoah hound and Chubby, a little mix. They were kind of funny because they'd get so worked up when we walked by that they'd start barking and growling at eachother. They'd get confused on who the "intruders" were. Well, this time, things were quiet when we walked by. So, I stopped to find out that they had to put Chubby down. Digger's personality is so different without Chubby. He's all quiet and sad. :( I think I actually liked it better when he barked and growled. He's an outside dog only and he doesn't get much attention. I asked if he could come over for a playdate. They said "Maybe." I'm going to bug them this weekend.
Then, we walked under this tree that was sooooooo full of birds. You couldn't even hear yourself they were so loud. (And boy was I afraid of a present on my head.) I was working with the dogs, so I made them keep going aside from the distraction. My dogs literally walked on their hind legs like people the whole time under the tree. LMAO. They wanted the birds so bad!
Lastly, we walked by this house where this OLD black lab lays on the porch and chills everyday. I don't like Dusty and Roxy to bother him because he's so old. I snapped Dusty's chain because he got nuts. I swear, I barely snapped it, I KNOW I didn't hurt him. It must have surprised him because he started screaming and yelping like I'd beaten him. The old man came running out (probably thinking it was his dog). I was like "I swear I didn't beat him!" He just laughed and said he was glad to see me back out and about. He likes my dogs, and he knows Dusty is my problem child. -Actually was...he is getting SO much better!
If you read all of this, you are really bored. ;) Have a good day!
