When it's time for a walk, be it morning or evening, the focus that the two terriers have is totally unbreakable. I can be working at my desk and and up jumps Lucie scattering my equipment and pushing her face into mine and staring at point blank range right into my eyes. Lucie is just over two years old, very energetic and lithe. She can, when she wants to, clear the couch from a standing jump. Outside and during the walk she just runs and runs and runs. Energy to burn.
Barney is a little over fourteen years old and he just stares up at you willing you to move, and out on the walk he just plods along allowing time for scenting and breaks into a bit of a run when sets off to catch you up. Before the walk his aim is to try get you to the coat rack and dog-leads as soon as possible and become operational. For him the logic is that when we get back they get their tea and a couple of treats, then it's lie down in front of the wood burner and to dream about repeating the same routine. Meanwhile, just look into my eyes.
Hi John
ReplyDeleteOh those eyes.....
Despite the pestering from my eldest we don't have a dog (yet!). However, we do have a Netherland Dwarf house rabbit which is almost as good.
During the day when there are people at home, he has the run of the downstairs. When it is his feeding time he will sit by the entrance to the garage where his food and hay are kept in anticipation of being fed - giving a 'hard stare' to anyone who dares to go in there and exit without his food!
Take care and stay safe
