Hooligans

Meet my newest clients Tre & Kobe:I have ridiculous stories about these dogs every day I see them. It is hard to know where to begin. So I'll start with Tre:

Look at that smile! Tre is eight years old and all puppy. When people ask (and they always ask) and I tell them he's eight, they just don't believe it. They think he can't be more than two. He's always bounding around, acting goofy. Tre's favorite thing right now is goose poop. Our usual route takes us around a lake in the neighborhood that is full of geese right now. He's not interested in the geese at all... just their poop. At first I thought maybe someone had been out feeding the geese and he was scarfing up some leftover bread crumbs, but no, he was scarfing up poop. Tre is now kept on a very short leash around the lake to prevent the poop eating!!!

Next up is Kobe:
He may look tough, but this guy is a big ol' softie. The only time he puts on his tough-guy face is when another dog is around. Then he has to let them know that he is king of this neighborhood. Otherwise, he's usually just begging for belly rubs:
Usually people shy away from Kobe, because he does have a tough exterior. One day last week, while making our way around the lake, a gal who was jogging slowed down and asked if Kobe was friendly. I said he was, she knelt down to say hello, and Kobe literally covered her in kisses. I think she was probably looking for a hand shake, and what she got was a make out session. Yep, he's friendly alright.

I love going out with these two because it never fails: people always comment. Some of my favorites include:

"Why do you need a wolf to protect you?"

"Who's running who???"

"Aren't those dogs a little big for you?"

The fun never stops when I'm with these two! They love to exercise and cause a scene at the same time. Every time I'm out with them I'm truly reminded how lucky I am to do what I do.

If you have a big dog (or a little one!) that needs some exercise, check out Four Paws Dog Running for more information on what we can do for you.
