The Language of Pooch.
Today, Phoenix met Indi again. Phoenix is under socialised with other dogs and hasn’t learnt canine body language/etiquette yet. She has the rather unfortunate habit of staring dogs directly in the eye, which is a bit of a no-no. So, spending six hours with Indi was useful because she was taught a few things about hanging out with her compadres.
Some canine dos and don’ts. (OK, mainly don’ts)
DON’T climb on top of a larger, slightly grumpy dog who happens to be lying down at the time.
DON’T bite the tail of a larger, slightly grumpy dog who happens to be lying down at the time.
DON’T stare at a larger, slightly grumpy dog who happens to be lying down at the time, she will just ignore you, or get up and walk away, then ignore you leaving you slightly bewildered.
DO take notice when another dog growls at you, it probably means trouble.
The Joy of Chicken Wings…
Meeting Indi.
This was the day that Phoenix met Indigo – Tim’s mother’s blue rescue Greyhound – as well as Tim’s mother herself! Phoenix was fantastically excited and tried to goad Indi into playing with her, sadly to no avail. Indi was very patient and long suffering as Phoenix romped all over her and it became a valuable early lesson in canine etiquette for the eager pup…
Phoenix flipped into seeing the outdoors as an adventure playground full of untold pleasures and sensory delights today, no longer afraid of the space around her.
Phoenix woke twice in the night and we took her out to go to the loo. Otherwise sleeping through to 7.00am without any problems. She’s sleeping in the bedroom with us (in her own crate, we’re not that soft) and finds the sound of our breathing comforting.
We started to introduce the raw diet to Phoenix today. She had her first chicken wing in the evening which she found to be the most exciting thing she had ever encountered. She was thrilled with it and demolished it over 25 minutes looking very pleased with herself as a result.
