28. May 2007, 03:51:57 Subject: PLEASE READ...IMPORTANT!!!! If you have any animal that is able to get to your screens in your window..PLEASE take note that they can EASILY go through them!! My husband and I left the house the other day without Damien but we were in Damien's car..(yes he has a his own car,lol) anywho...he knws that when we go somewheer in his car it is either to traing,a walk,or tracking.He was so desperate to come with us that he jumped onto the couch and right through the screen! We had no idea this had happened!! THANK GOD that he wondered into our niehbor's yard and was seen.The nieghbor brought him back over and put him in the garage.Now...German Shepards are naturally cautious of people they don't know well..he knows our nieghbor,but not well...but because of his training and us socializing him since the time he was 6 weeks old..he overcame his cautiousness and went with the nieghbor back to the house.PLEASE DO NOT leave windows fully up if you leave the house..take it from me...they WILL go through them!! 28.

I'm sure the screens would no longer keep insects out, once my girls had their way! Years ago, a friend had a cat that got through a screen window, taking a nighttime plunge from a 3rd floor. (She survived.) 28.

And I just rememberd, this was when I was living at my mam,s and if I was carrying two plates into the dinning room and the door was shut, I just had to say open the door" and she would. She did not like strangers though and we turned the handles upside down to stop her getting in if anyone else was there but of course she could push them up as well as down.28.

May 2007, 06:28:42 Subject: Re: Half German half lab Mousetrap: An incredible swimmer too, he could outlast the ducks AND swim thru ocean tides like a pro  28. May 2007, 06:31:07 Subject: Re: Half German half lab srnity: I don,t think mine appreciated water lol! I took her to the beach at Blackpool once but she would not go near the sea although she enjoyed the beach. 28. May 2007, 06:33:30 Subject: Re: Half German half lab Mousetrap: The trick with him was that we had to be in there with him in order for him to swim all the way out past the breakers  28. May 2007, 06:38:06 Subject: Re: Half German half lab srnity: I am not sure if she would have followed me or let me drown 28. May 2007, 07:28:04 Subject: Re: Half German half lab Mousetrap: I'm working on getting my current "shelter-doggie" (part beagle, part somekindasetter, part collie, maybe?) to swim...she'll go in creeks but if there's a fish, frog, or snake anywhere near her, she's right back out...she's been in the ocean twice, but I had to REALLY coax her to go in with me, and once a wave washed over her, she was again right back out 28.

May 2007, 07:41:17 Subject: Re: Half German half lab Mousetrap: We got her at the age of 6/7ish so teaching her ANYTHING is tough...she won't fetch, hides instead of guarding the house, won't catch a frisbee (but she's really good at eating them), and keeps the neighborhood free of cat poo (yuch)...I'm just trying to find her "talent", I guess |
