Title: Parks are available, and angry dog
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on March 21, 2020, 09:27:05 PM
Small dogs have routines.

My pup and I have taken hundreds of walks in all weathers in the nearby Federal dam area since I retired.
Because the Federal roadways and lots are now barricaded - we have to walk in reverse of our normal directions due to barricaded bridges and roads.
That little dog will plant all four of her paws and refuse to walk in the 'wrong' direction on familiar paths. I had a half dozen 'refusals' - but in the end we managed the 1 hour walk.

After we got home, my daughter asked me "what is the matter with the our dog?!"
She didn't bite anyone, but she was angry at the world, stood on all 4 paws on my sleeping daughter, tore  up her own bed, and stared at me for 2 hours - because she was made to go in the wrong direction on her familiar walking paths!

My old Forza parked above the dam Federal side of the reservoir....

BTW - the State park rangers, who monitor the other side of the reservoir,  said it was OK to use those walking paths

I'm fortunate in the Collies don't care where we go for a walk just as long as we go.

Just got back from a mile long walk with the Collies 54F degrees out so was good to stretch the legs.

No walkies for us today - we are all in lockdown in the UK.

That sucks. They say walks are fine here just keep your social distance  6 feet.

College daughter is home schooling (on-line) getting flaky'er than usual - so rousted her out of bed for a few miles with pup and I at the Federal side of the reservoir this morning.
Ranger came along, got out of his truck, waved at us, picked up some trash and rode off. We thought we were in trouble..... :)

If it was warmer I'd get started on my scooter wheel removal....although my Pirelli Angel order from Revzilla is still out there, somewhere.

Boris says we’re allowed one a day! So my two doggies know they’re down on their usual quota...
