So I'm convinced that Mika hates her kennel.
When the kennel was first assembled, we made it really comfortable in there for her with old rugs and sheets and even a feather pillow which was donated to the cause. Plus some toys too. The feather pillow was used to decorate the lawn and she drags the sheet(s) and blankets out onto the driveway then carefully arranges into a big lump to sit on while she watches the world go by. She also does this in the rain... >_< Can't leave anything in her kennel, it just gets dragged around the lawn, muddied and torn :-/
We've tried feeding her in her kennel, but she goes in there, grabs a mouthful, pops out, chews, then pops back in grabs another mouthful...rinse repeat.
She much prefers sitting on the back step for some reason. Baffling dog!
I'm not sure what to do or how to encourage her to enjoy her kennel more. Has anyone had this problem before? How did you and your dog get over this little hurdle?
Home sweet home, kennel sweet kennel
My heart! He stole it!!!
Older dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I'm a total sucker for big, brown, sad eyes that have seen too much. I found Angus while I was trawling the Pet Rescue site.
I thought that maybe I could convince hubby to take him on as a foster care puppy until he finds his forever home. I thought wrong :( Hubby has a heart of gold, but very rigid boundaries :P Which I suppose is probably a good thing because if he didn't we'd probably have a mini rescue farm by this point. But imagine the love we'd get in return!!! Mika gives us so much love already, take that x2 or x3 or or .... Yeah, hubby didn't buy it either :P
I keep seeing some puppies on Pet Rescue and hope and wish that they will find a great home to go to. Fingers crossed that Angus will find his forever home soon. I wish I could give him a big cuddle.
Pets painted to look like pandas and tigers
A new pet park in China painted their dogs to look like pandas and tigers. This golden retriever was dyed to look like a tiger.
I think they look adorable. Hopefully this pet park does not support puppy farms! I still support people adopting pets and buying from breeders whenever possible :)
