We had a guest dog over the weekend. Nanook. It was a trial for his owners, my brother in law and his wife and for us as well..to see if he would be okay if left with us. They leave town for a month in the winter so they thought leaving him with a family member would be easiest.
It was great! He was a bit pouty, and this look on a Samoyed Husky is kind of a funny one....after the first night though, he was warming up to his temporary home. Nanook and our dog, the Jack Russell Terrior also took some time to get used to each other..with it being our dog Elvis' house..he was not pleased at first with having to share. So..he tried to dominate the much larger dog, which did not work, so what happened was they ended up being playmates. It was quite cute to see them chasing each other in the back yard. I was happy to see they were getting along.
Until dinner time. You just can't leave an easy going slow eater like Nanook with the hyper, eat like a shark Elvis. We learned they had to be split up.
The second night, I opened the door to see what was going on with them, hadn't heard anything for a while. There they were. Two white dogs. Gone grey. What a sight!
They had been digging! Elvis never digs, Nanook apparantly sometimes digs..so I guess the two of them together equals one big digger. I was worried about what my brother in law and his wife would say when they was what was a fluffy white Samoyed Husky when they dropped him off..turned into a flat furred, grey wolf looking creature. Neither dog was allowed upstairs that night. It turns out Nanook gets himself into this state quite often. Whew. I felt like a bad dogsitter.
I guess we'll see what happens when the snow falls and Nanook is our guest. At least he'll have a lot of snow to get to before the hopefully frozen dirt.
Have a great day!!

The worst time for “road rage” is Monday afternoon and is most prevalent among males 26 to 35 and the web site roadragers.com has some interesting statistics…. Like the fact that 40% of people think road rage is a bad habit
New research by dog psychologists now suggest that a dog has the intelligence of a two year old…..which makes sense since a lot of two year olds… also have you cleaning you cleaning up their poo for them
On this date in 1173 construction on the Tower of Pisa started and it took over two centuries to complete…..and still in the end it wasn’t straight… how bad were those builders??
