Halloween is fun. Dressing up and decorating is part of the festivities. So is taking photos and movies of our dogs. Some of my board-and-trains revisit me for boarding and boarding-and-updating behaviors. Two very special kids are like my extended family. I’m fortunate to get to see them often.
This year, they stayed with me while their owners had an extended time away. They each learned a trick. Hendrix, the Corgi is a little shy and not all that trustworthy of the world, but he managed to overcome his fears and learn to ring a desk bell.
He also was apprehensive about wearing a decorative Halloween collar, but he put his short-legged big boy pants on, and took it like a Corgi. Then he posed for photos.
Nala is Hendrix’s German Shorthaired Pointer sister. She loves to hunt birds and lizards and the occasional cat. She also learned to bow during her recent trick board-and-train.
Nala is much more outgoing and not only wore the Halloween collar, but posed for a photo while wearing it and doing the bow.
She will be happy to keep her mouth opened, so I can get the treats into her beak faster. 🙂
