We've been having very hot spells lately coupled with sporadic truly ferocious thunderstorms! One major branch of the trees in Dog Woods broke the other day after a rather violent rainy episode. The Chief said the weather changes is due to 'El Nino'.
If you asked this TOP DOG, El Nino is really quite a moody fellow swinging from sweltering hot to pouringly wet with hardly any respite in between ... look at the aftermath of one major storm, it broke one of the trees' branches which damaged part of the fence. :P
While our Donny boy - who's doing very nicely health wise has developed a nasty habit of picking fights with whomever he deems to bully for the day! :P
To maintain harmony within the Pack, the Chief has taken to leashing Donny every time she takes us ALL on walk about Dog Woods. Dragging him away whenever another fight is about to erupt ...
Interestingly, Donny boy for some reason has somehow acquired a squeak for his bark lately. It did make the Chief wonder whether he's developed some kind of sore throat after the Tick Fever ... but oddly enough, he's back to normal German Shepherd deep barking self whenever he picks fights with either one of us Dog WOods Pack.
Honestly we thinks, he's merely being dogg-edly scheming. His squeakiness is merely a ploy to attract more of Chief's attention to himself while reserving his positively growl-y barks to initimidate us lot - esp. the Fur Kids since he thinks they are easier to pick on!
We gots some pictures of Donny boy and Tubby fighting the other day. It was all legs, paws and snarly faces - really all quite unnerving to watch, unless one's into that kind of thing ...
Oh dear Donny, why are you fighting boy. We hope you don't hurt anyone in the pack.

oh dear--i hope Donny's tendency to fight gets under control, he is such a lovely boy otherwise! maybe he has been so traumatized it is his only way to cope..
ReplyDeleteHopefully Donny is just settling in! He is a lovely dog and glad his health is so improved but we think the chief is right about the leash - at least that way she is in charge!
ReplyDeleteThe weather sounds a bit scary to us - we dont like storms.

That was quite a storm. Why do the trees always seem to fall on the fence. We've had to repair our fence twice from trees falling.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get Donny's anger issues under control. It's no fun living with someone who might attack at any time.
That is one big honkin branch that came down. Glad no doggie got hurt.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Donny is just used to being an only dog.

Here is something special for Donny Boy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jgma--0WYU
That is the most wonderful Michael Londra - a dear friend of mom's Maybe it will help calm him down if he listens to Michael sing - works for me!!!1
That branch could have squashed little doggies like us. Have a great weekend.

We wonder if Donny is not just tryin to assert his place in the pack & is afraid he's gonna get stuck at the bottom? Or maybe he's just plain grumpy? Could go either way. hhhhmmmm

Donny will settle in soon - it took us a while before we let Carrleigh be part of our pack. And occasionally she and Lilly still spar a little but we think it's a "woman" thing.
