S&L are traveling again, just for a few days. L and I tried something different with Ghost this time, barricading off the rear patio and leaving him outside during the day. That way I’m only visiting 2-3 times a day rather than 5. I liked it and I expected Ghost to as well. Guess not.
Look who just showed up at the cabin, barely able to take another step?
He is currently engaged in an effort to drink ALL THE WATER. Then I’m going to have to help him safely down the cabin stairs – which he could barely climb – to piss it all back out again. Wouldn’t really be a problem except I still have to go to town.
Did you have a chance to mention the doggie meds to them before they disappeared again?
Yeah, we discussed it.
It’s interesting that he not only came to your place willingly, he obviously went to a great deal of effort to do so,
He wasn’t happy about being locked out of his house, and I guess he’d had enough of it.
While you are in town get some Absorbine Jr. to rub him down with. That’s what Dad did for his old bird-dog. She made it in the field for several more years. Regular Absorbine is for horses, you want the Jr. which is for humans and apparently dogs, too
It amazes me that he could still find his way to you! You’re special Uncle Joel.
Ghost just followed the odor of one jeep (or maybe the occupant). Amazing sense of smell dogs do have. Hearing may go and sight too, but that nose will find a single kibble at 10 human paces..
Those stairs could be replaced by a ramp with a handrail and benefit both of you, him right now and you long term.
Move or book material. A dog and his uncle. And looks happy to be there!
In this situation Move=Movie. (But I maybe hopeless)
