With a little one on the way we’re trying to keep the animals as involved as possible. Russ has already tried out the playpen briefly and Corona keeps sniffing everything that we move in.
When we were doing what could be our last photo shoot we had to include our cat and Dogo Argentino in the run. Both were curious but quickly grew impatient - I’m sure it won’t be anything like when we bring home their new brother.
Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well with labour, delivery and introductions.
With a little one on the way things have been quite hectic: sleeping when I can, working, getting the house ready, planning visits, etc and I haven’t been able to update this site much. I promise I will, especially once the baby arrives as we’ll have plenty of introduction videos to show the world.
For now, with Sending You Sammy and Brain Tales - Volume One being my primary focus (except for the growing family, of course) I regret that my time with Corona hasn’t been enough to warrant picture taking but things will get settled somewhat soon, or at least into a bit of a routine again.
This was one team outing Corona, our Dogo Argentino, and the other dogs in our team loved to participate in. We dog owners took our pets, big and small, to the Centennial Dog Park where we battled only mosquitoes.
Although our Dogo Argentino among other dogs were not up to their usual rambunctious selves and we’ll never know why. There was a lot of sniffing, some exploring, many introductions and overall a pretty fun evening.
We now know what works and will have to arrange something again real soon.
From her first attempt to one of her last, Corona, our Dogo Argentino, sure made us laugh on a sunny afternoon at the cottage.
Setting up, for the first time, her complete obstacle course took more time than realizing she just didn’t have the energy to put her all into it. Corona was walked through the weave poles ok, was more than happy to sit at the pause box, quickly trotted through the open tunnel and ecstatic to sit again at the finish line. Only she couldn’t quite bring herself to make it past the first obstacle with gusto.
Catching her many attempts on still and video camera this Dogo Argentino will always be remembered for her jumping ability. Giving her some credit, she did swim tons already that morning and the day before so she was pretty tired. And, as can be our luck, she was vibrant the next day after we took the course down.
Lesson Learned?
Maybe next time we’ll start with the course and reward her with a swim!
