Malu's trip to the park

Show Off Your Dog
  • Last week, I took Malu up to a local public park in the city. I try and take him to a lot of public places so he gets to meet lots of new dogs and people. He even meet his first toddler. I was curious to see how he would react to a small child. He didn't know what to do with her at first but was very curious and slowly warmed up to her. She kept trying to tickle him :). He is still very cautious around new people (especially men) but after he sniffs them out he's OK warms up quickly.

  • such adorable wrinkles! And beautiful eyes.

  • Lovely pics of Malu, i love his face.
    It's a great idea to take them as many new places and meet all different types of people and animals when young.

  • How adorable..Lovely little face. Socializing them is so good to do..

    Pippin goes with me everywhere, to the hardware store, picking the kiddos up from school..next we are taking him to the movies, although only a drive-in theater..it will be very different and new for him, thus good to do..

  • THat is great advice. Now is the time, when he is still a puppy. Take him with you wherever you can. All sorts of different places with all kinds of noises, and encourage all kinds of people to pet him, specially children!!

  • I'm with Petra - it's such a good idea to get them used to everything - people, kids, sights, sounds….

  • WANT! :) Okay, not really. I love my Nayru and Batman, but oh that face. Those wrinkles!

  • His eyes are so so so pretty, love the bottom picture

    If you leave things in their reach (any puppy/young dog) will get into trouble.... pick things up.... put them away, they do not know the difference between their toys/chews and things like remotes/glasses/etc... they have your scent on them. You have to work on crate training if you can't secure a place for them.

    Usually we put presents under the tree, but I just don't dare since getting the B girls! Presents all hide in closets until it's actually time for them to be opened. We always wrap special treats for the girls and the cat as well, so they can tear something open to get to the goodies. Then the treats keep them busy while everyone else is unwrapping. The great-grandkids have been warned NOT to leave their stuff on the floor or where they look like dog toys on tables, etc.

    @AJs: It's just AJ and I. He's great. Only time I've had a problem with him waking me up was when he was sick with the runs for three days. He would whine to wake me up and go outside. Been there, done that. Gotta love those 3 a.m. wake-up calls, especially when its freezing outside.:)
