I had trouble with this post. Maybe it’s because I’m just so close to making that two-year goal (eleven days) or maybe it’s because most of our dog walking takes place at night which to me equates to BORING.
It’s Tasty Tuesday, but I got nothing for Tasty Tuesday with the exception of adding on to last week’s post about Banana Chips.
There’s a bonus to using Banana Chips for training your dog. If you get hungry on the trail you have something to eat.
Which is what I did last night. 🙂
But siriusly, you can’t make a post about eating Banana Chips. (Okay, I lied, some of you actually could write a post about eating Banana Chips.)
I turned to my photos for inspiration and found some photos I took a few weeks ago.
Back Story
When I was kid we had a friend around the corner with a dog named Patrick. I’m not exactly sure what kind of dog Patrick was, but I do know one thing.
Patrick was a great dog for kids, because he was easy-going, friendly and walked well on a leash.
But there was another reason we really loved Patrick.
Patrick LOVED the flashlight!
We had so much fun walking that dog at night using the flashlight, as he would chase it this way and that and we would roar with laughter.
Flash Forward
It’s not quite as funny as an adult when you have a dog obsessed with reflections.
It doesn’t matter how big, or how small. If it’s on the ceiling, the floor or the wall.
Somehow Delilah always sees it and once she does, it’s game on.
In this particular photo I had set my laptop down on the floor and the sun was hitting the screen just right, throwing a reflection up on the ceiling.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a fun game if there wasn’t some noise involved. So she barks and runs back and forth trying to figure out how to get the elusive reflection.
And once you remove it….
She waits, patiently watching for it to appear again.
When reflections happen frequently she becomes really obsessed.
There was actually a period of time when we couldn’t eat in the dining room because the light reflecting on the silverware would make her bark and jump around.
Delilah barking and jumping around made hubby yell, “Delilah! Lay down!”
Hubby yelling “Delilah! Lay down!” made my inner bitch roll her eyes and say, “Stab him with something.”
Thank goodness I rarely listen to my inner bitch.
Since we’ve always liked watching TV while we’re eating, we just sit on the couch.
It’s easier.
Do you have a dog obsessed with anything? How do you manage it?
