I should walk on that?!

Post by CaroleBoaz »

I had some landscaping and deck demolition done at home this week. They finished on Tuesday. However, Boaz, decided that the new gravel patio is too harsh on his delicate tootsies (paws) that he would prefer to leap the 8 feet (2.44 meters) than walk on it.

Wish I had a photo of him leaping, but only the house.

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

They can get the strangest things into their heads! :lol:
Looks like a shorter jump on the right of the photo - of course that wouldn't be as much fun!

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

Well, when he was a puppy, he did the same thing at the dog park.
