GuestHi,
no worries !!
providing you can get out the village with all this snow – me and the muppets will be free either thurs or fri but not sure which yet ! no worries about nearly drowning my dog – you wern’t to realise that i have the only dog in the whole world who cannot swim doggy paddle !!!!
i can see how Rafe wouldnt exactly mix well with non doggy people – i mean to me he seems perfectly polite but i’m not sure his ‘greets’ are entirely compatible with non dog people 😉 !!! I can also imagine his inpromptu showers are not that welcome either lol !!
more helpful tips – go walking with someone who has more than 1 dog, its much harder to control 2 or 3 dogs in a good heel-close and you’ll look much better and be more smug – hehe 🙂

MemberOn the plus side we had fun today with Rafe “helping” me build one GIANT snowman goalkeeper, and a wall of 3 defenders – I’ll post the pix up when I can erm, get my backside in gear and load them onto the computer…
He LIKES snowmen – expecially when they’re at that large ball stage – although they don’t last as long as you’d expect when you try to eat them.
Good thing there’s lots of snow spare!!

BTW – snowmen collapsed last night – BOOOOOO.
Will have fun letting Rafe finish the demolition job – he’s so good at destroying things!

Rafe and I had a Good Walk today!!
Started off with the usual Crazy Lady stuff, but by the time we’d gotten to the bottom of the ice-rink – I mean road, he was being GOOD! :surprise:
And all the way back only turning round once! :surprise: :surprise: :surprise:
Result – me being in a happy mood after taking him out on the lead! Just have to see if he remembers for next time…

MemberThats excellant Justine well done 🙂
February 4, 2009 at 1:55 pm #111091MemberHAD to update on this!!
Just took my boss’s car in to the garage across the road from where I live. Mechanic says… “erm, by the way, what are you doing with your dog? Are you training him?”
And then it dawns on me – The Crazy Lady demonstration has obviously not gone unnoticed.
Just in case any of you thought you were getting away with it – They DO notice.
I tried to explain, but the more I talked the more Crazy Lady I sounded.
Hey ho! :happy:
February 4, 2009 at 8:26 pm #111092GuestWell done! That is great to hear!
February 4, 2009 at 9:21 pm #111093Member:ugly: everyones watching you!!
February 8, 2009 at 6:45 pm #111094MemberOK, so following on from the success of last week’s enjoyable walk, and the crazy lady at the petrol station incident, Rafe and I went for a long walk today.
1) Over icy (slippery) ground
2) along a thin pathway by the road (on lead)
3) for a long way (to get 3a – cash and 3b – fish and chips with said cash)
4) To eat the fish and chips as we walked along the canal (nice and off lead).
The prize itself was great. The obstacles almost insurmountable….
When RAFE THE WONDER DOG came through!! He (eventually) resigned himself to his fate of a long walk before he could go off lead, and even, bless him, didn’t pull me over on the slippery ice, but WALKED SLOWLY next to me.
We traversed the ice sheets of almost certain upending, down the narrow path of fear, through the petrol station of temptation (cash point), and then up the steep hill of slippery…ness. To reach Mecca – The fish and chip shop. Which was closed.
Gutted.
So we went back and had a nice walk along the canal and by the river, and home. And I could have kissed him so many times. Except he’s gross and eats poo. So proud. He didn’t take advantage of me not being able to hold him at all. He did eat lots of corned beef though, which was perhaps why the walk was so successful.
I reckon that that gets me a criteria 2 breakthrough. Going to have to work on that so we can get success at higher criteria. Still, wouldn’t have believed it a few weeks ago. All it takes to get him back by my side is for me to stop and give him “the look”. Sooooo pleased!!! :butt:
