Fail 1, we moved recently to the country (1.6 acres) with a small fenced section directly behind the house. We left the dogs in the fenced area and ran errands one Saturday morning. Pulled into the driveway and we were greeted by both dogs out in the front yard. :surprise: We latched one gate and forgot the second gate, left it wide open.
Fail 2, taking pictures of my grandson with Della. To preface this Della has always paid so much attention to Colton(11 months), checking on him, sleeping beside him. Tessa would rather hang with Caylee (his older sister). So anyways I'm taking pictures the 3 of us are in a 3 foot radius, and it wasn't until after I put the camera down that I realized Colton had a really tight grip of Dell's
ear. :surprise: She never even flinched at him,
Thank goodness I have such balanced and good natured dogs that learn their rules and obey them. So obviously we're double checking the gates now. I removed her ear from his grip immediately, and have to be more observant when I've got my camera going.
And to the question, we've always taken our dogs camping, Tess (7) has always loved swimming, Della(4) would splash at the edge and lay in the water but really didn't swim. Tessa has always been fetch crazy, Della will retrieve but it's not her life purpose. Now that we've moved and have a pond, Della is swimming so much more than Tessa. She'll even go into the deep edges, not using the beach,, Tessa will go in at the beach to fetch but seldom just to swim. Della is also much more interested in fetch, so 2 fairly major changes for her. Has anyone else seen big differences after moving?
