Joop's Dog Log - Tuesday May 04

Doing the Dog Thing...
My human takes the wrong direction sometimes. To the park instead of into the field.
To the shopping center instead of the forest. He can be very stubborn.
But I know tricks to get him on the right track.
Trick 1: I pretend I see something I must chase, and I run around in the bushes
like a mad dog for at least 5 minutes, ignoring his calls till he lures me with a cookie.
Then I return to him, take the cookie and take the lead into the right direction.
If that doesn`t work:
Trick 2: I pretend I see my other human in the distance, and make the same whining noises
that I always make when I really see her come home on her bicycle in our driveway.
My human will think I need to see for myself it`s not her,
and he`ll follow me in the right direction.
If this fails too:
Trick 3: I take on a pose he simply must point his camera at. But before he can focus
I go a little further. And again. And again. Into the right direction. This one always works.
That's how I got him to go on this walk!

Joop, you could be a rocket scientist. They need more dogs at NASA! Well, at least you always look real cute in those photos that you lure your human in taking. Heheheheheh. And your human gets some exercise, too. So, everybody wins!

You are brilliant, Joop. Of that there`s nary a doubt. But, erm, dude, yr human can read, yes? You just might not want to be giving away yr secrets like this. I mean, these are such great tricks, be a shame if he knew what you were doing, wouldn`t it?

You`re very smart Joop!!! I bet that in this picture you`re walking in the forest, thanks to one of your methods above right?? But you`re right!! Sometimes our humans think that just because they love some places, they take us with them thinking that we`re going to like it too.... Well, at least you have those options... forest, fields... I don`t this kind of places here... only roads, and buildings and noisy cars... You`re lucky just to have those places to go once in a while!!! Take care my dear friend!! au au au, Nicki.

Fotolog is so educational. I wish I knew how to write these down. You are a sly little devil, but in this case the end DOES justify the means, yes? - Sarah.

This all sounds very familiar - I like our style! Dutch speaking (English) friends have returned home, but I had a good weekend with them - they like walking! Thanks for the message. Max & Chris
