NO.

[bunn]

I do not want to go home.  I shall make myself very very heavy.

No.

No.

Well, when you put it like that... But no.


I usually overcome this with a combination of cajoling, patience, bribery and when all else fails, dragging.  Dragging is hard work.

This made me LOL loudly. That dog is hilarious. When I had my dog Ben he hated to come home and lay depressed all day on the sofa, only coming 'alive' when out round the park, so in the end I realised it's not the length of time we were out, it was the going out, so I changed it to 5 / 6 'quick round the park' walks a day rather than 2 longer walks. Anticipation is everything. :D

Ooh, that's clever!

But did you not find that 6 'time to go home nows' in a day was a problem?

Well, it was easy for me being a lady of leisure, I had it easy at that time. Ben's gone now. :( Come to think of it, it was more like 4 or 5 times a day...I used to walk him before breakfast before lunch before dinner before bed and one other if he was lucky and also if I popped out anywhere...he was my shadow. I miss him loads. Dogs are the best.

Oh you mean, telling the dog it was home time? Well, he did used to drag his feet... :D He'd be depressed by the time we got to the front gate.
