Tigger Learns to Like Dogs

Tigger Walks at Heel

I'm so sorry my pages don't work right so I can see my photos but it looks like I can still use the diary.

I have three dogs - two of them have done off leash walking in the mornings for a year or two and the third one was just let off leash and heels nicely for the half mile walk around my property. We started out this morning and here comes Tigger galloping after us. He followed us nicely at heel too for half the walk and then two of the dogs chased him away. He came back when I called him and finished the walk nicely. Hope he does it again as it was surreal to have him walking nicely along in front of Patches and behaving so well. Was wishing for my camera!

Tigger is such a ham!

Have been enrolled in a photo workshop and submitting quite a few photos of Tigger which get great reviews (he's so handsome you know!). His head is really getting quite big but he does like to pose for the camera while the rest of my crew runs away as soon as I get out the camera.

Tigger Meets Snake

A huge bullsnake has been hanging around under the house for sometime. The dogs bark at him roundly but don't seem to hurt him. This morning the snake was outside the yard under a bed of cactus. I found him as I saw Tigger stalking something under the cactus. When I went to look there was big bullsnake. I ran to get my camera and got several good shots. Tigger was just cautious enough that I don't think he ever touched the snake and I banished Tigger to the house afterwards to give snakie a chance to get away. Chocolat likes to play with snakes but this si the first time I saw Tigger show any interest. I try to keep the cats away from them as if they claw or scratch the snake it seems to get infected and the snakes die. So far they haven't found a rattler.
