Dog Walk In July - 21 There are odd reminders out here that we're within throwing distance of people's houses. |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 22 When we get out of the tunnel I can let Spike off the lead. I took this picture on account of not having four hands. |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 23 OH YAY TIME TO PLAY!!!! WHERE'S MY TOY, WOMAN??!!! |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 24 Find it yourself, Spike! |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 25 We are in another tunnel, a bigger one that is far enough from any roads to let Spike off the leash. Squish is still on-leash because his recall is iffy and he likes to explore for miles, but I have swapped him to the longer leash for the duration. |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 26 HERE'S MY TOY!!! I leave the toy out here, because if I walk round with an OMGTOY!!! in my pocket Spike becomes WAY TOO EXCITED to behave and just keeps jumping on me and trying to pick my pocket. It's only a length of knotted rope, so no one's likely to steal it. |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 27 Throw it for me?? |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 28 YAYYY!!! Fetch the rope! |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 29 A knotted rope is a versatile toy! |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 30 I love my knotted rope! |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 31 Spike's-eye view of me trying to leash him |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 32 I'm still trying to leash him. Another "I haven't got four hands" picture... |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 34 Why yes, it is a bit of a performance getting the leash back on Spike when he's all amped up, why do you ask? Incidentally, a good view of the repaired patch on his harness here! |
 |
Dog Walk In July - 35 Home again, and Cassie comes and rubs against Spike's legs! |

How many burrs can you pick off your collie in 5 minutes? begin....NOW! and count out loud...:D

Both. She rubs against him affectionately and smacks him whenever she wants him to move or the staring gets too much.
I was lucky, he only had seven or eight burrs on him altogether. Just part of the joy of long-haired dogs!

Half a bloody hour I spent today wrestling with the cat trying to get the blasted things out of her fur.

Or near enough that you don't want to pick them out by hand, and you definitely need to be careful with the big metal dog brush (her hair's really, really thick) in case it goes anywhere it shouldn't and you get a very pissed off cat.

Knotted rope is SO useful. I can leave the damn thing out there... if I try and carry it with me he becomes too apeshit to function properly.
