One day we were going to be gone all day. Hospital, so max had to stay home. We asked the neighbours across the way, the lhasa apso owners, to check on max from time to time, let him out etc.
I asked them over to show where the food and treats were kept. I should not have mentioned t r e a t. Oh well. He had to behave. I gave him the look and he sat down, gave me the paws. Not a spoken command needed. He got his treat

Re: That dog again
A sad note....We walk Ozzie for an elderly lady who lost her friend, Peter who walked Ozzie. So we walk Ozzie. Her next door neighbour has now lost her partner. She has no close relatives and with the lock down will have to cope with all the funeral arrangements on her own.
We will help where we can, of course. My dear wife has spoken to her by phone to offer that. She has a little dog. Mo. We will offer to walk her.
It is a barky little thing. Gentle giant Max doesn't mind so I think they would stroll along just just fine. Ozzie.........the jury is out.

Re: That dog again
Max to the sound of silenceHello my old friend
You came to bark at me again
But a vision softly was creeping in
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
You would stop barking once again
I know that was in vain
When you first came with us
You didn’t kick up a fuss
We didn’t think you had a voice
You didn’t make a single noise
Now I can’t sleep so late
You whack the bed and agitate.
You know the times to eat and walk
And where there is a cat to stalk.
Max the Max………..

But there is a Chihuahua that always wants to have a go. Given the size difference, it makes the lady owner smile.

Re: That dog again
Pets know when you are not well, Besoeker. My two furries have not left my side since my surgery last Friday. Nemo,in particular, has sat close to me with a reassuring paw on me. When he had to go for a loo break - Willow took over.. They have been a bit more relaxed over the last couple of days - but still one of them is with me where ever I go.Some people think cats are aloof and uncaring - trust me - they are not.
