We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~
The hail storm made quite a mess in both people's yards and in the street. Dying green leaves are down everywhere and mom says it smells wonderful!
You will notice that I'm wearing a Halti head collar. Mom is fed up with me pulling her along on our walks. Yesterday was my best day yet wearing this evil thing. I love my walks and I have to learn to put up with it until mom can trust me in a harness and not pull. We will get there~
Duke
Lova ya lots, too!
ReplyDeletewow that rose named sharon ist beautiful! and we love this wonderful puzzle... happy friday to you and the mama
ReplyDeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteI hope you get better at walking beside mum, Duke. Chivalrous behaviour becomes your noble name! That puzzle looks evil, but well done mum! Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
We love your jewel weed and all the other lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteWe know you will master the not pulling on the lead thing sooner or later Duke I was complete fail at this in puppy class but now I'm a good boy and rarely pull (unless there's an exceptionally interesting smell nearby ...)
Toodle-oo!

Duke what a lovely selection you have for us today. For sure you don't want to pull mom down so well done 'adjusting' to the current walking requirements.
ReplyDeleteAS FOR THE PUZZLE, YOUR MOM HAS THE VERY BEST HAND EYE COORDINATION OF ANYONE I KNOW. IT IS A LOVELY PUZZLE
HUGS CECILIA
Those are such beautiful flowers, Duke. We hope the Halti helps you and your mom to enjoy your walks. That sure looks like a tough puzzle just from the colors, but our mom noticed that except for the edge pieces all the pieces are the same shape which would make it doubly hard!
ReplyDeleteAnything that makes the walks less stressful for the walker- so win!
ReplyDeleteAnd the one that can see colors says what a beautiful puzzle!

Wow what a lot of leaves have come down. The Sedum looks wonderful. Treacle had to have a head colar when she was young but learnt that it was better on a harness when she was a bit older but Coco has been fine on her harness from a puppy. So funny how different they all are. I am sure Duke will learn soon. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
ReplyDeletePretty flowers Dandy Duke. Hey, practice walking nicely, you'll have more fun that way!
ReplyDeleteLoving the slightly cooler temperatures, it enables us to enjoy the remaining Summer days. Hoping to take Ryder on a nice long walk today. (Well, he will be in his cart, I’ll do the majority of the walking, lol)
ReplyDeleteSorry, the anonymous post was us,
ReplyDeleteSorry for you having to wear that thing. Mom lets us just pull until at some point we stop doing it all the time. Pretty flowers you found there. We've had some bad storms, but just trees down, no hail. Our trees are all still standing. Have a great holiday weekend.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers today Duke and that puzzle your Mama finished is just beautiful!!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Rosy & Sunny

Timber has to wear his Gentle Leader too. Most of the time he walks just fine, but if he spots a squirrel or a rabbit, the pull is on. Love the sedum. And Mom is quite intrigued by that puzzle. We wonder how many hours it took to get it done.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Misty and Timber
Hi hi hi! Ojo here! Good job on the halti, those things are annoying! Also, good job for posing with your persons puzzle-art! I see you brought your own art - your Ball!
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "A butterfly puzzle? We love butterflies! Now if only they would come to life and fly off of it when it was finished, like in one of those movies our Dada likes ..."
ReplyDeleteDuke we so etimes watch an English TV program called Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly, and although we love the successes they convey and the speed at which they apparently achieve change, we suspect some editing. And despite your halti I feel absolutely certain you wouldn't qualify as behaving badly enough to be a candidate. Give your mum a break. You will enjoy your walks more too. 😊😍
ReplyDeleteYou are a top tongue out model
ReplyDeleteDear Duke and Mom, thanks for your ever so healing Nature Friday. Now I know there are so many flowers I've never seen. I'm very inspired by Mom remembering their names, she's like a flower fairy. That puzzle looks real tough so I'm cheering for Mom's good job. You do well too by not getting to excited, be gentle with Mom~💕
ReplyDeleteI'll remember to smell the fallen leaves,
Julia💗
