Random Pet Photo of the Day - 2020 - post yours!

I saw a documentary once that showed how elderly humans did better walking on floors that were painted to look like stairs. The visual aid got the brain working the legs to go the way they should one foot in front of the other. I'd keep the solar lights going too

I am also going to paint a black line on the edge of each stair. This deck and stairs are the only ones we didn’t replace last year when we did the big deck off the back of the house. I stained it for the heck of it but thats worn off already. So no harm in trying something like that line. I thought it might be a visual for him to see each step? I often wonder if he can't tell what he's stepping on? I don't know. I always go out at night with a good flashlight to hold over the stairs for him. But sometimes he still needs a little encouragement. Poor guy.

Bath day today. So pleased to be clean that he refused to lay down on his old brown bath mat. I anticipated this and had his grey bath mat ready. He waited for me to prepare it. Only then did he curl it up to his liking and go to sleep.

They delight in rolling in foul substances, but really like a bath and clean bedding. Go figure!

This morning Jazz and I went with our friends to a beautiful beach for a Sunday drive. Both dogs had a fantastic time and us oldies also enjoyed a perfect day!
The beach drive.

Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaaw!

Kaiser is strange that way, he doesn't roll in smelly things. He won't even play with his ball or frisbee if it gets smelly. Sometimes we couldn't even see what was on there, but rinsing it seemed to solve the problem haha.

The beach shots look so fun!

They are such little princes! When Bedja was just 11 weeks old, on his first ride home, he had a soft bed in his crate in the car. 10 minutes into the drive he started messing around with the bedding, so, worried that he might chew and ingest something I stopped and removed the soft bedding to continue the drive. So I thought. As soon as I resumed driving Bedja started Waaailing! SO unhappy! I wish I had made a recording it was so funny in a way. Clearly removing his soft bed was the WRONG move haha, so I stopped again and put it back, and he quietly made half a circle and lied down on it for the rest of the two hour ride.

Such a beautiful girl. She has a little sparkle of devilment in her eyes.

Worst puppy I ever had... She's smart as a whip but has zero desire to please. We talked it over and decided we're going to keep her anyway. LOL

Puppies had an exciting day, yesterday! Went for a 7.5 mile hike before going to a dog friendly brewery!

Had to stop a couple of times for Moo to roll around (nothing stinky, luckily!)



Rubie was desperate to snuggle with someone to keep warm


Moo made friends with a Puerto Rican street dog named Tito (not pictured)


And home in time for football and trick or treaters!



We saw two groups of horses and the puppies politely stood off to the side and let them pass. Poor Moo doesn't seem to be his happy go lucky self today so hoping he's just tired from a full day yesterday and nothing else is wrong

How many of you let your dogs sit in your lap after they got full grown?

Not only the lap - Anna will crawl behind me if my lap isn't available.

 

[jazzies mum]

^^^^^ That is hilarious!

 

[Ravenbird]

@LifeofRubie - wow, you guys! I'm betting Moo is just resting after that long hike and will spring back to his old self. Do you do that kind of mileage often? No wonder they look so fit! LOL at first glance (I hadn't read your caption) I thought Rubie was pushing for a sip of beer.

Oh, she tried that, too

I would say this is probably the first time we've done a straight 7.5 mile 'hike' with them. We have a TON of forest preserves and places to go outdoors in the Chicago Burbs but it's generally along a 10 foot wide, groomed, crushed gravel path. This one was a little more rugged with a couple of ups and downs but we still did it in under 3 hours. When we go camping and do much more rigorous hiking, a 3 or 4 mile stint at one time is about the furthest we go but we may do two hikes a day.

So yeah, I think that topped off with a couple of hours at a brewery and THEN trick or treaters, another evening walk, etc., was a LOT for MooMoo. He's back to his old self this morning but only after some hardcore napping yesterday.

Not only the lap - Anna will crawl behind me if my lap isn't available.

Yes, we are heading into our warmer late spring weather now. This beach took a bit of 4WD work to reach so apart from a few people fishing a some paragliders it was all free open space!
