She's either doing this or she's at 100mph. Pudding was clearly put out by her but seems to be warming to her now but both of the Rotties won't leave her alone.

Hmmm, why do I get the impression he want's me to stop working?
We are practicing some obedience commands at the moment. I had so many people telling me I should/must take him to puppy training school, but I've never really been a fan of dog trainers, if you know you know. I'm doing it myself.

Sounds like a great trip circuit. We did a 3,000 mile 12 day trip about a year ago and included a stop in Bowling Green, Kentucky to visit the Corvette Museum and the Corvette Assembly Plant. We only ran into rain once, but had to skirt further south on the way back to avoid potential freezing rain or ice.A fellow CCCUK member has a Red Mist Metallic C8 and it is a beautiful colour especially in bright sunlight. I'll show the NC500 route we're doing then get back to doggies before I get in trouble

Walking with a Cocker Spaniel is always a stop-start affair, they always find something to sniff out. So, you can sort of excuse my indifference with every stop, he's usually just sniffing who was there last. We pretty much always walk close to waterways or bushland, so I'm always trying to at least keep him out of the taller grass, usually while saying "no buddy, there might be a snake in there".....................
So we stop for the 300th time, I say the line, but this time it was different. Something clearly had his attention, I took a closer look where suddenly it clicked and I yanked him away as fast as I could......................from a red belly black snake, cue the FECKING F.CK!
The snake was facing away from us and wasn't moving, so I thought it may have been dead, but then it started to move slowly away. So, I'd say it was slow and sleepy as its now getting quite cold, had it been mid-summer we may not have been so lucky.
We normally don't see snakes this late in the season, its always in spring and early summer. That makes it four I've come across while walking this past warm season, three with Faych and one with Olly.

Someone got a hold of a bee the other morning...
He was all better by the evening after Benadryl.

Otto likes the spicy flies. He's never been bit, or if he has, he's never reacted nor cared.Someone got a hold of a bee the other morning...

Holly caught a spicy sky raisin a couple of years ago and looked like she'd gone a few rounds in the ring.

It's probably the only thing he likes better than me.

A little update on Mr. Olly.................
We are now firmly into a daily routine. The midday walk is highly anticipated, he waits for me at the door, which is where his harness and lead are hung up. Despite the anticipation, putting on said harness is a hazardous procedure, he wriggles and bites with much gusto. He's also gotten very strong, pulling against the lead with barely contained excitement, only broken when he stops for sniff. He sits with me on the deck while I have breakfast, enjoying the autumn sunshine. At night, after his evening meal and a chase of the ball, he curls up next to me while I write or do bookwork. He's also taken to watching TV, especially if other animals are involved, last night he started barking at the dogs on the screen.
He's now at the age where I'm supposed to have him desexed. I know its standard procedure, but we've become so attached that I don't want to leave him there. He's not been left without his people around for more than a few hours since he came home. Same applies to having his coat clipped.

My wife and I were just talking about how we should do exactly that!
Beautiful GSD. I have a 9 year old golden GSD and when i poured the slab for our outdoor BBQ, she was the first to have her paw print in it.
Mr. Olly and I went for a big walk this afternoon, we then swung by to have a play date with our friends.
Curled up and fast asleep after an impromptu bath. The play date had been going beautifully — Olly initiating play with his bigger friends, chasing them around at full speed, pure joy. He'd gotten a little dirty, but nothing major. Then, for reasons known only to both of us, he stepped off the side of the pool onto the plastic cover and plunged straight in. Mildly dirty to fully saturated in five seconds flat. Naturally, once plucked from the water, he tore through the garden and emerged dirtier than before. That earned him a bath.
Such is puppy life.

It’s been a while since these two have been off the reservation, so we went for one of our favorite walks through a local state park.
I think we all needed a good walk.. lol
