New AKC Designation: The Snorkling Group |
|
It's absolutely amazing; I wish you could see this!
We have a year old tri-colored collie named Douglas (a.k.a. Dougie). He's a real pleasant guy, and an exponent of what our Vet says are the only two emotions his own collies emit: happiness or fear. He shows his happiness when:
there's people around we're eating and he's "eligible" to get a piece of this or that, or we go out in the yard to play
He's fearful when:
he's carried down to our basement (he's afraid of doorways) he walks by and suddenly spots the sun tea jar that's a-brewing on a table he's cautiously sniffing a big plastic ball that was recently purchased for him to play with out in the yard
After all, he never can tell when an errant doorway, a jar of tea or a plastic ball might try to invoke bodily harm on his person.
But, back to this "Snorkling" group that's gotta be created by the AKC. I was out on our deck this past weekend watching our pups (that's the aforementioned Dougie and our three Shelties-Lily, Lyric and Declan). After they had been running around for a little while, I decided to fill their "outdoor" water bowls so they could quench their thirsts.
Turning on the hose to fill the bowls is, of course, a supreme effort in and of itself...
