my favorite quirky Dobe behavior for sure!

Not even on a leash! It was a remote area right near a public road or I wouldn't have let her out of the car, but she didn't "touch" anything.I suspect dogs are not allowed in National Parks there, either? Great photo!

Those whisker pads!!! That's what Asha does when excited or amped up about something. As an aside, she refused to touch any food dispensers, rubber or plastic, all those expensive Kongs went to the animal shelter. She is absolutely food crazy but can't stand the taste of those containers or chew toys. I tried peanut butter, treats, kibble, cream cheese and she'll start but then leave it. One toy that's all rubber/plastic has a great squeaker and she wants soooo bad to grab it up but as soon as it's in her mouth she spits it out.Jaspers goofy face waiting for the kong in my hands

It’s funny that animals have the same issues as humans with taste and texture aversions.She is absolutely food crazy but can't stand the taste of those containers or chew toys.
I noticed K had the same issues with his toys - some he was keen on, others not so much and rubber was one of them! Their tastes change over time and he eventually loved all this toys. I think washing new toys will help reduce the 'manufacturing' scent that they are sensitive to due to their strong sniffers. The black Kong hasn't lost its rubbery smell, but it's way weaker than it used to be. That one needed to go through the dishwasher a few times!Those whisker pads!!!

I put the kids toys in the washer with warm water, ACV, baking soda and Dr. Bronner’s Hemp baby soap and let soak for an hour, then run the wash cycle. Then I use a half cup of lemon juice in the rinse water.That one needed to go through the dishwasher a few times!
Love the idea to use lemons!I put the kids toys in the washer with warm water, ACV, baking soda and Dr. Bronner’s Hemp baby soap and let soak for an hour, then run the wash cycle. Then I use a half cup of lemon juice in the rinse water.
That’s how I was their bedding and chew blankets too.
Works great for cleaning and there is no harmful chemicals.
