Pet Portraits and Wildlife Art

Also, as it was the weekend I took my furry babies for their long trek around our local woods. We love exploring and as we have very few deer, no sheep or boar (fingers crossed it stays that way forever) Stan is able to run around off his lead for as long as he wants. I've also started training him with what I remember from Willow's classes and so far so good. The wonderful thing about alsations (and I do call them that no matter what snobby german shepherd owners have to say about it, they are one and the same it's not a race war) is that they are eager to please and very trainable hence why they are used as guard dogs, police dogs, search and rescue and plain old pets. I can't think of any other breed of dog that can have so many uses to be honest.



Anyway, aside from them having won my heart...

dear old Zac decides he loves to get mucky and muddy in the woods with us, unfortunately he's getting quite old now and his back legs are causing him to stumble a little. I'm not sure what I should do as I think a lack of exercise would just make him miserable but if he were to be left at home he may seize up even more. I'm now researching what I can give him to help his joints out or we'll be off to the vets for advice in the very near future.
