Weatherman says snow tomorrow!

Puppy News
My friend said "Put the ridgeback's basket beside the bed and he will sleep in it." I gave up on this after a couple of nights because he simply started the night in the basket then, when he thought I was asleep, jumped up on the bed. However last night I tried again. The puppy saw me, guessed what was going on, and grabbed the edge of the basket and tried to stop me carrying it into the bedroom. After a tug of war which I eventually won, I put the basket beside the bed. The puppy then grabbed the dog mattress out of the basket and ran into the hall with it.

So I spent another night on the edge of the bed with the puppy and husky getting the other 90% of the bed!

Sadly I am back home now, so no more regular Puppy News.

However I will still be taking the dogs for a walk most weekdays, so if either dog does something interesting I'll post. But not being there all day means this won't be often, because they tend to spend the walks sniffing, pissing, and (in the case of the puppy) chasing a ball. It would get boring real quick if every day I posted "The puppy sniffed something, then pissed on it." So only occasional Puppy News from here on.

Those stories can be interesting. Example: On Mother's Day we went to the girl's house for lunch & brought our chihuahuas with us. My oldest step-daughter has 1 chihuahua & my youngest has 2. We were in the backyard & one peed on the picnic table leg, followed by another sniffing then peeing on the same leg, followed by a 3rd.....this happened on & off for about an hour. Every now & then, one went over, took a sniff, lifted a leg, and went about their business

Many decades ago I was sitting on the beach when my dog pissed on a child's bucket. The child had down's syndrome, or something similar, so just sat blankly while the dog pissed on the bucket. The mother, however, was more vocal, so I apologised profusely and washed the bucket for her in the sea. When I turned round from washing the bucked I saw the kid still sitting blankly, while my dog pissed on the kid!
