We went to my parent's house for the weekend, of course Grandma spoiled her! lol She bought Dixie a Halloween costume,
, but it was too big for Dixie,lol
Well, after chilling around the house, me and Dixie hanged out in the garage cleaning up the place. We got alot of room now in the garage to work on the camaro, but she still isn't used to the camaro when it is running, she goes :animal18: when it is fired up! lol
then Saturday I figured we would go riding around the block while i let Dixie ride in the bed of the truck so she will get used to it, Dummmy me, should have known better with her climbing ability. I swear i watched her the whole time til we got toward the house and i turned into the yard, when i got out Dixie was not in the bed!! You ever seen a fat boy run for dear life??? well i ran down the drive way and looked toward the left and there was Dixie sitting in the yard next door looking at me! I got her and she wasn't hurt anywhere just scared, so chalk that up to luck. Scared the crap out of me, cause i watched her before i left the yard to see if she could climb out and she didn't.
Anyone got tips for training the dog to ride in the back and not jumping out? i thought of trying the crate next time so she get use to the sound and such, then try tying a short leash so she can't climb on the side of the bed.
Then we went Hunting that afternoon, i tied her to my belt so she will be beside me, and she didn't flinch when i fired the shotgun. So it sounds like she can hang with that.
But the most fun she had this weekend had to be playing with the young cat my mother had, they ran around the house and played almost all day every day we was there. I feel bad about bring her back up here to a house with no other animal to play with. Almost left her with my Mother, but i figured with me taking her to other friends house and letting her play with other dogs was better then nothing!
How was ya'll weekend, i can tell Dixie had a alot of fun as she is sleeping by my foot right now as i type this! lol
