The Day the Dog Ate His Leash
If I wrote kid books, I could probably make a cool story out of this. But I don't. So I won't.
But, yes, sweet little Arf downed that sucker as if it were a burger and he was coming off a two-day drunk. All six feet of it.
He's fine, none the worse for wear. And doggie training goes on. But now he's wearing an old, beat to hell PINK nylon leash instead of his nice slim leather one that matched Woof's.
So speaking of wildlife, Sunday we went here:
And saw this:
And this:
And this:
And more.
My life is a zoo.

Karen - You don't know what you're missing, LOL :)
Ostriches can be mean suckers. One tried to peck its way into my car on one of those drives. Beautiful photos!
Love the photos.

Mason - Boy, is that the truth.
Glad you enjoyed the photos.
Angela - I don't think I'd like an ostrich on my doorstep. Or maybe I would - a watch-ostrich :) They're huge!
Jennifer - Thanks.
I love ostriches. They look stupid and smart at the same time. Bonus; they're delicious.
Did a B&N book signing in San Antone last year--which is only 90 miles from my in-laws' Beeville home!
It's so nice to meet a fellow Texan--yep, born in a car in Waco...and returned during college days to one of my early homes, the Baylor boys' athletic dorm.
Hope we can become bloggites! When you have time, visit me at www.pattilacy.com/blog!

Helen - Arf and Woof stayed home. So far no ill results - and lots of little pieces.
Patti - "It's so nice to meet a fellow Texan--yep, born in a car in Waco...and returned during college days to one of my early homes, the Baylor boys' athletic dorm." There's bound to be a lotta stories in there somewhere :)
VR - Yes, he ate his leash. I couldn't believe it. We knew about shoes, although he's never eaten one. And socks. Now we'll watch belts, too.
Kathi - Spark plugs? OMG. I can believe it. I have watch Arf eat rocks. The leash shouldn't have surprised me.
Your dog sure can eat some strange items if he ate that much leash! Have you tried giving him a natural treat of deer antler chews? This is 100% natural & comes from SHED deer antler horns so you can buy w/ a clear conscience! They don't splinter & they contain nutrients!
Temps here on Sunday were in the upper 90s. It was hot.

There are a few companies, & you can try calling your local pet stores. These sound like a preferable option to leashes!
I can see why the animals were wading in water if it was almost 100 degrees! That's kinda hot!
Love the pictures. Life is indeed a zoo, but at least we don't have ostriches or emus trying to climb in our cars...yet.
Glad he's OK.
Talli - Yes, in small pieces.
