Red and Rover by Brian Basset for October 09, 2021

Hoovering or hunting?

Some would call it being on clean-up “duty”.

It’s part of the symbiotic relationship between the two of them.

Best vacuum you can have, gets into places a Roomba can’t……..

That sounds like my kind of hunt!

That’s really much work!!

Chasing squirrels can wear a doggie out!

A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go, hi ho the dairy o, the hunting we will go! Weach fur the sky squirrel.

The walks – bottom feeding – old chicken bones, dead worms, pieces of snakes, months old sandwich sections, live worms, toads, chunks of fish, and don’t get me started on garbage day. The rule is you can smell the garbage for 3 seconds, and then move on. My dog’s reflexes are better than mine, so I need to scan the road as we walk because even with the leash, I need to see anything potentially semi-edible first and avoid it. She sleeps a lot. I got her as an adult dog, and she was never taught to drop things or leave them. I once pulled almost an entire mouse out of her mouth by the tail. I had no idea what was in her mouth, and we do our big walk of the day at dawn. So many surprises! She’s smallish, too, but a trained hunter from her first 6 years.

If that were true, then my Lab should’ve stored up a boatload of energy by now!

Red likes eating and Rover likes both, sleeping and eating, this is a well fitting couple!!

Gotta do whatcha gotta do
