My human has two bondage systems that she uses to walk him. One is a slip collar with leash and the other is his Freedom harness and leash. When she uses the slip collar, the FG has a terrible habit of pulling. So she will only use that if she is taking him out on our property - and usually when he is just going out for a quick pee. He walks much better with the harness- he doesn't pull, although he DOES like to try and pull on the leash with his teeth, in an effort to get my human to let go so he can run away. But they are working on that -or should I say my HUMAN is working on that - so his walks on the harness are generally well controlled.
So get this - the FG has figured out which is the "more fun" system. He willingly and QUICKLY, puts his head in the slip collar. I mean he doesn't hesitate for a second to put his head in the slip collar. But in the past few days, when my human takes out the harness, it's like trying to catch a butterfly. He flits here and there and won't get near my human! He KNOWS that the harness means he cannot pull - AND he is not in control! Seriously. This has not happened just once. He has done it several times. My human even resorted to tricking him. She picked up the harness and he took off. So she put it down and picked up the leash and slip collar. He raced over. Of course she took him by the collar and pulled out the harness. His ears went inside out. He hates that thing. No control - and CLEARLY the FG is a dog who likes to be in control. I'm thinking he has some PON in him.
Well it's Friday and as I predicted, NO MORE SNOW in the forecast. And now the muddy mole hill filled backyard is emerging as the snow continues to quickly melt. We haven't been successful in finding that ferret poop - so we're back to begging people to borrow their terriers. A pack of terriers honestly can't make the yard ANY worse than it is now. Time for me to go write the Help wanted ad.
Have a good one.
