Trained too well
Sometimes I wish I hadn’t trained Aagje as well as I did.
During my lunch today (I’m working from home) I decided to mow the front lawn. Aagje noticed me getting my jacket and she misinterpreted it as “we’re going for a walk!”. So she got all excited and I told her to go lie down on her spot.
Mowing the lawn took me less than half an hour and afterwards I went back to work. About 5 minutes ago I heard her whine. When I looked around she was still on her mat, just like I told her. She apparently was very thirsty, because as soon as I told her she was allowed to get up, she ran to her water and started drinking for a minute straight.
I mowed the lawn two hours ago.
She sure loves to play
I keep most of Aagje’s toys in the garage, since that acts as her kennel until I find the money to create an actual one. She doesn’t mind, though. Usually, I let her keep one Kong inside the house, so she has something to lug around with and to show me when she wants to play. Trust me, I rather have her show me the Kong to play with than have her crawling all over me. She is kind of big.
Tonight, after I finished making dinner, I brought the left over vegetable stuff to my rabbits. I had the door between the living room and the garage open for just a little while, but I just found out that it was long enough for Aagje to bring both her other Kong and the large rope inside. All three of them are neatly piled up on her cushion. Gotta love her.
Hours of fun for my dog
Recipe:
- One large Kong,
- About 250g of diced chicken filet,
- A freezer.
Combine the first two, put the result in the freezer for a night and Aagje has hours of fun!
