Hello, I’m Dr. Maja! Read my introduction to study extra about me and my two crossbreed canine, Lava and Hela.
Lava has beloved sticks since being a pup. After all, then she picked those who matched her in dimension. With time she bought formidable and her sticks have develop into even greater than I might have imagined. Her favourite stick, which is longer than she is, is neatly stacked subsequent to her canine home within the yard, and he or she goes again for it every time she’s within the “stick” temper. I assumed I’d share Lava’s stick obsession over time with you, and I’d love to listen to from you when you have a canine who’s obsessive about sticks too (and even when you have one which couldn’t care much less about them!).
Lava as a Pet
We discovered her when she was solely a small pup, and we might inform she could be a complete mischief. Or, at instances, an absolute nightmare of a canine, for the shortage of a greater phrase. However a completely lovable one for positive. She captured consideration anyplace she went, and he or she nonetheless does at 4 years previous. Being a reasonably woman, it’s onerous for her to go unnoticed on our canine walks, particularly when she’s carrying a stick her dimension. In addition to wanting lovable, it has gotten us in just a few pickles over time, as she has no respect for private area, and would usually brush in opposition to different individuals’s legs along with her stick. Most discovered it humorous.
In that first yr, she additionally found that there have been all kinds of sticks, and though dry ones with out leaves have been her favourite, she quickly began chewing on any sticks she might discover. Gardening grew to become a problem as she would take away the sticks from a pile I neatly made, and would go away items all over the place as she chewed them by means of.
Teenage Years
Then she found bamboo sticks. Curiously, all of our earlier canine beloved nibbling on bamboo leaves we’ve got in our backyard, and after I noticed Lava do it for the primary time, I felt this heat inside. Then, bamboo sticks became fun toys to chew on. Lava can be very peculiar about sharing her sticks. She is going to solely do it with canine she is aware of and trusts, and can in any other case attempt to run off along with her stick, which could be harmful for everybody round her, along with her being utterly clueless in regards to the chaos she would create all over the place she went. If we went to a canine park, I’d all the time must maintain an in depth eye on her and throw all of the sticks throughout the fence, as though it might all begin pretty much as good enjoyable, with 3-4 canine pulling on the identical gigantic stick, somebody would all the time get possessive and attempt to declare it for themselves.
It’s Totally different with Hela
Hela has been part of our life for 1.5 years, and Lava has began sharing her favourite stick along with her, which is gorgeous to see. Hela will fortunately take part and the 2 of them play tug of war, with Hela often backing out. I don’t suppose she totally understands the that means the sticks have for Lava, and he or she resorts to her favourite pastime as an alternative: digging holes. Nonetheless, Lava will run round carrying her stick, hoping Hela will chase her.
One other One among Lava’s Unusual Obsessions
In addition to sticks, Lava realized she was actually into fishing nets. Once we took her to the coast with us for the primary time, she wasn’t very eager on the water or the boat rides, however she beloved the fishing internet and every thing that got here with it. This truly made a variety of sense, which I solely realized later, and it was all in regards to the fish. Lava beloved fish and was on a fish-only weight-reduction plan, because of her skin allergies, so the scent of the web should have felt mesmerizing. She would lie and roll in it and had even fallen asleep on high of it. Fortunately she confirmed no intent to chew it, as I might already envision a overseas physique ready to occur. All in all, Lava all the time had a wierd style and awkward hobbies which solely made me love her much more.
