Dogs

in #dogs5 years ago






Many a household with sustainably minded people in it also has a dog. Or two.

Some dogs are working dogs, protecting livestock, herding sheep and all that good stuff.

Others have little dogs who like to sleep all day, bark at night when the owners want to sleep and know how to bring a lot of dirt into the house.

Ours fits into the later category. We used to have tow dogs - both rescues from a neighbor who was a bit abusive towards his animals.

Boya, the Minpin, was a very useful dog. She hunted rats, dug up gophers and ate them, fought with possums, and would even go after skunks and raccoons if I let her.

She sadly got run over by a car last year. We still miss her a lot.

BB on the other hand, is true to her breed. She is a companion dog, a Pomeranian. They were bread to sit on couches and look cute. She likes that lifestyle, but here, on the urban homestead, she doesn’t get to do that.

She does get her dainty little feet dirty (and herself as well). There are days where there is no choice but to give her a bath. Of course, there is no better place than the garden to do this.

Enjoy some pics of Miss BB getting a bath today :) #dogs #garden #share2steem #steemblopomo #homesteading

Sorry about Boya. Dogs really are mans best friend. BB is cute!

Thank you so much. BB is cute but Boya was special.

I am sorry to hear about Boya.. Dogs get right on into your heart and stay forever.. Sad to think they live such short lives..
