It was a pleasant day for a walk with the dogs. The sky was clear and blue, and I didn’t need a hat. It’s quite different taking three dogs for a walk because they each want to go in different directions or, sniff the same tree. This creates a problem with the leashes, ending up in a kind of macrame. Poor Dhama, the oldest, usually trails behind, a zombie dog. I am sure that if she somehow slipped her collar, I wouldn’t know until we got home.
On route we had to stop at the corner store, and I had the fun of controlling the three beasts whilst Kelli went inside to get stuff. Milly was the only one who wined, the others just stood around not giving a jot.
We still give the new resident a calming medication which is hidden in a soft treat. It takes about one and a half hours to take effect, or so we think. Sometimes she resists, gnawing a sheep’s horn to keep awake. When she does succumb she snores like a docker.
