I'm definitely a pet, for instance, but taking care of my parents is a full time job.

Lizards aplenty. Muscovy ducks. Mourning doves. C.A.T.s. Other dogs. Nary a fox. Do I still have that prey instinct. When mom hides a toy and squeaks it under a pillow on the couch, I do go nuts for it and dive in to capture it. Rational? Instinctual?.

Now that would be special!! Before I came to live with Mum and Dad they had a wire called Lucy. She was just adorable!! Mum and Dad have told me a story about her where there was a big rat in the backyard hiding under some timber. They showed Lucy where it was thinking she would hunt it. They rattled the timber pile. The rat ran out and Lucy completely ignored it and ran straight back into the house and her cosy bed. What sort of a wire was she?????Charliedownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212403434770733660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-948783984557940402014-03-29T12:01:46.234+00:002014-03-29T12:01:46.234+00:00Oh, and we wouldn't tell everyone this, but th...Oh, and we wouldn't tell everyone this, but there are Two rabbits and ONE hamster living in our annex and we have never bothered them!

Enzo and I are two Golden Retrievers, which as you know are dogs breed to retrieve ducks, so what does our own human do when we show interest in the neighbor's property (where our pensioner neighbor has taken to daily feeding and encouraging ducks and ducklings to live there - sometimes over ten at at time, and they have been quacking/laughing at us duck dogs for months) is our human tells us off for showing an interest. We can't get to the other side of the fence, but often our human gets even more animated when the ducks come through the fence or fly over the fence to see us! As Scotsmad said "the thrill is in the chase" even though us dogs have the shrill of our human's voice in our ears as they try to stop us catching anything!<br /><br />Woofs,<br />Riley and EnzoThe Life of Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042517508689233894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-31973453085956497182014-03-28T06:51:51.149+00:002014-03-28T06:51:51.149+00:00Anyway Bertie, the thrill is in the chase.
