Alfie is getting a little frustrated, even though I'm trying to give him good walks
This blooming snow and ice is so dangerous to him one slip on ice or twist on a hard piece of snow could see him confined to barracks for days.
I'm therefore being uber careful.
Met a little terrier this afternoon that really wanted to play, Alfie did also and he was the type of dog I'd normally let Alfie have a little skitter with.
Couldn't though and he seemed to go into a total strop, we just weren't gelling at all for the rest of the walk and he behaved like a complete brat

Glad to say that we are ok now after a cuddle on the sofa

How many of you have those days when you and your dog just aren't on the same wavelength?

me..... and usually its my fault but don't tell them that okay..

Boo is never on my wavelength...deliberately so I have now tagged her with a Loc8tor tag to track her down when she decides to have 'selective hearing' problems! She hasn't worked out yet how I manage to sneak up on her when she thinks she is well hidden whilst she eats my plants!

Sorry but me and my lot are pretty much always on the same wavelength!!
I like to give cuddles...they like to receive cuddles! Simples..

Luckily mine dont mind a couple of half hour walks rather then an hour or two when its icy. Im not bothered mine would fall and hurt themselves but I wont risk that their clumsy great moo of an owner will slip and fall on them!

You're right to be cautious with him though - glad you made up

Came in from work today and Zipper has been really 'barky' - no idea what he wanted - so I wasn't talking to him until he settled, which seemed to take forever - he did eventually settle and we've had some lovely cuddles

We are never on the same wavelength as these two mostly because balls just aren't my thing.

Duke and I often fall out but that's usually if he's hogging the bed or settee.

Clover and I fall out over things like barking when out walking, please recall when there's dogs and giggle wiggle...aka mum needs to sleep not play bowling alley over mum's back

I'm having the same trouble with Quiver and for the same reasons.

If I take the other three without her, she goes into one - if I take her but keep her on the lead, she goes into one - if I let her off the lead she picks up a toy and if I won't throw it, she goes into one.

You just can't win can you and I only have her best interests at heart. I'm so frightened that she's going to hurt herself on the hard and slippery ground.
