Easter hunt for dogs

by

I think I’ve invented what could be an Easter Hunt for dogs instead of young kids.

Every once in a while when my puppy seems to be acting hungry or deserves a treat I’ll get a very small handful of dry dog food. I throw a couple on the ground ahead of me and whiles she’s occupied I’ll drop one or two somewhere else. Throwing one on a couch or chair, at the base of the stairs and so on.

She loves it. It becomes a food hunt for her and it keeps her busy for 10 to 15 minutes at a time because even once she’s retrieved all the hidden treats she’ll keep checking around to make sure she didn’t miss any. I guess that’s probably because the smell of the food is still hanging around.

Do you do fun things with your dog or other pets to make it think and have some fun?





Dolphin rescues whales

by

After rescue workers failed to rescue two stranded pygmy sperm whales that were stranded near a New Zealand beach a bottle nosed dolphin came to their rescue.

Have a look at this news video which tells the tale of the dolphin rescuing the whales. This might be the first time dolphins have been recorded rescuing a whale. Obviously it’s probably not the first time it’s happened, just one of the first time we’ve known about it.

Amazing!

Cutest ankle biter ever

Now isn’t that the cutest little ankle bitter that you’ve ever seen?

Can you imagine working with bears and bear cubs? I’d love to be able to work with young wild animals. I’m not sure how I’d feel about it once they grew up and became more dangerous though!

Dogs in the park

Speaking of capturing funny dog pictures! LOL

Now that we’re taking our puppy to the park on a regular basis it probably won’t be too long before we’ll see something like this ourselves. Midnight’s already got some doggy friends that we run into in the park and each time she goes we meet new dog owners and new dogs.

On Sunday we brought her to the park with a frisbee. She had a ton of fun playing with it. Unfortunately she mainly wanted to chase it and catch it and then chew on it rather than bring it back to us.

The frisbee attracted other dogs and it wasn’t long before another lab, a 13 month old, got a hold of her frisbee. It was cold out and the frisbee was made of a hard plastic that must have become brittle as it eventually cracked.

We took the frisbee away at that point as I was pretty sure that one of the dogs would end up with a cut mouth or something!

I guess we’ll have to get a softer rubber frisbee to play with next time.

It was fun bringing a toy to the park though. That was the first time we brought anything for Midnight to play with and it went over well.

Do you bring along something for your dog to play with when you go on a long walk or a visit to a park?

Fun with puppy

by

The other day I found the bandanna that had been given to our puppy when we had her groomed in January.

Just for fun I put it around her neck and I was surprised that she didn’t try to get it off. She walked around with it on, looking totally adorable, for at least an hour before it started to loosen from around her neck.

When I took it off I decided to put it on her head around her ears. You know, like a scarf around her head. Again she surprised me by not trying to get it off. She looked like a little old lady … very similar to a couple of my elderly Greek/ Macedonian neighbors! We’d just treated Midnights eyes with an antibiotic eye ointment and it kind of makes her eyes look greasy or teary and of course that only enhance the funny look of the bandanna scarf around her head.

I guess we’re lucky that our pup puts up with us and the silly things we do to her.

The photos are still on my camera. I’ll work on them later today and post one or two. I’m sure you’ll find them funny.
