Sunday Funnies - May 2, 2021
Some shots of Mickey from this past week.
He looks like he's flying! He refused to walk until he was finished watching the children on the playground! He's a very curious puppy. Make that, nosy. He will throw a little hissy-fit if I try to hurry him when he's satisfying his curiosity. So, why not? Let him stare at the children playing, I am in no hurry! His trainers say he's learning about his world and his reactions are due to frustration.
If you have never had a puppy, you might not know that the suggestion to tie old socks together to make a tug toy is a bad idea. It teaches them that socks are toys; they can't distinguish between toy socks and your socks. Well, I discovered the same goes for those dog toys with the empty water bottles inside. Dogs love the crinkly sound. And... Mickey found the same fun crinkly chewy bottles all packaged up like a present on the kitchen floor! Problem was, they had water in them!
Puppies make their fun wherever they can find it, even if that fun means curling up in a fire pit.
Hope you had a lovely weekend.
He is so cute! I bet he's going to grow up to be a very smart boy. He sure looks like he's studying the children playing intently and the way he's stretched out he does look like he's flying lol.
ReplyDeleteHe is smart. I'm surprised just how smart, because I've had border collie mixes before, and they were smart, just a different kind of smart. He's also sensitive (according to his trainers) and "over thinks things" (trainers again). They've known him longer than I have!
DeleteHe is super cute, love his curiosity, I think that's a sign of a happy dog! Mia is actually afraid of plastic bottles so much so that when we're out, she doesn't come to drink until the bottle is out of sight... we're making slow progress here, but she's very far from playing with them like Mickey! That last picture though, brilliant! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how frightening for Mia! I wonder what happened in her past to cause that? I wonder that about a lot of things Mickey does or doesn't do.
