He Just Wants To Say “Hi!”

Tracy found a great article by Suzanne Clothier called ‘He Just Wants To Say “Hi!”‘ after we got home from an “observation” session with a dog trainer the other night with our border collies Tucker and Grace.

It is quite a long post, but I think every dog owner should read this article. Here the gist in one sentence from the author:

“My experience has been that it is owners of breeds considered non-aggressive that cause the most problems in dog-to-dog interactions simply by being unaware that their dog is rude.”

Tucker would stay outside all day in the snow if we’d let him! Funny that inside the house we think he is so clean and white – that is until you see him against the pure white snow!

Grace has managed to find every toy we forgot to pick up before it started snowing. We’ve had about 10 inches in the past two days here in Fairport, NY. Both Grace and Tucker LOVE the snow!

Maxine says, “Are you serious?”


Are you serious?, originally uploaded by sailorbill.

No, I’m not going to write about every snowflake, but last night was our first measurable snow. In the Village of Fairport, NY we received about 4 inches and they are calling for 2-4 more. Lake effect snow, “they” say.
