Captioned “sacred” because I submitted for that theme for August Break 2013 on Instagram.

She has to go through some effort, to get the food reward inside this toy.
Two pretty high contrast pictures that I thought suitable for black and white. I originally published them in colour on Instagram, which you can view here. How do you spend your Sundays?
Living with a dog is a weekly overview of the posts published in the last week, and some of the discussions prompted in the comments or thoughts that I had as a result of hindsight later on. The following list gives you a quick idea of the main topics covered in this issue, before the full article:
- dog behaviours when out on a walk
- dogs with a fear of car travel
- the different types of leash available that can be put to leisure and training use
- thunderstorm phobia
- mobile photography apps for pet and everyday photography
- our new Facebook page
Mikki isn’t comfortable with Donna and Donna can be a bit of a rascal at times in trying to get the golden retriever to play. Thankfully our mongrel knows better than to encroach too much into Mikki’s space. You can see the gap she leaves for Mikki in this picture.
I’m just fake rushing at you — is that what she could be thinking?
She made an about turn there and raced away again.
This is part one of a series of posts documenting our trip to Changi Beach and meeting the dogs Chloe, Ally and Mikki. This is the first time we brought Donna out to socialise with a visitor of our blog!
We were scheduled to meet with some small dogs for the first time.
And because we had a not so successful introduction to another dog before, and knowing that Donna can sometimes be overly friendly and want to approach some dogs we walk pass on our walks. And also that she has, admittedly, a past history of antagonistic relationships with other female dogs – namely her mother, siblings, a former cell-mate called Grace – I thought it prudent to take the dog for a long walk in the morning… 2 hours. :P *pats self on the back*
Aside: Doggerel recently published a post on that gives the key points how to introduce unfamiliar dogs, if you are interested.
We went to the pretty Bishan Park. (I have more pictures and a related news article on my previous post on this link to dog urban agility at Bishan park, if you are interested.)
One of the lovely features in the park is the man-made stream that runs through the length of it. At various points of the stream, there are stone steps that one can traverse across to get to the other side for the fun of it. We’ve never tried going across them before, but there’s always a first for anything isn’t it?
So I thought hey, Donna can parkour across the stream by hopping across the stone steps!
But first, the coast has got to be clear, so we waited for this man to come across. I thought to take a picture of Donna before she starts her journey across the stream, but she didn’t want to stay. She wanted to forge ahead.
Is she a good dog sitting by the roadside? Well actually, this is Donna sitting her ground during a walk at night and refusing to go home. She shows this kind of behaviour sometimes, and she will literally lie down and stick to the ground when she really, really doesn’t want to budge. That’s our Donna :P
