All the dogs are getting a little stir crazy with the intense cold and snow week in and out. The little terrier girls are always obedient and even when having fun outside, come as soon as they are called. Not so with Juliette.
Every day hubby comments on which Juliette he took skiing. the good (obedient) Julie, or the bad, ( running off to parts unknown) Julie. Friday he had the bad Julie, staying loose in the yard, tail wagging, ears flying, running after the birds. Definitely not interested in coming in. She did not stray far, but even the promise of " treats" or dinner could not get her attention.
What a sight though. Makes the heart glad to watch. Happy, chocolate colored dog running through the white, light snow. Ears flying, striking a hunting dog pose, tail going a mile a minute. Doing what she knows how to do, following her nose. The look...The package. The reason i was interested in the breed to begin with.
Julie finally came in, had her meal and snoozed for the rest of the day. I wish she was a little more obedient but in truth she is getting better. Still, we worry about the highway that animals are often drawn to.
We are definitely getting a fence this summer.
