I now have visions of you arriving at shops with a load of huskies in harnesses . . . how else would they know?
I'm still in slight shock over a woman I spoke to in the dentist waiting room one day tried to add me as a friend on facebook
Ah, what you encountered there was a lady with a serious psychological condition . . . a face-book friend collector :rolleyes:0 -

Nope although that would have been quite interesting. I'm now giggling away to myself picturing a whole team of huskies plus sled pulling up to the petrol pumps, ohh I'm easily amused.

Oh we had suuuuuuch a great 2 nights away.
We stayed down by a lake in Galway on private land so the boys were off lead most of the time. They spent much of the afternoon swimming and chasing the ball. Later on we had the fire lit, boys dry and warm again after swimming and snuggled in their crate. We let them out for the toilet thinking they had gotten the swim out of their systems..... not a hope. Both plunged back in, at about 11pm, splashed around a bit then came back to bed shivering and moaning. :rolleyes: But they had a great time, playing around the mounds of grass, climbing in and out of boats and sharing chicken pieces by the campfire.
The next night we moved onto connemara and stayed by the sea. The beach was totally new to Phoenix. I think he went a bit mad. Firstly he kept lying flat on his belly with his legs out front and back - it turns out he was peeing
everytime he needed a pee in the sand he'd flop down onto his belly. It was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
He then totally forgot the fact that when it comes to recall he's the "good" one. Less selective hearing and more "screw you". He just switched off. It was like he was staging his own little riot. Chasing seagulls, eating seaweed, biting waves, not coming when called, barrelling around and bashing into us. It was madness, but they were so tired I woke in a panic this morning thinking they had somehow gotten out - they didn't move a muscle all night.

Got some of that pvc piping at the weekend to make one of these http://www.instantagility.com/2008/04/14/bar-jump-or-hurdle/ Bit wet outside today so decided to introduce him to a wee jump in the kitchen over a broom handle. Made him sit one side and then called him over it, done this twice and each time he got his liver cake, he then decided to get two steps ahead of me and started jumping over and back over it on his own accord then he'd sit and look up at me as if to say 'c'mon where's my treat'. I think I have a future agility champion on my hands! Well if I can't have my showjumping pony I guess the dog jumping over poles will just have to do for the time being.
Also started a little heelwork to music (without the music) with him and taught him to weave in between my legs as I stepped forward. Again with some liver cake he got the hang of it, although I have a feeling it's not the best thing to be teaching him to do in the kitchen! 0 -

I have the same problem with my youngster's recall. He rushes back for a treat & then rushes away - so that he can rush back again
He has only every peed indoors twice - both at the Vets, in the same place all over the dog food & with the same Vet nurse - so embarrassing :eek:0 -

The first night was wild camping, so showers were had that morning. The second night was a site with facilities. So we could shower there too.
:eek: Whispered peeing in the bushes or worse :eek: To think that I am near Galway & could of missed the photo opportunity of a lifetime
I hope your dogs clean up after their human
I am a veteran of many festivals & some camping. Showers are easy. Stand in a washing up bowl & use either a solar shower or a camping shower.
Now the toilet bit. Pee in the bushes or buy a fold up loo - it's a loo seat on a stand & bags go underneath. The hard part might be when mummy goes into the tent to "be alone" & daddy has to take the kids for a walk !0 -
