A little while ago I decided that the houseplants needed watering. My puppy, Midnight, is interested in just about everything I do. She follows me everywhere she can. So of course when I grabbed the watering container and started filling it up with water she was right there beside me.
That’s not where things get strange …
She loves that plastic watering can. I think she thinks it’s a toy. As I walked back and forth filling the container up with water and then walking through the main floor of the house watering various plants she was right beside me, trying to get the watering container from my hands the whole time.
When Chris came home from work I told him that maybe we should take the watering can with us when we take her for walks. Perhaps she’d finally heel! Chris picked up the watering can and walked through the house and she was right beside him the whole time intently looking at the watering container.
I really do think it might help stop her from pulling us pretty much off our feet when we take her for a walk if we try bringing that watering can with us! We have a harness for her but even that’s not helping that much now that she’s gotten bigger and has put on more weight. When she pulls she’s really strong. So yeah … maybe later tonight when we take her for a walk the watering can will come along for the trip.
Cute story. Pets are such a part of our lives. Could not imagine life without my two.
Midnight is at the ‘curious’ stage.
You should try a “gentle lead” harness. We have a boxer…I was getting so frustrated at her pulling that I refused to walk her anymore. Then we stumbled onto this leash and we had an instantly compliant dog.
UNDISCLAIMER: I have no vested interest in the product, just sharing information!
That is just so cute! You should take a video of it and post for us to see =)
Aaaw, what a little sweetheart. Midnight sounds so cute…:)
wow, this is so cute
