Last week in the comments on Donna and husky videos, Lindsay from ThatMutt.com said: “The videos made me smile :) She’s fast!”
Yah, when our local mongrel dog wants to be. Her normal walking speed is…
OK, I said walk, not stop.
That is a big word, isn’t it? And one that is not particularly intuitive either.
Just a couple of weeks ago, we took Donna for an audition a temperament assessment with a Dog Daycare Center. Before that, the owner had asked me over email, “what breed is your dog”. And when I replied mongrel, I was asked – “Is your dog socialised?”
To say I got my hackles up was an understatement. I got the underlying implication that mongrels are likely to be trouble-makers, and further conversation with the owner of the daycare center confirmed the truth of my suspicions. The owner said that the few times they had a mongrel, it had caused them problems.
Do we look like problems to you?
Miss Harper Lee in her favourite scarf perhaps. I keep seeing her in it.
Picture “borrowed” :P from Miss Harper Lee’s Instagram, edited by me.
Miss Harper Lee, who looks very safari here, tagged me to post 20 things about myself on Instagram, but 20 things is a little too long for IG, so this is my reply here:
Phoneography Monday Challenge: Macro
Apps used: Camera+, Snapseed, VSCOcam, Moldiv
I’m not sure whether these are caterpillars or not but they were flourishing in the garden downstairs. These might be the yellow spotted millipede. Normally, Donna and I just walk past them but the other day I thought I would try taking pictures.
It was then that I really started seeing them. And what I saw was greatly amusing.
Look at me!!! Look at me!! I can haz moustache too! XD
When we first decided to get a pet, we debated about whether we should get a cat or a dog. Mr P suggested a cat several times because, by all accounts cats are more independent and perhaps more suitable for two busy adults.
But I wanted a pet that will get me exercising regularly. It is a commitment I wanted to make. You can walk or run with a dog, but not with a cat. (It was later that I found out some people do walk their cats on a harness :P)
So we adopted Donna. Dog walking became an everyday item on the day’s to-do list.
How many different pictures can one take of the same dog walking every day? More pictures than I would have thought.
Enjoy. Photos after the jump ;)
