If you don't know already I'm a huge dog person and I love Coca-Cola stuff too. And the other day I decided, "Why not combined the two together?" So I did. Believe it or not, it was really hard to get the picture I wanted. Because I had to keep Rooney concentrated on me and nothing else, AND I had to have my brother take the picture at the right angle.
Now Rooney, being a puppy, got distracted....by everything. But I was finally able to get him to sit, in one place, and not move a muscle until a few pictures were taken.
Once we were done taking the pictures, of cousre, Rooney just sat there. In that one spot. Wouldn't even move for food. Guess he wants to be a model. I mean, who knows, he might just be the next poster pup for Coke... ;)
Now we all know someone, live next door to someone, or we are someone who has a dog. I mean lets face the facts, dogs and humans have been together for thousands of years, and it's not changing anytime soon.
I'm making this blog from an obsevation stand piont, not saying anyone is wrong or right.
With that said; do you have a friend, neighbor, or someone who has a dog that they keep in the backyard or house? I've notice there are many people in my neighborhood who keep their four-legged friends outside in the backyard. I'm not gonna lie, my dogs [Scamp and Rooney] stay outside too. But my neighbors don't tend to walk their dogs. Now a good percent of the people who live here are elderly, and some of them just can't take a Chow mix on a walk the way they could a Chihuahua. And some of the neighbors have health problems too. Now the others, here, are families. For example, there's this one family, a few years back they got a puppy. They would take their new puppy on walks all the time; now that the dog has lost it's cute puppy stage and it stays in the backyard, getting walks every six months or so.
Then there are the house dog people I know. I know people who have dogs that only come out on a leash, never get to roam freely outside. Yes, I do understand that fencing is not allowed in some neighborhoods, some find electic fencing inhumane, others can't afford to have a fence put up, or when living in an apartment you don't even have a yard! But personally, once again this is my opinion, most people have computers, smart phones, iPads, whatever, so they can Google local dog parks, or even ask their friends who have fenced properties if they can bring their pooch next time they visit.
So yeah, that's just something that I notice with many different people. However, I do want to point out, that running around the backyard or going on a poop walk is not enough exrcise for any dog. Hour long walks daily (with your pup by your side) are easy on you and the dog.
(PS: Whenever your dog is pulling you and you're pulling back, A - you're both working against each other. And B - the walk feels longer than it really is. Trust me, I know.)
