We went exploring today. We crossed the big field and went down a trail for a long way.....there was different poo on the trail and odd hoof prints...I told Lacey it was evidence of Javelinas. We didn't stop to find out.
Then we wandered the dusty streets of town and went past the old mission. People stopped to say how cute me and Lacey are! I am used to it but Lacey let it go to her head....she has been prancing and posturing ever since!
Then we went on another trail (I was getting a bit tired and wondering just how long they were going to keep this up) and went past a farm with huge bulls and cows staring through the fence. They had horns like you would not believe. Lacey ran up to the fence and barked and growled at them before Mom could yank her back. Sometimes I wonder about that dog....she is scared of her own shadow and then she tries to attack a long-horn bull...MAD!
We kept walking even further and ended up back at the off-leash park where three dogs were already playing. We introduced ourselves...they were quite nice...one spoke Spanish. Lacey was not in the mood to play or even socialize so we left and finally headed home. We may see them again, their Moms said they visit the park often.
I napped for an hour after getting home.
Well that sounds like a pleasant morning, Robbie, if a bit tiring for a mature dog like youself. Lacey sounds a bit moody, is she just being girly girly, sort of showing off to the big horned cattle and sulking in the park or was it that all the dogs in the park were females and only interested in your handsome little self. Actually that was Tansy's interpretation of Lacey's behaviour. Keep clear of the little tuskers . Tansy says that she is glad to hear that you and Lacey were admired, it shows that the people of Tubac have good taste in things that really matter.
ReplyDeleteI think you and Tansy have hit the nail on the head..it is jealousy pure and simple that is causing Lacey's problems!
ReplyDeleteInka and Blue want to remind you that Shar Peis are a warrior breed, and very protective. And to say they are jealous of your day. Mom said it was Sunday and a day of rest, so there was no construction work or even much of a walk. the colours are so beautiful now, intensified by the frost. The weather is cloudy with a smidgeon of sunshine. Colder.
ReplyDeleteI like to hear about your day too Inka and Blue's Mom. Thanks for sharing with me and Lacey.
