FRIDAY NIGHT DOG BLOG – “MUTTS” AND OTHER MATTERS

Our household has long adopted the policy of adopting stray dogs as pets.

That stray dog policy is how the freedom seeking Cooper found his way into our front yard. We had to save him from his own sense of adventure. (I suspect now the reason that Cooper was getting out was that he was hungry, and there were various houses he could go for a feed.) I could of course always appreciate the immediate, but the policy is founded in a more informed sensibility than mine. Yet while Cooper has made our house his “second” home, although he has been also adopted by others, this accommodation is not without tensions.

Thus the question arises of two into three – won’t go?

Cooper, despite his obvious Stafford Terrier credentials, is closer to his wolf ancestors than the others. He ululates(howling with a rising and falling pitch) sometimes at night:

But who said three dogs cannot get along, even if two are easier to manage:

Finally here is a song for Cooper, and all inspired with his spirit. If I am not mistaken Sasha and Dexter are singing along with the chorus:

(I liked this clip better.)

 

With our tongues out, and our tails moving, at this late hour we are running to catch Friday Ark, at Modulator, before they sets sail.
