After *watchin* the SmokeMutt + Bowser "team" in action a few times;
I'm having second thoughts about "Are they really *DOING* anything
while they're out there!??"
I kind of wondered about that myself and if the leg liften is leg specific, the *buddy* might be in a precarious position of getting a bit damp in the process.
HOWDIE to you too, Bowser boy!
I'm glad you love treeties now. I'm not really surprised. After all, you have years of not having any to make up for!:D
Sounds like everyone is doing so well!!!!!
I love the buddy system--we do it when we walk all 4 dogs, they have a Y thingie but mom or dad is attached to the other side. No matter who we link together, it's hilarious:)
I'm so glad Bowser likes treats now--he musta realized what he was missing!!!
Hugs to all at the ranch!!!!
No real risk of one "hozin" da udder wun down ~Quote:

our Y-Thingies are 5-6 feetz long from the center loop -
pups can be 10-12 feetz apart.
But Dad fears da Chief Sittin/Eskort Dawg (SmokeMutt) went "On Strike"
this mornin...
We all dashed offa porch towardz da pond;
but Smoke <jammed onna brakes> an didda long *pee* inna frunt yard;
headed down ta his favorite #2 Spot;
but suddenly turned around an headed back to da porch -
(Lil Bit Bowzie draggin along behind)!
Now it WAS purdy KOLD out; but Smoke usually spendz a
bit more tyme onna Outie than that.
Aftur we had Brunch, Smoke & me went out "loose" whilst Bowzie got
hooked to da cable tie onna veranda.
Smoke made a BEE-line to his #2 Spot an did-it wiffout da
normal run-around-in-cirkelz fur two minnitz thing furst.
He sed onna way back to da howze, "BOY did I hafta *GO*!"
I fear Dad is konsiderin "Rotatin da Staff"...

MidNite Outtee rigged up...

Off they go... "Stay Close, Kids" ...
Half hour later ~ a "KNOCK" onna door.
SmokeMutt's KOLD and wants IN!
:eek: Where's the OTHER TWO!???
Whadda ya askin ME for!??
I got <fired> as Sitter / Eskort!! :p
"CINDER!! - BOWSER!! - COME!!"
<silence>
Can't find my snow boots... <skrew it>
C'mone, Smoke - FIND EM!!
No tracks toward the pond; up to the front yard...
Hmmmm, "Double Track" leading west towards the distant
naybur inna woods ...
"CINDER! - BOWSER! - COME!
Bowzie: "<YIPP> <YIPPITY-YIPP>"!!
Cinder: "<WHIIIIIne> <yip> <YAP-YAP>"!!
Bowser *sighted* runnin around & over a fallen tree...
"CINDER!!"
"<WHINNNNE> <yip> <yap>"
(from further up the tree line)...
CALM DOWN, Cin - I'm here!
"<WHINNNE> <pant> <paw> <tug><tug> <pull>"
Y-Thingy Rope <wound> around small tree 5-6 times;
Dawg attached;
rope leads to adjacent tree; wound aroud 4-5 times;
Dawg NOT attached.
<UN-Wind> panicky Big Dawg;
<Call> lil dawg... (who's <bouncing> around in the woods).
We head back home, picking up da "Scout" (SmokeMutt) who
thinks we're gonna PLAY - NOT!
Bowser runs across the road :eek: and parallels the front yard;
re-crosses and heads up the drive.
THANKFULLY Bowzie trotts in the garage, waits for the door
to open, and comes right in.
ALL "accounted for"!! ~ THANKS, God!!
A close examination of the Y=Thingy ROPE revealed:
Bowser "wearing" about 6" of rope; ending in a "clean cut"!
Mating end of his end had ANOTHER almost clean cut -
BOTH "cuts" about One Dawg-Mouth Apart...
Hmmmmm... "ROPE" only good to hold HIM while you're *watchin* him!
(Wonder how many times he's practiced the Rope Cut Trick!?)
SmokeMutt earned two Bisquits;
Certain Other Dawgs got *durty looks*!
We're runnin low on "Eskort Staff" :( ...
OK, KAT - you're Next Up!! :p
I wonder what they're <plotting> for TOMORROW??
:eek:
