With September rolling at us in full force – all the kiddies are back to school. Including Oliver! Towards then end of the summer his cousin Ophie’s mom from Oklahoma taught him ‘Give me your paw’. Which is really more ’show me your paw out to the side and wiggle it a little’. Oliver has repeatedly told me he doesn’t like his feet touched. ‘HANDS OFF MOMMA!’
So it has been with great difficulty to move from ‘Give me your paw’ to ‘Give me your other paw’. me: ‘GIve me your other paw’ – (sticks out same paw). no, ‘other paw!’ (same paw) ‘OTHER PAW’. (no paw) ’OTHER’. (huffs. and sits. waiting patiently for the treat) fine. ‘give me kisses!’ licks my nose in a hurry!
that one he is good at. GOOD boy!!!!
his treat of choice currently is the pupperoni brand of Ribs. They are bigger than his nose and he chomp chomps them all up.
now that it is a little cooler we have also taken him to the dog parks in the area more often to keep socializing and exercising him. the goal is always to tire him out so he will stop tormenting the cat. last week was the Boston terrier meet up group at the park. there was one guy there with a stupid bandanna that Oliver was picking fights with. we’ve already discussed earlier his non-love for bandannas and so , a natural enemy was born.
a little scared of a bigger guy.
welcoming committee
oliver sees his nemesis
no one liked the bandanna
price of fashion mistakes
time out!
