Dear Husband’s out of town again, leaving me in charge of the family hound.
Does she look a tad tense here to you?
She is! Because unlike DH, my favorite walking spots aren’t on suburban sidewalks. Instead, I took her out for a long walk in the wilderness of George Bush Park — which turned out to be a problem for the poor put-upon canine.
Her tail looked like that from the moment we left the paved path until we got back to the car.
Obviously she needs to get out more, eh?
She doesn’t look ‘tense’ to me at all! But, she looks very sad. “Where’s daddy?” she’s asking.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a lab with a tail tucked under quite like that! I agree, getting her out and off the sidewalks sounds like a good idea. . . who knew?
LOL!!!! Goldenrod, to me, those eyes are saying, “Mom, this really is not where I want to be right now…”.
Pam — who knew indeed! I’ll have her back out there tomorrow, too, I think. It can only be good for her (as long as she doesn’t stumble across any cottonmouths…)
Wimpy dog.
Update: I took her back out to GBP this morning — she did MUCH much better! In fact, we were hiking for nearly 3 hrs, and I had her off the leash for most of that time.
I guess there’s hope for her yet!
