[nagdu] Playdates

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Cindy.
Maybe your 3 dogs enjoy playing with each other.  And Fisher is older, so
maybe he doesn't care.
Ben doesn't like playing with Krokus at all.  Krokus likes other dogs.  So,
when I met a puppy-raiser, I asked if Krokus could come over sometimes and
play with her pup.  I figured a TSE pup wouldn't attack him, as friends'
pets have sometimes attacked my dogs.  So Krokus gets to play dog games with
the pup, race around, chew on faces, etc, and get some of his young dog
energy out.  And have fun playing with other dogs.  I think it's great! None
of my other dogs really had anyone to play with, and they were OK with that,
but, now I've found someone for Krokus to play dog games with, I'll take
advantage of the opportunity.
Tracy

I must be some kind of mean. I love my dogs and play with them, but I see no
need to get them play dates with anybody else's dogs, to throw parties, or
any of the rest of it. I love them a lot and I have three dogs. Is there
something wrong with me? They aren't kids, they are dogs, and that is my
personal attitude. This is not to say anybody is wrong because they do these
things; I just wonder if somehow I don't give enough care to their needs. I
am serious about this.

Puppy play dates are the best! I had a birthday party for Pascal and Mambo
on Saturday. Their birthdays are 7 weeks apart, so I threw a party for both
in the middle. I invited my friends with guide dogs, and one pet dog. We had
a total of 6 dogs, and everything went great! I think next year I will get a
kiddie pool, I'm sure a lot of the pups will like that.

I asked my puppy-raiser friend about the vest and going out in public.  She
raises for TSE.  She said the pup had a bandana before, but, now she is 6
months old, she has graduated to a vest.  This is like what people said
other schools do.

 

I have the day off, so Krokus had a playdate with her pup.  They had a grand
time, chasing each other, and Krokus had a blast wading in the dog kiddie
pool.

Tracy
