With spring fresh in the air we all know it means one thing – doggy parks!
As any dog person knows warmer weather means dogs cavorting in grass and clover and, of course, with other dogs.
Before you unleash fido to jump into the foray, make sure your dog is well mannered.
And by well-mannered we mean a dog who is socially adjusted.
A socially adjusted dog is one that puts up with annoying pups, too-friendly dogs and eager little children.
If your dog is in any way unpredictable or skittish, we recommend finding a quieter dog park, keeping a very close eye on him in a less-populated area of the park, or keeping him leashed.
And remember a good obedience or dog training class can turn a gem of a dog into a shining star of whatever society throws up.
Remember Macavity? He was the English cat who made headlines a couple of years back when he began to regularly take the bus…to a local fish and chip shop (hey, cats have always been wiley and smart…why walk to partake in some tasty mosels when you can be driven there?), and then caught the bus back.
And for years, people have reported sightings of pigeons regularly taking the London tube – often the same one, going to its favourite stops. They wait patiently for the tran to stop, then get off at their stop.
Well,the dogs of Moscow refuse to be left out.
Just like you and me, these dogs (they’re strays) have to make a living. So they board the ttrains each day and head into the city looking for food from kindly strangers (or wherever the can get it…like barking suddenly to get people to drop their food).
The dogs even work together to make sure they get off at the right stop And in the evenings? They take the train back out to the burs, for a well-earned night’s sleep…
Your erstwhile blogger is suffering a sad case of the injuries and figured this adorable video, brought to my attention by the great site serious eats, was the perfect thing to take the mind off the pain – and it also works perfectly for any kind of pick-me-up you may be needing…
So here’s the adorable video of a baby bunny eating a flower, the washing his face.
And don’t worry: the baby bunny was not on the serious eats menu.
