Nudge was supposed to be my helper - I planned to demonstrate some acupressure points on him, and of course he is a great example of a healthy, raw-fed dog. This morning Nudge and I went over to Lorna's for a trial run. I wanted to make sure my slides work on her computer - they do. I thought it might be good for Nudge to get used to a strange house so he wouldn't be overly excited tomorrow.
Nudge pooped on Lorna's carpet. Yes he did. He has never, ever done such a thing - well maybe when he was an eight-week old puppy, but even then only once. I was horrified. Then he bounced on and off Lorna's lovely sofa (he is allowed at home - so I can't blame him for that), but still it wasn't very good behaviour, so we let him out in the fenced yard. Nudge loved this - lots of room to run at top speed -while Lorna and I went back into the house and closed the screen door. Well you can see what is coming next. Still at top speed, and never having encountered a screen door before, the poor little dog hit the screen head first and bounced back a foot or so. He had such a shocked look on his small face. Try as I might I couldn't help laughing.
Tomorrow, Nudge stays at home with a big Kong, stuffed with frozen pumpkin and cream-cheese.
The medicine bags are finished. This one is from a Samoyed Dog.
