I arrived yesterday evening to dog sit. The dogs are always happy to see me and now that I am here for the weekend, dog sitting for The Loveable G, they seem to love me more!
I think this may have a lot to do with the fact that it is me that is taking them for walkies, reassuring them when they get scared of the fireworks and above all else it is me that opens the dog food tin and opens the doggie biscuit tin!
G will laugh when I tell him what Bert and Rufus have been doing. While he is not here I can say 'Are you hungry?' to the dogs and they jump about, wagging their tails with excitement but when I am with him and I say exactly the same thing, they look at me as if they have absolutely no idea what I am talking about.
I guess they are keeping me sweet as I am their current provider.
It was lovely walking them this morning. They behaved really well. I let Bert off the lead as he is so well trained and when he started to run off after a creature he heard in the bushes I only had to call him and he came straight back. I am not about to risk this with Rufus and Lovely however as they are very different characters.
They are all sleeping happily at the moment and are saving their energy until the next time their hear me getting up to find their leads...
This is Rufus, the picture is taken on Dartmoor. He loves being out in wild places like that.
