Great work @AitchI'm amazed at how many said yes. I loaded them up with treats and explained what I wanted. At first Toby lunged and barked so the guy just threw down treats, took his jacket off and laid it near the treats. Toby went to the treats and after went to sniff the jacket. There were a few false starts but after a few goes he got the idea and would approach the hi viz demon slowly, looking for treats. By the time I had taken him around a couple of times he was allowing them to pet him still with them wearing their jackets. I will do this over the time they are around until I am able to get him to look for treats when he sees these jackets.
You need to come back to Cornwall for a weekend where I'm NOT spending the whole of it crying on your shoulder about what to do about Toby! May be a little more relaxing for you...though I sure do appreciate the well-timed shoulder!Jeez..but my eyes are leaking...wonderful! I still can't quite believe that @Emily_Babbelhund actually pulled this off, after all the tears and worry she went through...![]()
Yes, and poor Alex, his involved the van breaking down in the middle of France, and then having to be transported the rest of the way in the back of a van with no windows. Poor doggiesAlex, "Me too! And then a long drive!"
But it was just temporary and a much better life was waiting. I do imagine them thinking, "What the heck?" while it was happening, though!Poor doggies![]()
Oh yes, they are still conversing at illegal decibel levels.Are they still 'discussing' at such high decibel levels? If yes, add that as another feather in your sainthood cap. Wow, they were loud.![]()
I'm not sure whether it's the yumove or the shorter walks but he is so much better. He is a lovely, happy little soul now.Wonderful update, @Aitch - I love how you've discovered Toby's carrot fetish. How is he doing with his soreness now?
