Fishing, Anyone ?

Feb 21, 2009 16:03

I know how to get her attention. All I have to say is, "Do you want to go see the fish?", and she is on full alert. Except for the vibrating tail, she is motionless, head cocked to one side, ears perked straight up, eyes boring into mine. Did she hear right? Had she heard the majic word: fish? Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. She is practically at the ( Read more... )

This is hilarious! jessibud February 22 2009, 00:14:36 UTC

We used to have to spell T-R-E-A-T-S and W-A-L-K with our dog or he'd practically go nuts in anticipation.

They are so silly! And funny!

I know exactly what you mean. We laugh everytime we find ourselves spelling in front of her.
Everytime we say 'she' or 'her', her face turns towards us. The assumption if, of course, there couldn't possibly be another 'she' or 'her' in the world.

She is just the best! I adore her. She just turned four in Jan. (She's been with us since she was about 22 months old.)

Love the idea of a fish video. Will have to look for one.
Lizzie absolutely loves PetsMart. We've done all of her training there. A very good friend of mine, a dog trainer, gives classes at one of the PM facilities. Lizzie loves classes so she connects PM with fun times and FISH !!

Smart Pets go to Pet Mart !!! maybe we are on to something here ?

Love that. What a fabulous ritual.

There are videos you could get-my friend's cats used to be mesmerized by a video she had for them of squirrels squirreling around in their burrow-but your Petsmart trips sound like a lot more fun.

Fancyhorse mentioned the videos too. Will have to look for one.
Lizzie's second favorite activity is looking out the window for lizards; I've placed a trunk infront of a low window just for her viewing pleasure. She'll come and get me - literally - she'll lead the way and then want me to crouch next to her (I'm on the floor) and "hunt" with her. She's quite a character.

LIzzie is the coolest! sherria February 22 2009, 20:10:05 UTC

What a neat thing to do with her. :) I used to have fish and none of my dogs ever paid any attention to them. Lizzie is special!

You are kind to use the word special. Quirky might be more accurate !!
