Smell the Roses?

Pax’e tries to make the best of out New York City spring in Central Park under the cherry blossoms.

We have all heard the saying, “Stop and smell the roses…”

It’s not an easy thing to do during Covid-19 quarantine. So, Pax’e tried to make the best out of New York City spring in Central Park.

Pax’e waxes poetic in canine haiku

Are these rose petals?
No, only cherry blossoms
and these will do. Woof!!!
Pax’e thinks pink is her color!

Special Events?

May all your dog’s poops be special events!

Because dog walking is the primary activity I have these days during our Covid-quarantine, I notice more things…

When walking a dog in New York City there are moments when we are grateful or even excited when our dog finally makes their poop, usually after several blocks of sniffing.

And, I am as much a fan of putting a positive spin on things as the next guy.

But…

When the NYC sanitation department thinks my dog’s poop earns the “special events” designation…

…I have to wonder about the state of things…

May all your dog’s poops be special events!

The Three Colors of Goldens

Recently I was able to wrangle three Golden Retriever puppies to compare and contrast their differing colors.

For some time, I have noticed Golden Retrievers are turning up in some very different colors.

Until now I have not had all three colors in the same class.

However, in a recent Basic class I was able to wrangle three Golden Retriever puppies to compare and contrast their differing colors.3 Goldens 2

Notice (from left to right) Tucker-the-Cream, Redgie-the-Red, and of course Willow-the-Golden.

My question is, in the future will we be looking at a true color split in this breed like we see with Labs? Will we be making similar designations for Goldens just like we do for Labs?3 Goldens 3

  • Chocolate Lab
  • Red Golden
  • Yellow (I prefer Vanilla) Lab
  • Cream Golden
  • Black Lab
  • Golden Golden

We will probably have to wait a decade or two before we know how this is going to turn out.

Enjoy!

What’s Pax’e Saying?

Desperate to play ball, Pax’e dropped the tennis ball on the sleeping cat, Freya.

Here’s some things Pax’e might be saying. Reply below to let me know your vote, or make up your own…

  • You throw it. I go get it. How hard can this be???
  • What’s wrong with dog slobber – the humans don’t mind.
  • Okay, so just swat at it if you can’t actually throw it.
  • If it were a mouse, you’d swat at it.
  • Just throw it! For the love of dog, just throw it!
