Kenneth served well. He will always be remembered. Rrrrrodger isn't fairing much better at this stage.
I truly wish I could communicate with my boy better - he still does things I can't understand at all.
Admittedly since his day at daycare on Tuesday he's been a bit more hyper than usual, and we're definitely going through a period of behaviour regressions generally as some behaviours like nipping, lead ragging and sofa eating have reappeared here and there. But today I took him out for his seven hundredth shit of the afternoon... and he walked absolutely beautifully the whole way round, loose lead, loads of sniffies, took treats when other dogs came towards us. Didn't react when an older lady practically threw herself into a nearby bush to get away from him. And then he randomly went totally apeshit at another dog walking nearby for apparently no reason. Admittedly other dog was yelling too so it could be Pod picked up on some doggy beef before I even noticed but what the actual fuck Pod. The people caught in the cross-fire of all this yelling started making chuntering sounds and cats-bum faces. I wanted to shout at them that he's actually a GOOD dog and he's trying really, really hard and his stupid mad brain is still growing.
I've been watching really carefully when he does this and I can't identify a pattern at all. At first I thought it was Frenchies, then black dogs, then fluffy dogs but it isn't. In fact, the dog he screamed at was virtually identical to one he'd passed not moments ago.
Could this maybe be a body language thing? When I see what I think is a regular dog walking towards us is Pod's perception so different to mine that he sees the equivalent of a beered up, shirtless man on a stag do, yelling 'Lads, lads, lads!' and it puts him on his guard?
Or, and I fear this might be the case, is Pod the problem? He's just been screaming through the conservatory window at a blackbird in the garden so maybe he's just in a bit of a funny mood.
Look at this asshole.
