Boucle…you were so so good….!

We had just finished our walk, and I had removed his leash so he could wander around the front garden  and tulips, when out of the corner of my eye I spotted – the black c.a.t.!  The c.a.t. then spotted me!  Then Boucle spotted the c.a.t! Not even a second later, Boucle was offleash bolting towards the black c.a.t. (can’t say the word because Boucle starts looking for it and get all excited). I had visions of a terrible fight, because the c.a.t. is fierce.  And I had visions of Boucle dashing into the street.

I yelled, “NO!”

And sweetie-pie just stopped in his tracks.  Looked at me, and sat.  Unbelievable, such a good dog!  Gosh I love my Boucle.  He received lots of praise and pets for that.

The last time he saw a cat he raced so fast towards it, even when I said “NO” “STOP”, he kept going and did not stop.  I was very upset with him that day, for not stopping, he really needs to for safety and also to not get into a fight. I let him know it by being quiet with him for the balance of that day, which was very hard to do as he is so adorable. Throughout that day,  you could see his mind  processing the big event.

And he learned from it… so well, because the very next time I said a big “NO” or a big “STOP” he did.  What a good dog.

So this was a wonderful reward for me today, to see him stop, and relax and look at me to ask if that was the right thing to do.  What a good dog!!

I am so proud of my sweetie-pie:))

….he blinked…:))

So sweet my sweetie-pie.  I just had to post the one where he blinked.

Poor sweetie-pie had just almost had an encounter with a growling, wanting and trying to charge german sheppard.  The german sheppard was on a leash, attached to someone on a motorized chair and really wanted to get at my Boucle, almost tipping the man over.  So in this picture, a few minutes later, Boucle was quite subdued and sticking to me.  These picture are in front of my tulips in the front yard.

Sweet Boucle……….

…look!!..look!! the cats Jane…..!!!

This is the black cat that Boucle is always on the lookout for.  The striped cat is not a regular.

We were in the house and heard shrieking cat calls…well it is spring…  Heading outside to see what all the cat commotion was all about, there we spotted the cats..two of them.  They were ready to do what I call the cat dance.  I quickly went inside and got my D80 with the long lens, and all the settings were off, but took a couple of shots anyhow.  I wanted to capture the cats before they went on their way.

Especially as Boucle was doing a lot of barking and running along the fence line.  They could have gone at any moment!  So I did get a couple of shots and then it was time to go inside.

He really is so so good….all I did was say to Boucle “ok, enough, let’s go inside” and he stopped his barking and came inside with me.  Such a good dog, and he had so much fun barking at the cats.
