For those of you who live in the city with your dogs where you rent, have to walk your dog every time it needs to go potty, I'm talking to you. Just a few questions here.
When your dog has the runs, what you do when taking them out to potty? Simi has an upset stomach after the move and now has the runs. I have been trying to just keep her poo's limited to our small yard, and pick up what I can, then water down the rest, but what do those of you do who have to walk them else where? Do you just try to pick up as much as you can and leave the rest? Water down what's left, even on someone else's property? Just curious.
Those of you who wear tags on your dogs -- any of them tag chewers? Simi is, apparently. In less than a week she has more or less destroyed her city tag and her ID tag is looking pretty rough. I am thinking I'll have to get a tag that fits right on her collar and just carry her city tag on me.
Also, anyone with dog reactive/dog selective dogs that live in the city and have to walk regularly? Simi can be picky and so we're finding it a little bit of a challenge. But as long as they don't bark at her, she can generally just ignore them, as long as she can keep an eye on them to know where they are.
On the same line as above, Simi is scared of people. We had a little girl try to pat her the other day on a walk and even asked nicely... do you feel rude telling people not to pat your dogs? What do you tell them?
Just a general question thread, I guess.
