My two pugs are terrible on walks. They're constantly running around each other and then behind and around me so their leashes get nice and tangled. And if there's a lamp post in our path, you can be sure that they'll want to go in different directions around it. Sunny's also a fan of just planting her bottom when she doesn't want to move and Rosy loves to lunge towards things she loves/hates. Sigh.
But my walks with them are still some of my favorite moments of the day! (Except during Hurricane Sandy - that was no fun for any of us.)
P.S. The eyes are a bit wonky here because my pen decided to die on me and the nib disappeared into the pen. Time for new art supplies!
My friend purchased a an adjustable dog coupler. I was able to walk my pug and her corgi-mix without getting tangled up. I highly recommend it!
ReplyDeleteAgree... get a splitter. http://www.amazon.com/Guardian-Gear-Medium-Coupler-12-Inch/dp/B002FW5C2M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382638929&sr=8-1&keywords=leash+splitter
ReplyDeleteI have one too. It doesn't completely prevent them getting hung up - any pole or tree in their path, they have to go around it one on each side - but it helps a lot!
ReplyDeleteAgain, I say, you have my pups, exactly.
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo fun to see your wonderful drawings and notes because, honestly, this is exactly -- exACTly -- what my two pugs do. And usually one does the butt-plant at the precise moment the other does a run-lunge. Pugs! Good thing they're so gosh darn adorable.
ReplyDeleteThis is SO cute!
