Malu's trip to the park

Show Off Your Dog
  • Last week, I took Malu up to a local public park in the city. I try and take him to a lot of public places so he gets to meet lots of new dogs and people. He even meet his first toddler. I was curious to see how he would react to a small child. He didn't know what to do with her at first but was very curious and slowly warmed up to her. She kept trying to tickle him :). He is still very cautious around new people (especially men) but after he sniffs them out he's OK warms up quickly.

  • such adorable wrinkles! And beautiful eyes.

  • Lovely pics of Malu, i love his face.
    It's a great idea to take them as many new places and meet all different types of people and animals when young.

  • How adorable..Lovely little face. Socializing them is so good to do..

    Pippin goes with me everywhere, to the hardware store, picking the kiddos up from school..next we are taking him to the movies, although only a drive-in theater..it will be very different and new for him, thus good to do..

  • THat is great advice. Now is the time, when he is still a puppy. Take him with you wherever you can. All sorts of different places with all kinds of noises, and encourage all kinds of people to pet him, specially children!!

  • I'm with Petra - it's such a good idea to get them used to everything - people, kids, sights, sounds….

  • WANT! :) Okay, not really. I love my Nayru and Batman, but oh that face. Those wrinkles!

  • His eyes are so so so pretty, love the bottom picture

    Yes, Bungwa will toss any of his toys into the air and catch them but definitely will not catch anything I throw. He has no competition because the others just look and say 'Boooring'!!! Interesting about your best hunters being fetchers, Quercus. I wonder if there's a reason in it or whether it's a coincidence!?

    Sounds good! I'll check w/the vet, it soundslike putting super glue in cracks on feet and hands. I'll also look into something to keep him warm. I used to guide down in s Utah. I love that area. Everything east of Capital Reef onto the eastern slopes of Boulder Mt. Kicked around in the San Rafael Swell and down s Cedar Mesa during my off time. Beautiful area. Thanks agan. Greg

    @AJs: It's just AJ and I. He's great. Only time I've had a problem with him waking me up was when he was sick with the runs for three days. He would whine to wake me up and go outside. Been there, done that. Gotta love those 3 a.m. wake-up calls, especially when its freezing outside.:)
