Walking the dog.
 

So I couldn't drown him, so now I'm trying to get him and myself run over. Blame Eva for the crap pictures, she had the focus on the wrong setting. :Oh crap

Having problems here.

Really having problems here.

Who said this mutt was a runt? He's an obstinate, determined and getting powerful animal. But with a heart of gold.

The great thing is I'm now able to go out for a little ride on the bike. :thumbsup

Been a long haul.

good to be in shape!

Long way from that, but being able to take him for walks and maybe have him run alongside me as a cycle, is a real milestone.

I'm really disappointed you didn't at least wear your black socks for the pics.

riding your bike trying to walk your dog? bad idea

Word lol. Unless you have some biking skills.

Especially with a dog like that, I can just picture the leash slipping out of his hands or the bars and the dog chasing down a tiny little dog and eating it.

Thanks for the up-shorts shots.

.

don't go for long bike trips with your dog until he is 1 year old...

Cute dog... :)

Very nice photos Paul.

Your neighborhood has an interesting, charming middle European (German/Czech) look to me. For example lots of cobblestone in the driveways and along roads. Lots of fences and old stylish house. Lots of hedges. Above ground wires.

Also your leash is very advanced with a bungee type cord. I like it. Then again I havent looked into leashes in a while. Im a cat guy. :)

And yeah, you are a lean mean machine. :thumbsup You should start some diet threads. What is your secret? :) I suspect lots of activity over years and maybe a diet high in veg and natural foods. No processed junk with 50 chemical ingredients like we are encouraged to eat in the US.

Always enjoy the pics :thumbsup :thumbsup

Typical Czech village, this is the middle class area. OK lower middle class. :1orglaugh

Just one of the standard ones that runs out and rolls back in or can be locked.

I had cancer in the tongue and throat, which has hit my appetite and ability to eat. Not a diet plan I would recommend. I do though eat very healthy and high protein foods.

Thank you.

To those saying it's not a good idea. We were only going a few 100 meters up and down the road, trying to get Rajah trained to run beside me while I cycle, he's better when Eva is on her roller blades. He pulls her along. At 5 months he's a very powerful and willful dog. Yes he does like chasing other dogs, doesn't try to eat them, just give them a KO blow. Real Boxer. LOL

Maybe a video would be in order.

Lazy, left the black one in the drawer. Need to get them out next time. :winkwink:

heeellooo :helpme

Show us your cock.

Ooh man. Hope all is going well now. If you ever need fattening up just come to America and somehow you will put weight on. :)

I am startiing to believe Roseanne Barr who says our soybeans are messed up by corporate interests and it is making everyone fat. Soybeans are everywhere.

In a nutshell, a food conglomerate and major Chemical company (same one who invented agent orange) patented the soybean! How?!? That is what everyone wonders. But now they have basicly replaced the orig soybean with one that is synthetic and in essence plastic and it is causing people to balloon up. Along with other junk chemicals which are what are making Americans fat. Not too many calories.

She claims farmers are being put in jail for growing real soybeans. It is apparently illegal to grow real soybeans in America. Or Roseanne is smoking a little too much maui waui :) She says she smokes. :) She's in Hawaii. Maybe she just is buying all the Alex Jones type mullarkey.

Im not gonna look into it. Someone here will eventually bring it up if it's true. :)

Anyhow that is another thread. :)

Btw, I'm really not a cat person. I have one and he drives me nuts most of the time but luckily he is outdoors all summer. Mostly right outside the door. 12 now but the greatest mouser of all time. Still catching stuff. I feel bad but what you gonna do. He lives for being outdoors.

He was outdoors on his own for the first year until I fed him a can of tuna one day when I seen him hanging around. He wasnt getting fed by the orig owners so I offered them $30 for him. They had another cat who wouldnt let em eat and they were too dumb to just put food out for both. So after I fed him forget about it. That was 11 years ago.

He waits for me. Welcomes me home. Walks after me if I go for a walk. But is a true cat.

A cat's cat. Id post a picture but the US is not as cozy (to me) as Czech and your village. :) All the nuts are over here. :1orglaugh

I once fed 2 feral cats year round for three years tho incl a three legged cat. They were totally feral. Let em live under the home which was not heated. Never petted either. But I didnt have the heart to abandon him.

In the winter food would freeze solid in 15 mins at -20 and the water would too. So I had to go back out again. But every night I went out with two huge plates of catfood.

One of them came thru a window in mid Feb 2003 weighing 1 and 1/2 LBs after not eating zip all winter. Skin and bone. It was high of zero and -15 at night for a couple weeks before. What you gonna do? So that began feeding him, he ate and went right back outside, feral.

And then "the three legged boy" showed up. Lived around the yard for three years. It hit 32 below one night and never seen the three legged boy again. He did survive -28 the year before.

Fed the last cat one more year and he dissapeered. Tough life for a feral cat in the Northern US. But they would have been killed in a shelter prob and it is what they wanted.

He was a tough cat tho. Three legs and fast and tough as hell. :) He would chase the one I still have now. He was the toughest cat of all I ever seen. All other cats ran from him. I have lots of cat stories over the years.

I sense a new thread coming on...

It's harder to ride a bike than it used to be in the old days

this :2 cents:

take him for a walk instead, of his heart will go to hell, rest your dog, let him run for cats :)

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Nice way to walk the dog, haha :pimp

Nice puppy, they demand a lot of attention.

it's fine - though maybe not with that lead.

next weeks thread will be:
Dog went straight under the front wheel when it saw a cat - now i haz no teefs :(

Just training him to run alongside me, best result was with me holding a doggy treat in one hand suspended above him.

He needs to have some exercise running and this is just one way to do it. He loved it.

Also take him out and teaching him to sit and wait until I call him. I can go 100 meters before he moves. Then he's like a greyhound, a slow one still he tries. :1orglaugh

Throwing a ball is also another way to exercise him, until he leaves the ball and decides it's time for me to go get it. :1orglaugh

let's call the Dog whisper :)

This guy is a miracle worker. Start of the hour we have a vicious animal that will attack and kill anything with a heart beat, in 15 minutes the dog is transformed into a playful puppy that does no more than lick people. :1orglaugh

I'm finding it takes months to get something into my mutts head. LOL

So you didn't take your dog for a walk. You tried to take him biking, and quickly figured out that it's not gonna work.

Grandpa, get off the bike and try running. Or walking. Be careful with the hips.

Sorry I'm not Cesar Milan. It takes me longer to train a dog than he does it in.

The dog is 5 months, this was his first time following me and it will be a while before he's trained to do it perfectly.

Seems you give up at the first hurdle, I'm made of sterner stuff. :thumbsup

Just back from the river, he was very brave and was swimming.

Until he panicked and I had to drag him to shallower water. He loved it. Can't get him run over and now can't drown him. Ho Hum!!
