Do any of you have dogs that seem to have the need to walk with something in their mouth all the time?!
Nicki sent me a blanky from the NESSR rescue ( :hug: ) which Kosmo has really taken a liking to. He will trot with it ALL OVER THE HOUSE in his mouth. Then when we get ready to leave, guess what is in his mouth? He's like a kid who can't go without his blanket!!
Then when we get home from work and let him out he usually grabs a nylabone or his kong and hops around the yard with it. Oh yeah and he also wees while holding it! It's hillarious looking.
Whenever we go on a walk he most ALWAYS finds sticks and walks with them for at least half of the walk before finally giving up intrest and moving onto something else (like the dead toad this morning :yuk: ) So what is it that brings the need for them to carry something with them wherever they go? Is it because spaniels are a hunting breed so he feels comfortable with taking sticks? It cracks me up when he does this. So far he only carries them sideways which I keep a close eye on so he doesn't choke but I kind of like the stick idea. At least if he's walking with a stick he's not eating something else!!
