Oh the Places You'll Go and the Things that You'll Do

Like chase after dogs when they go missing. Chula and Antoinette went with their mum for a walk yesterday, and Chula was scared away by a big prey-drivey dog -some dogs NEED leashes pople! So, I just settle down to some much needed ichiban noodles, when the phone call comes in. Okay, no noodles, the homework will have to wait (even longer than it already has) and we'll be out for a few hours hunting, so pack up Beckett -cause he needs a walk-, and ADHD (Aster) cause she's going loonie and also needs a way-. Drive off to Thetis Lake.

Luckily, the minute we pulled up we saw Chula come running for the car. Yeah for dogs recognizing cars! She scared her new mum shitless, but is safe and sound -with the addition of some burrs. Good girl Chula -what could have been hours searching a huge park turned into 5 minutes. I am thankful for small things -thank you whoever is looking over me.

Funnily enough, in the great scheme of things, we brought ADHD (Aster), and this "semi-retarded" dog got some interested from a friend that was helping the search party. So, whose to argue with the way things work? Maybe Chula going missing helps another dog find their forever home? We'll see if she puts in an application ;)

Meanwhile Hank continues to be a joy to have around. He walks fairly well on a leash, although is still excited to meet people and dogs that go by. He doesn't quite understand why he can't stop to say hello to everyone! He also likes to try to chase flying birds. We all have a weird quirk somewhere.

Oh, and Netty has been flirting him up.

ADHD is slowly learning how to be a real dog. Luckily the only dog she's completely obsessed over is Beckett, so she's doing well at daycare. She likes everyone and everything and is eager to be involved in whatever is going on. Suhki is still teaching her, and I'm hoping he teaches her lots before he leaves!

And a few pictures from yesterday.
On the Run.

Handsome Hank. Mum a PB German Shep, I think the dad might have had some Akita in him.
