Walk and Drop

Dave · Enlightened One

yeah Ivor does that, like he's trying desperately to get away from it before it's 'left' him, makes picking it up more interesting than usual..

Carol · Master

Whistler does it too. You have to follow the trail to pick it up. Would much prefer to follow a trail of sweeties, but no such luck.

Sim sometimes does it - it's like he can't hold on any longer, but still hasn't found just the right spot!

Yeah - it's funny how they've got to find the right blade of grass! Maybe scattering it further means it'll land on the right one. Such a performance sometimes from Vegas - he sniffs, birls round and round, I wait expectantly - no, that's not the right spot - move on another 2 yards, yes maybe this is it, birl clockwise and then anti-clockwise, squat and inch forward while squatting! It must be of monumental importance where it has to land!!

dave (the dog) doesn't wander about while he's doing it but he needs to find the right bush - it simply has to be the prickliest one in the gardens - then he heaves a back leg over it to get the right position ! amazing. dunno how he doesn't do himself a damage !

Lesley · Guru

Yes - that's another strange thing isn't it - the preference for spiky plants.

It does make collection trickier - when it is perched on the top of marsh grass!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad you said "Dave (the dog)"!! Things could get awful, awful embarrassing for Dave, the man!!!!

Hi,

Just to say foster dog Trei loves to back up to a bush, shrub, tree trunk etc which makes things a a wee bit difficult with the poly bags. Does it mean he is being discrete or is it a safety thing - can get attackled from behind when he is incapacitated as it were.

Mick on the other hand - likes a bit of cover, and has favourite spots.

The girls are not fussy one way or the other - but they are Glasgow Girls!

ps my previous lurcher type girl would only go in rough grass - never on mown stuff.
