Where did you take your dog this week?

[IliamnasQuest]

Khana and I went to a luau at the local college (my sister works there). Khana had a great time socializing. I wanted to do some obedience practice with her around all the distractions, but the running kids and the roast pig were too much and she couldn't concentrate .. *L*

She met dozens of people and was petted frequently, which she just loves. I was surprised at how many people petted her without even asking if she was friendly (of course she was wiggling and happy to see everyone, so maybe it was just that obvious). One guy crouched down and put his face right in hers and said "ooh, what a pretty girl you are!". She loved it, but really - how smart is it to put your face right into the face of a strange dog?

My niece and nephew each got to walk her around for a bit, and it turned into a bit of a comedy when Khana went one way around a tree and my nephew Ethan went the other way. He's FOUR and thinks he can do everything himself. When I tried to help untangle them, he said "I CAN DO IT!!" so I let him figure it out. He very carefully stepped over the leash and around the tree, and then told Khana "don't do that again!". She didn't listen, of course! *L* And at one point he wanted to go left and she went right and he ended up on his butt with the MOST indignant look on his face .. *LOL* .. I told my sister that he'd finally met his match in stubbornness!

There were other dogs there and one that snapped at its owner. My Mom was watching my niece and made sure to keep her away from that dog (Mom saw it snap). I don't know why people bring dogs with poor temperaments into places where there are a lot of people and other dogs too.

Khana was a good representative for her breed and everyone really enjoyed her. One woman asked me to save her some dog fur as she does weaving and wants to put something in the fair, so I took her card and I'll get ahold of her as the dogs shed more. I have a constant supply of hair!

So where did you take your dog this week?

I took my two to the dog park--have been waiting for a beautiful day to spend time out. Here's a few pics:

Mostly the woods.

I went exploring the other day and found some public footpaths through the fields which was nice.

Victor goes most places i go. So he has been to the guild a number of times, to the park a couple. And of course to Grandmother's house daily. He is a gogo boy, if he had to stay home for two whole days in a row he would be climbing the walls. Mary unfortunatley does not get to go the guild and she has to go to Grandmother's which puts her in a funk. Do i make it up to her by taking her out for icecream.

I took Ox to the park with my newphew, Trevor who's 5. Ox plays fetch and even goes down the slides with Trevor too. Ox even likes to drink out of the water fountain all by himself! Silly dog

A trip to pet supplies plus, a visit to a friend for Tosca's weekly playdate with his Boxer Sinatra. A walk thru our park and some frisbee. A farmer's market where we almost got thrown out at first, but gratefully Tosca showed her manners. She got a lot of pets and pats there and a fresh carrot from one of the vendors, which she ate right there in front of him.

Last Sunday, we went to a weight pull in Norman.

Thursday, Intro to Open class.

She was supposed to go to the vet Friday, but that got pushed back to Wednesday.

Today, we were at an ADBA show in Kellyville.

Tomorrow, we may go to agility practice, but will more likely just take the day off.

we went to petco, and i think that's it. there's not a lot of places to go around here, but we did go for a car ride in the convertible, which pretty much made Milo's week.

Zeus just went to the vet's office. He still had tubes and drains sticking out of him everywhere, so I didn't take him out in public.

Voodoo went to the local playground, where he met a bunch of kids and people, a few walks around the neighborhood, and on a trip to the bank to visit the automatic cookie dispenser (the vaccuum tube in the drive-through line).

Necedah Wildlife Refuge....45K acres of wilderness. We tried but we missed some spots

Sal was very disappointed to find out Wild Turkeys can fly

 

[ToscasMom]

Yeah we know why all dogs love the bank. lol.

Everywhere I went! Hiking with a friend and the 14 dogs in her care, to work every day, to the barn where my horse is every day, on a road trip to an out-of-town shelter to help my friend evaluate a dog that the shelter wanted to place in her rescue, to the Ben & Jerry's factory (best stop of the week, of course ), to Petsmart.... Pretty average week for Meg!

 

[Brattina88]

They've both been to 2 different parks, Maddie has been to the bank, mcdonalds drive thru, the movies (just to pick up my brother), the post office, um... I think that's it lol

 

[MafiaPrincess]

Long trip home from Brockville together, out for gas, multiple park romps, agility class, tennis courts for fetch and around the block with my little sister.

CeCe went to work with me every day. Very boring for the most part, but it beats being crated at home all day. She gets a walk at noon around the fishing docks though. This is also a training walk, heel, sit, stay.

To the vet. She had a reaction to something. I suspect a grooming product from last week's bath.

Around the neighborhood for a short walk every morning. A longer walk around the marina each evening. More heel, sit, stay.

A short visit to to Petco. More heel, sit, stay.

Not too much excitement, but she is with me if she is awake and sometimes when she is asleep.

Oops, almost forgot; Obedience class. More heel, sit, stay. She's getting pretty good at it. :lol-sign:
