Animals in your garden

[Sean Regan]

Animals taking different walks reminds me of my parents' Scottie dog they had fifty years ago.

He had three different walks he liked, short, medium, or long.
Each was in a different direction. When my dad came out of the house with the dog each day. The dog chose which walk he wanted. If my dad didn't want the one the dog chose, nothing would make the dog go in any other direction. He'd just roll over and lay on the ground until my dad took him the way he wanted to go.

It always amuses me when the animals manage to train their human pets.

We had a miniature poodle when we were in our twenties. He was very intelligent.

First thing in the morning, he needed a coffee before going out in the garden for a pee.

He was really tough, not frightened of anything. He loved going to the dog groomers for his "puppy cut," every few months.

We only had one child at the time and he could walk by the time he was a year old. From the age of two, my wife took him shopping several times a week in his push chair. The dog went too.
But he liked to walk. So he'd want to get out of his push chair frequently.
When he got out, the dog got in.
