Balancing act

Post by icvanstra »

Let the dogs out the backyard yesterday to load them up and run an errand. They are milling around me waiting for the garage door to open. When it was up enough Cino when scooting under it and tried to jump in back of the car.

Of course hatch was still closed!

I wish I could have seen his face when he was in mid leap and realized that the hatch was down. The garage door was still going up so I missed much of this but I did see him balancing ever so carefully on the little bit of bumper that the Outback has ... and then fall sideways off the car.

Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.

:lol: That sounds priceless! I recall my blind rottie/pit, Cedar, once missed the door when loading into the jeep and leapt headlong into the side panel instead of the passenger door... *wince* it's funny because he wasn't hurt... thank heavens he had that thick rottie/pit skull! He rebounded back, shook his head, sniffed around to confirm the location of the open door, and jumped in like nothing had happened. Took me a minute to uncringe and get in to drive...

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.
