We have
two wonderful shelter dogs, Enzo a spaniel mix and buddy a
golden lab mix. This picture taken was when they graduated
from pet obedience school at Pet Smart. We were so proud of
them. They probably weren't the best students in the class
and it didn't help a lot. But they tried.
Enzo is
a bundle of energy that is always saying " look at me ". The
alpha dog of the two and always the most likely suspect when
dog damage has occurred.. Buddy on the other hand except for
fence climbing, which has generally tapered off with age,
and digging up holes in the lawn for moles (which is clearly
defensible) has generally been considered the more perfectly
behaved of the two. Enzo could play all day and demands
constant attention. Buddy never really learned to play and
is a sweet, composed, mind his own business dog.
When we
walk the dogs Enzo always has his nose to the ground and is
pulling hard on the leash. Buddy, except for the rare
occasion when a deer or rabbit is spotted, barely pulls on
the leash. So when the most recent destruction of phone
books and hard backed books occurred the usual suspect was
naturally Enzo. |
