Our
Furry Visitors
 |
| "Another walk PLEASE!" |
This
week we have 2 more doggy visitors staying with us. Chloe and
Natalie, our son and daughter's 2 huge golden retrievers have joined
us while their owners take a vacation. They are very used to staying
with us as ever since they were pups they have visited with us and
played with the pets at our house. They really are no trouble as
although they are very large they are gentle and well trained and do
fine with our 2 dogs and also the 4 cats. So presently we have 4 big
dogs and 4 cats which makes for a pretty “furry house”.
We are
having a few extra problems this time as Natalie has just had knee
surgery which means as she is still recovering from her surgery and
so must be kept so she doesn't run or use her leg too much. She walks
fine most of the time but we were cautioned to keep her on a leash to
walk her because if she sees a squirrel , or raccoon or possum she
will rush out with the rest of the dogs and there goes the knee joint
again. So this has meant walking the dogs 4 or 5 times a day just
around the yard and keeping the doggy door closed. Normally we have
the door open and so the dogs would usually spend a lot of the time
out in the yard but with it closed ,the dog fur keeps building up.
Good
job I have a good vacuum cleaner!!
Two lovely creatures, they certainly like to share affection!
ReplyDeleteSince we lost Dudley a couple of years ago the amount of fur in the vacuum has reduced to almost nil (we still have one cat)!
