Ha it is part of the routine. His nails grow so fast it’s insane with the onset of kidney/liver disease. I mean they already grew fast before but with the internal struggles they’re going nuts now.
Is the shore lined with bully sticks and obese elderly squirrels?
Wailea's buddy, Willie. Named after Willie Nelson. I can see the resemblance. Such a sweet little guy.

I had 2 labs that would eat the green beans and peas off of the vine. They loved cherry tomatoes also.

So far the only thing she doesn’t like is carrots.
We are lucky we don’t have a garden
What do you do with a fetch and water obsessed dog? Dock dogs at Brown Dog University!

That is awesome!
Nice and cool, now!Rigby was an LA street dog and I didn't think he'd ever seen a river until I bought him to one this spring. He's not entirely sure about the water but he's coming around to the idea that it's nice and cool

has been reluctant about water; like baths and her water trough pool. Last week I took her out fishing on a beautiful small creek where I've caught a number of native CCT to 10".
I parked the car and we headed off into the woods generally following a GPS route in the direction of the creek. Cali led the way and I would give her course corrections her like we're strolling through the woods at home. She's quite good at finding game trails through the thickest brush. When we finally got to the creek she stopped; hesitant to get into the water.
I got my pre-rigged my T-rod out, stepped into the water and started fishing the small run into the log jam, and the maybe 3' deep pool under it. Found no fish so I started working my way upstream. She gingerly stepped into the creek. She likes climbing on the glacial erratic boulders at home and climbed up onto the logjam. She was getting into some loose stuff so I called her to me. As she was making her way back off to me she slipped and fell into the pool on her back and went completely under. She immediately shot back up and out of the pool! From that point on she followed me in the creek but stayed close and was less adventurous.
As I crossed the creek next to a 5' deep pool she began trotting back and forth along the bank barking at me so I found her the shallowest place to cross and called her to me.
About 2 hours and a mile later I had encountered no fish and it was time to head back. I directed Cali to intercept our track back to the road. No fish that day, but a pleasantly warm day of wet wading in a lovely creek for the first time with Cali.
