She took off on a deer and apparently while she was off on her little "adventure" - and I was walking around screaming my guts out - she found a dead porcupine to roll in. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, I think I have to agree with you. She deserved it. Hopefully the jacket took some of the intensity out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing: the vet said the coat is toast because it might have quills in it...so we can add a coat to the bill. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikeguy Posted April 5 Share #17 Posted April 5 2 minutes ago, Airehead said: She will be great in about 7 years. About 4 years ago we adopted a 12 year old Jack Russell. After I got the opportunity to chase after him, he has always been on a leash. Did WoBG learn from my mistake. No. She took him outside and he took off on a scent. She only caught him in the woods about 1/4 mile away when he stopped to pee. This was when he was 12. Then I found this... a little Jack Russell is fast on his feet. #7 in this list. https://wagwalking.com/breed/top-fastest-dog-breeds-in-the-world We could go on 6 mile dog walks, he was ready for 6 more. Someone taught him how to heel and walk. He'd always be at my right side. Now at 16 1/2 arthritis has won the battle. . A half mile walk is a long walk now. And he gets carried up and down our stairs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I got the opportunity to chase after him, he has always been on a leash. Since we do a LOT of hiking, I've been working with her off-lead and she's been pretty good. (Apart from EATING ever damned thing she finds). I've been concerned about deer, but I've been ultra-vigilant and up until Saturday, spotted them before she does. Fortunately, she's a sight hound and loses interest in chasing almost as soon as the animal is out of sight. 3 minutes ago, Bikeguy said: Then I found this... a little Jack Russell is fast on his feet. #7 in this list. Yeah, when I was researching Lure Coursing, I was seeing info on what breeds were the fastest. Some were very surprising. 3 minutes ago, Bikeguy said: We could go on 6 mile dog walks, he was ready for 6 more. Someone taught him how to heel and walk. He'd always be at my right side. We did a six mile hike in the Adirondacks last fall and she did probably twice that, chasing chipmunks. She still sat up in the truck all the way home. 3 minutes ago, Bikeguy said: Now at 16 1/2 arthritis has won the battle. . A half mile walk is a long walk now.

He'd just stop and look at me, and we'd turn around. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeguy Posted April 5 Share #19 Posted April 5 2 minutes ago, F_in Ray Of Sunshine said: He'd just stop and look at me, and we'd turn around. Yeah I know that look. A few times he just stops. At least I can carry him. 15 pounds isn't too bad to carry. 6 minutes ago, F_in Ray Of Sunshine said: We did a six mile hike in the Adirondacks last fall and she did probably twice that, chasing chipmunks Our Beagle is like that. Always following a scent. Or looking for a scent to follow. Zooming everywhere. Both dog breeds will follow a scent until they are exhausted. I got opportunity to chase after the Beagle when she was 1. Bella has been on a leash for the last 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted April 5 Share #20 Posted April 5 Ruby is on a leash MOST of the time. I let her off when we are sitting on the patio. Any rabbit chases are usually pretty short. She is just moderately fast (more than fast enough to elude me!), but very nimble in her evasive maneuvers when she does not want to be rounded up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We learned very early that they were never allowed off the leash. We have stories...... most of them involve a young grandchild leaving the door open. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake didn't roll in it, but there's a park we walk that's inhabited by a huge flock of Canada Geese in the Fall and Winter and when they fly overhead at noon it gets as dark below them as dusk. I'm amazed we haven't been bombed by them yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year or 2 ago if we meet an other dog during our morning walk Parker would go into attack mode and fight ANY all dogs. Considering he weighs maybe 16 pounds going after a 100 pound dog didn't seem like a good idea. He didn't care. Parker would be sleeping on the couch, Bella our Beagle would jump up and lay next to him. Parker would start growing and his lips would curl. That hasn't happened in a year now. He just looks at Bella now and lays there. I can't imagine Parker when he was 1 or 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted April 6 Share #27 Posted April 6 I love that neither of our Boston terrorists has ever growled at a human or not really at a dog either - they just bark a lot at them. Quite a difference from our dogs we had growing up, where one even bit my arm because I was eating ham. Thankfully I had a winter coat on. That dog was neurotic.
