Operation Sow's Ear to Purse 4: The Dogs Have Not Read the Book!

[bunn]

Duke is doing a pretty nifty sit now:

 
but he is still a bit confused by the idea of doing it outside the house.  He's quite relaxed and has a nice smile:


The Honking Geese arrived, so I went out to an enclosed out of the way spot to try getting him to chase them. This did not go as well as I had hoped.  First Az took the goose  and Duke ignored it. 



I rushed about a bit playing with geese, and managed to interest another dog. Sadly, it was again the wrong dog.

I tried attaching one of the geese to the flexi lead so I could make it go really fast!
But it was ignored until I started to pick the geese up, which got the prey drive of a ferocious beast going.   Unfortunately, it still wasn't the ferocious beast I was aiming for!  Duke just wanted a cuddle more than a goose.

Oh dear! Duke does look a lovely dog though so hopefully everything will work out for him.

LOL Duke has such a martyred expression in that last shot...

It's a hard life, living with two such frivolous and disgraceful old dogs... :-D
