Happy Monday blogaroos. Squirmy here on this – THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING! Yee haw! Let the buds begin to pop out. Let the geese return. Let the birds begin to sing. And let the hidden poop piles emerge as the snow continues to melt. Good times.
The Coyote appears to be completely recovered since the broken nail caper. He even stood on his favorite rock to survey the lake. He also ate some blueberries during the morning distribution- so you KNOW he’s definitely feeling good.
So it was a quiet weekend. No drama. No vet visits. No escapees. No company. No matches. No trials. No nothing. The Warden had to run a few errands – and she and I did go to do some training outside the local rec center – which was “different.” I decided to try the old intermittent reinforcement thing – and I actually did quite well. Giving her the false impression that I’m becoming somewhat reliable in training. Truth is – it’s still a roll of the dice. Next time could be a gong show. Ya just never know!
So – did you read what happened in dogdom in the US? The decades long title of “most popular breed” has changed. Yup the ever popular breed the Labrador Retriever is no longer numero uno. It’s the Picard! Just kidding. Just kidding. It’s the bat-earred, smushy-faced French Bulldog!!! Picards came in at 153 and PONs came in later. I don’t want to say what because the Coyote will rub it in. OK. OK. We were 181. We’re valuable. Because we’re more rare. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
And speaking of rare and unique – check out the homes of some of the rich and famous canines in the world.
The Warden said that would be her luck – build us a fancy schmancy dog mansion, and we wouldn’t want to use it. Sadly, I could relate to Doug the Pug, who had a huge number of outfits stored in bins. Kind of like the ones we have for our holiday attire, stored in the garage. But when the day comes that the Warden has a special closet built – I’m outta here.
So as I said, a quiet weekend. I continue to hone my hair styling skills on my most willing client.,.
AND yesterday I took on a new client…
I am a dog with many, many talents….
Have a good one. Peace and paws up. Stay safe.
