We live in a rural area, and this time of year it
is deserted (yeah, I love it!) I have been letting the pyrs run from time
to time with my TN Walker Hound. I laugh when I let Big Bear out, she
totally ignores the Walker Hound. While the Walker just wants to play with
her, she has to be content to just follow Big Bear around. Big Bear
was good at first and stayed right around the house, now she is starting to
wander though. I can not call her back, she comes back when she wants
to. Her running free days are over. So she stays
in her fenced in yard for good now. I don't want to chance losing
her.
Little Bear (the older one) is a little better
about coming back if you call her name. She plays a little with the Walker
Hound, she stays around the house though. However when springtime comes,
she can't run anymore, just too many people around.
About ice, I can't even get my dogs to walk through
a water puddle. They are worse than my donkeys! These girls want
nothing to do with the river/stream that runs along the property. My
Walker Hound plays in it constantly, she doesn't care how cold it is. When
she was a puppy we had a black lab - need I say more.
