Before starting on those pictures here is the reason I think Coco is just lazy about not walking. Coco Eating while standing up.
She will take one or two steps after eating before flopping back down and dragging the old hindquarters.
Now for the good stuff. Fall is officially here. in fact it was almost arctic out there this morning. Temos were way down in the sixties. (Get them jackets and long undies out!) The low temps were aggravated by a strong north wind. I tried to capture the wind blowing the trees, but still pics don't work well for that.
The dogs seemed strangly envigorated by the frigid temps and had a wonderful romp this morning.
Even the older dogs were more active playing than usual.
However even the younger dogs wore themselves out.
After doing our work we took the dogs out for another romp in the afternoon. The first pic shows Inky running toward me. What is unusual about this picture is that when Inky first came here, she would not stay in the same room I was in. When we went outside like today, she would hide in one of the side allies if I was out.
Cheryl threw the ball for the dogs that play ball. Can you tell from their intent looks which dogs are the primary ball players?
Here is Prince getting a "grounder."
Prince again getting the ball in spite of the pass interferance from Inky and Apache.
This was Prissy's ball, but she didn't chase it so Prince was allowed to make a valiant late attempt to catch the ball.
Here is a close up of the attempt.
Shortly after that we went back inside. You have heard of the peid piper of Hamlin, well here is our version.
We will end as we began with a picture of Coco. Paying the price of her refusal to walk on all fours.
