Odd things your dog takes for a walk
Discussion
A few years ago now, unfortunately before the advent of camera phones our EBT Eva found a concrete kerb stone in a local brook. It was about 18 inches long and the standard kerb height plus the bit that goes underground - a pretty massive object.
She wanted to take it home. I let her carry it round the park for a while before distracting her with a stick - I think it weighed more than she did!

Candy (Much missed Golden Retriever) would carry bricks/ rocks/ stones with her.
She often swallowed stones or pebbles for unknown reasons
Molly (Black Lab) finds the biggest heaviest branch she can find and will carry it until there is only a small twig left, due to her dropping it and picking up one of the pieces, trying to walk between two walls and snapping bits off etc.

Our Bassett picked up a Matchbox Toyota Hilux monster truck from somewhere. He now keeps it by the front door, takes it on the 1st 100m of his walk, drops it, then picks it up on the way back past to put back by the door. He's had it about a month but I've not seen it since it snowed on Sunday. Hoping reappears when it's all melted.

In our local park there is a white Staffy who turns up with the kids football team. He spends his time sat under a bush chewing a paving slab. Over a couple of months I've seen it go from full size to about 4" square.

I'm sad that my dog doesnt like carrying stuff with him! The strangest thing we have on our walk is the cat coming with us.
We used to have that. I had a Burmise x collie as a kid & she had a kitten. She found it in the farm over the back fence & mothered it, we've even got a pic of the kitten trying to suckle. The cat always came for walks with her.Gassing Station | All Creatures Great & Small | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
