TGIF!! Hello friends, the weekend has arrived, and Mom and I have been crazy busy but with lots of fun. I am sure my sister over the Rainbow Bridge is giggling as she used to do the same with her and never stopped.
Last weekend the weather was chilly but sunny, so Mom took me to our little dog park, hooked me up on my long leash and I wandered around, sniffed lots and then relaxed in the outdoors. While Mom was drinking her coffee of course this awful man sat on a bench next to us and started harassing Mom about having a dog in the park, threatened her with pepper spray if I got too close to him, and did not shut up. When he told Mom that dog owners smell like dogs Mom replied to him that a fox smells his own tail, he looked at her not understanding, so she said google it BOL. He was not impressed and I got so mad I started barking at him. So Mom packed up our things and moved to another bench, when he said goodbye, Mom replied she has not patience for toxic people and the air was cleaner at the other bench. He said nothing and we sat down again, Mom tied me to that bench for safety, got out her coffee and just relaxed. It turned out to be a perfect day for us till we decided to come home. Can you believe the audacity of that person, he must be one unhappy man and as Mom says she has no sympathy for him as he was rude to her.
Mom that man is scary, I do not like him, Nili
On Monday we decided to try out the park Mom used to go to with my sister. She has been scared going there because of my leash reaction but thought maybe if I am on a long leash I will be a lot more relaxed and guess what it worked. I had so much fun there, smelling new dogs, playing with some and wandering around. It was just what I needed never mind Mom BOL, plus I learned a lot there also. I met one or two of my sister Layla’s Uncles and they spoiled me with treats, yum, so I cannot complain I want to go there again. I actually did not want to go home BOL.
Watching everyone
On Wednesday was crazy day, very busy with lots of fun. I went to the park and then we met Uncle, and he took Mom out for lunch at her favorite place Palmyra. It is Syrian food which Mom loves, and they make a garlic sauce called Toum which Mom cannot get enough of, she smells of garlic afterwards BOL. The owner was so nice and brought me a bowl of water and I of course climbed on the booth seating and tried pinching some of Uncles food, he said NO, and I was not happy but he did spoil me with a Hanukkah present, my first, a Star of David chew toy so I had something to play with while they ate and chatted. It was really fun and we walked home through the park and both of us
Waiting for the food
Trying to get food off the table, do I look innocent ?
When we got home I got another surprise, a goody bag for Christmas with lots of treats and a new squeaky giraffe, I love him and am squeaking and playing with him also all the time. Mom explained to me it is that time of the year for giving gifts and me likes that. My toybox is overflowing and I think Mom is going to need to get me a new one BOL.
I got a goody bag woof
My Star of David new toy
Today it rained, but as soon as there was a break in the rain Mom took me to the park where I sat in a puddle, got my butt wet, and played with some dogs, Mom was very proud of me as I behaved so got some extra treats when we got home.
He even played with me it was fun
The weather is yuck and everyone has gone home
I am not sure what Mom has planned for this weekend, but she told me she is going to a Hanukkah party on Sunday and I am going to have to stay at home, it is not fair but I will be good and guard the house with lots of barking, woof.
So as you can see Mom is a very busy senior BOL and I am keeping her on her toes as much as possible to keep her young, she is also baking me treats once a week for my kong to keep me busy so I am a very lucky happy rescued fur kid. I will share recipes next week for your pups.
Have a safe wonderful weekend and week everyone, stay warm and dry
With woof and hugs from Nili
Sounds like you had a blast! Do you behave better as far as leash reactivity on a longer leash vs a shorter one?
Andrea yes, she smells the dogs, plays with the small one, she is like a different dog and I am totally relaxed phew. I cannot do the long one when walking her only in the park.
Nili, I wish I had half the social life you do!! That incident with the man must have been a little worrying for your mom. I think she may need to carry pepper spray or does she have you to protect her?
Hindy I am exhausted from running around with her LOL and keeping her busy but it is important also to keep her busy when the weather is good. As for pepper spray I do have but would be afraid to use it if it is windy. As for that man I will go during the week to that park as he is at work, rather be safe than sorry and yes she barked at him non stop.
You sure have been busy sweet Nili and it sounds like you were mostly having fun in the dog parks until that rude man came along. Have a fun weekend!!!
Hello I just replied to your other, That man was so rude but have started taking her to another park and she is loving it. Have a wonderful week and stay warm.
What a week! I can’t believe how rude some people are, but your mom handled it well. It sounds like you’re getting lots of homemade yummy treats. Be a good pup while mom is gone tomorrow. Happy Hanukkah to you both! Enjoy your gifts and treats and I hope mom has a fun time at the party. Stay warm! It’s cold, windy, and snowing here. So, I’m sure your weather isn’t great either.
Terri I agree with you that man was very rude and I am sure he is a miserable person on a daily basis. I handled it as best as I could without really letting loose on him big time. I had a wonderful Hanukkah party, ate too much LOL and I got some wonderful gifts also. Please stay warm too, it is so cold and raining non stop at the moment. Hugs to Henry from us.
