They were still there , but couch potatoes, tubby and unfit ..... living in a small yard in a big city had taken the "doggie" out of them , and of course we were at work all the time so there wasnt much quality time with them.
Now we are back on a farm and I can see a HUGE difference ...... the weather has been horrible , pouring with rain , the sun coms out for two days and its too hot to live and down comes the rain ..... anyhow .....
I dont know if you recall Mikis love of muddy puddles ??? Well ... she has rediscovered the joy of "zooming " past a puddle in the pouring rain .... giving me a "go to blazes ma " look and jumping with all 4 paws into the puddle floppin into it and rolling around like a pig .
They now refuse to drink water from their bowl
:dunno: they both either drink puddle water or stand underneath the drainpipes to get fresh rainwater .. if it wasnt raining so hard I would have taken a photo of two dogs sitting blissfully under the gutter heads back mouths open drinking water ...... I have never seen anything like it .
They are both with me the entire day and dont leave my side , as a result their manners have improved , Miki's recall is 100% , monty .. well he is a boy and do they ever listen ??? he trys tho .. at least when I call him he looks at me , thats a start right
Funnily enough he knows by the tone of my voice when im serious then he comes as soon as I call him.
Because of the heat and then rain they dont go out much , but when they do ..... oh my , and in the evenings when its cooled down and not raining its into the van for drive and walkies.
My kitchen is covered in newspaper for muddy paws , now this is Magics area of joy , , last night she manged to spread my carefully laid out newspaper all down the passage .... and this is quite a large house.
