That fuckin' cat is always under my feet
New ‘tough’ toy.
Lasted a good 10 minutes.
Can't agree more with this. We moved from Sweden to Durham with our old american bulldog. I drove from Trelleborg all the way to the Calais ferry and back up the length of the UK, so that she didn't have to go in the overnight cages on the Holland- Ncl ferry by herself. Took 2 days, but she was family and it was what she deserved.
The Dane was in full dickhead mode this evening, so decided to take him for an extra walk on his own.
While we were out I decided to run with him, I can’t describe it properly but he basically just kept leaping in the air next to me, at one point I thought he’d jump clean over me.
Made a few people laugh as we went by though.
(Also made me realise quite how unfit I am

Why do you always fold your dogs in half?
"There was a mouse"
Talked to a guy last night that was having some issues with his 2 yr. old female Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. He boarded her at a pro gun dog trainers facility and she came back skittish and now blinks(ignores) game birds in the field. He found out the guy used a shock collar on her even though he was specifically told not to. We talked for an hour about some ways to address the problem.
There was another couple that took their 2 dogs there a month ago. They got an update "progress" video and became concerned with what they saw. Long story short, they went to check on them and arrived shortly after one died by strangulation and a broken neck. The other is still traumatized. The sheriffs department is investigating and the couple is suing. Their goal is to put him out of business. That would be monumental.
I know this trainer and never liked his methods but he is popular in the gun dog community as there is still a strong belief by many that training by force is necessary.
Now I feel the pull to get back into gun dog training to promote and help provide reward based training opportunities.
I look at Tina often and tell her how lucky she is that we are her pet guardians.

Had the same with my two danes. The older and bigger one when running on full chat, could only be described as gallumping. Half gallop and half jumping
Cheers, I’ve been trying to think of a word to describe it.
Just took them out and forgot there’s some sort of carnival event thing going on, so people everywhere. He wanted to say hello to everyone, so basically a couple of miles of gallumping.
"Where's that feckin' cat?"
