My Sight Hound Demanding After Breakfast Cuddles, Massage And Tea ASMR

My wife says I spoil our dogs and this is Bree. It may be true but I think a lot of it is down to the clever doggie manipulation from the hundreds of thousands of years Homo Sapiens and dogs have been cohabiting. If you look into the eyes of a Wolf there is just death and it seeing you as a food source there is no emotion in their eyes, looking back. But pet dogs have developed eye muscles and facial muscles not dissimilar from our our, and they have become genetically predispose to use them to manipulate us. Take my sight hound Lurcher (Greyhound Saluki Cross) Bree, she won me over with her eyes and the help me Human Baby style whimper the first time I met her. She also has a bag of other psychological weapons, I mean look at those eyes and that please help me look. Now Bree or I have developed a morning routine, I get up make my breakfast then make theirs, then share the remainder of my Rice Krispies with Bree and Skippy, then let them out and then reward them when they come in with an extra recent reward for Clean Feet (letting us clean them). Then I take my cup of tea into the living room with the dogs to watch some 'Curse of Oak Island' or 'How Its Made'. Its at this point things get more interesting as Bree goes from being docile to being in charge and starts demanding cuddles, strokes and a massage. Now everybody knows that Dogs Can't Talk but I think Bree really does make similar sounds and noises when she wants to make herself understood, see what you think. I have not manipulated Bree's sound but I have been a bit adventurous with my interpretation of what she says, but some of the time she's vocalising or should I sat talking, I think its pretty obvious the meaning if not the words. Don't be tempted to quit at the start it gets progressively better as she gets progressively more demanding and forceful, and refuses to let me off the hook. So dogs owners have your amazing dogs manipulated you into such routines? Do you stand firm against them? or melt like ice cream on a hot day LOL I hope you like the video, and you find it as de-stressing and relaxing as Bree and I.

Bree Recovering Well

Bree is recovering well from her collision with the corner of our paving stone step near the garage, the hole, op and the stitches.  Skippy our tripod rescue Lurcher with his missing back leg and she are forever chasing each other around and wrestling ( it's a greyhound, saluki and lurcher thing). They also like necking each other and tripping each other up by grabbing each other's legs. Unfortunately the speed they can move and maneouvor at, means it can result in injury if they get caught at the wrong time i.e. Going up steps.

When they aren't chasing around sounding like an attacking ferocious dogs but not leaving a mark, they spend their time wrapping themselves around each other and us.  In fact their play fighting reminds me of the Saturday Wrestling Matches that used to be on UK TV on Saturdays when I was a kid, all play acting bluster and aggression with the winner decided in advance ;-)

Bree and Skippy Snuggling UP To Me On My Bed

latest antics

No sooner have I posted this video but he's been at it again. What gets me is his cunning, tonight I was about the let our other rescue dog Bree out for last night ablutions, when he barged past, so I let him out, being new we've had the occasional accident. He came back quickly and I took Bree out, she is more lady like and takes her time to select a spot. When I brought Bree in I heard a rustling, and found he'd pushed aside a heavy trolley to get to a counter and stole a packet of Quaver chips of a high shelf, torn the packet open and was eating them. If I didn't know better I'd say he planned it ;-) or am I anthropomorphising things LOL #fixed1tRESCUEdogs

My Recue Dog Skippy And The Mysterious Back Pack Raid

This video is about My Recue Dog Skippy And The Mysterious Back Pack Raid

Skippy is a LURCHER a Greyhound/Saluki Cross around 11 months old, he was mistreated and thrown out of a moving vehicle and hit by a car. This resulted in his Left Back Leg being amputated.  We met him on his first ever walk and decided to take him home for a trial.  We love him and he likes sparing and racing with our other 3 year old rescue lurcher Bree.  He is into everything, but as I discovered you can't leave him near even hidden food for a second.

He is sweet and really cheeky as you'll see.

Newly Adopted Rescue Hound Having A Celebration Of His Own

Its official, we've adopted another rescue dog I've called Skippy, he was formally known as Prince, but as he has 3 legs and bounces along happily like Skippy The Kangaroo I've renamed him. So just like the mischievous Skippy, you won't believe how he chose to celebrate the event LOL  

Even Inspector Jacques Clouseau Could Solve My Dog Bree's Latest Crime

Even Inspector Jacques Clouseau Could Solve My Dog Bree's Latest Crime

Whilst I was out watching and videoing Debbies participation in the Rock Chorus Choir charity concert, Bree decided to do some sniffing around for food and treats. This is a common condition for Rescue Dogs, but she not too good at hiding the evidence of her antics.  But we love her anyway.

My Dog Bree 1st Time Off Her Dog Lead At UK Rock Beach Cornwall

We've been working with Bree in Paddocks since we got her 7 months ago to try and get her to walk, off lead.  As we were on Rock Beach a few days ago we thought its now or never, so we let her go.

Toddler Oliver Befriending My Dog Bree With Snacks

This video is about Toddler Oliver Befriending My Dog Bree With Potato Snacks

As the relationship has grown between Olli and Bree that are becoming increasingly inseparable, this is reinforced by Olli whose current catch phrase is "Share Malcolm" sharing his food and snacks with Bree. Surprisingly for a dog, Bree is not at all possessive about her food and you can stand over her, touch it, take it away and she makes no fuss or complaint.  But she will steal is back surreptitiously at the first opportunity.

My Dog Bree - The Bed SAGA

My Dog Bree - The Bed SAGA.  Do you think Bree is taking liberties or is it just me? Was it giving her the socks or the jacket or the fact that she look like Dobi with my coat on?

Sight Hound Off Lead or Leash Training - Part 3 Progress

My third session with Bree in the Paddock went really well, I think we both throughly enjoyed it as can be seen from the video. She definitely needs this, as you can see from the video, when she goes she's very very fast. Malcolm aka #fixed1t

Sight Hound Off Lead or Leash Training - Part 2

Bree our sight hound Lurcher really wants to be off the lead/leash at times, so we'll stick with the training in the Paddock we found until it works or the paddock becomes occupied.  This is the 2nd hour of training and shows why she needs it and can't be let off the lead/leash just yet.
