Dogs Trust open day

  • thunderbird8588T

    Today we went to the Dogs Trust open day in Merseyside with Malaika and Kwame.
    It was very well attended and hopefuly they have raised lots of money and rehomed some Dogs.
    We were realy pleased that Kwame was so sociable and he got plenty of practice being stroked and fussed by children which he needs.
    Malaika won a rosette in the prettiest bitch class and has promised to share her bag of goodies with Kwame.
    We were asked about the dogs almost constantly and Malaika did a few tricks for them. She also had a go at the fun agility, it was quite funny to see that she was so intent on following the piece of cheese up the ramp that she didn't appear to notice how high she was untill she got into the middle. She suddenly noticed and looked around as if to say OMG. She did well but wouldn't do the jumps, she couldn't see the point when you could just squeeze underneath.

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean

    Sahara does the same, she will stick her head through just enough to see you and then helps you get dry by licking. She loves to help out, and will take a bath pretty easy now. Daddy also took her with him to shower and she did good. We have also taken her in our boat with a lifepreserver of course and she liked it ok. Hubby put her in the river with him and she was fine with him. Yea, they do have the sweetest personalities, and we love our Sahara sooooooo much.

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!
