I won't go into the full story of Friday's incident, but it involved two slices of bread found in our shared front garden, a young lab puppy, lots of swallowing with very little chewing (of said bread) some fairly aggressive food guarding.
Then, when released from lead about 1/4 mile away, immediate return to site of bread, more aggressive guarding (from the normally sweet Buddy!!!!) and no recall whatsoever.
Then at the end of the walk, no recall when released again, and straight into the dirtiest, foulest water you can imagine in the balance pools.
I was sooooooooo mad. I think he may be wondering what a bar steward is now
, and I refused to allow him to swim to wash the mud etc off, I took him home and used the hose instead!
And no, I was not pre-menstrual!
