 Outdoor toys!
We live in the woods on a lake on a dead end dirt road, so I can go outside with both dogs and let 'em run around safely. Higgins is really an outdoors lover! Ever since we've had him, he pretty much figures that twigs and leaves and rocks are toys meant just for him. And believe it or not, he doesn't eat 'em. He sure chews 'em though! He is really enjoying the huge pinebark chips in our front flower bed. Has NEVER had a runny bowel or thrown up anything funny, either. Of course we watch him closely. He's just a regular ol' country dawg!
We had quite a bit of wood come down this winter and I was picking up twigs in the back yard this morning and putting them in our stone fire ring for burning later. When I turned around, Higgins was hauling everything out and spreading the twigs all over the lawn again! Futile! I'll have to get my wagon out so I can put the stuff UP where he can't haul it out again. But it was just more fun with my little guy!
We seem to be doing pretty well on housebreaking with only one BM done inside and one pee on the pad by the door. Otherwise he has done it all outside. I am not putting any effort into this right now. Again, I think Pogo is his role model and he follows right along behind his mentor......... |
