my two and i just got back from a walk. part of it is off leash. they found a freshly dead snake and boy, did it stink. they started playing tug with it and i had to use my bare hands to take it away and flight it as far into the brush as i could. snickers started to go after it but she is really good about listening to a firm “no.” rudy had managed to pull off a section as i was taking it away. he was chowing down. i bribed him with a bit of kibble. he didn’t go after it when i flung it. my hand stunk to high heaven till we got home where i could wash it. yeesh. dogs are small, a mini schnauzer and a “bochi” (boston-chi cross), both young too. one year and three years, respectively. great little dogs, and they get on fantastically.
