I enjoyed reading 'em both, although your story, Fran, has tempered some my curiosity of how Sam would be at the beach -- the aftermath didn't sound like much fun.<br /><br />Sam still retains one annoying habit: when it's just the two of us out for a walk, Sam on leash, he sometimes goes off beserk on other dogs we pass peering out at us from their yards, or other dogs on a leash we encounter. I have come to accept that, in those situations, he's just trying to defend his publisher.Dadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257598218959429347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-2916971648925738562009-09-15T21:20:09.370-06:002009-09-15T21:20:09.370-06:00Well a day @ the park-- a dog day!
My dog used to ...Well a day @ the park-- a dog day!<br />My dog used to freak out & whine when he saw other dogs-- even though he was 75 pounds big!<br /><br />We tried spritzers, & telling him no.... but he never got past his phobia.... so we often let him stay home & lessen the trauma all around. <br /><br />Oh! Once we took him to the beach.... he loved running around & lapping up salty ocean water-- which made him sick.... as a dog. <br />Barfing & the runs. <br />That was an adventure we decided not to repeat. <br /><br />So glad Sam had fun & is a social critter. <br />Perhaps because he is so well read???Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-52155378631489048322009-09-14T22:54:12.688-06:002009-09-14T22:54:12.688-06:00What a great day for Sam!
He looks so regal. ...What a great day for Sam! <br /><br />He looks so regal. Nice he didn't forget about his REAL family even through all the distractions of meeting and interacting with so many new bikini-clad friends. You are definitely soul mates!<br /><br />Our dogs have always been too anti-social for group dog activities. Dog Beach in Del Mar CA was a bust after Juna tried to attack a striking young Sharpei. The last words I remember her owner saying was, as her pup bounded toward us, is your dog friendly? Then it was all teeth and fur, thankfully ending with an unhurt Sharpei (all that loose skin is good for something afterall: Juna couldn't get a decent bite) racing away with her owner down the beach while I held Juna who didn't stop barking until they were out of sight. The Sharpei probably didn't stop until Carlsbad, so unprepared for an attack was she. <br /><br />Sigh. We will try to socialize our next dogs much earlier, and hopefully with the kind of success you've enjoyed with Sam.D.K. Raedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451065603615752038noreply@blogger.com
