My Dog's Cabin Vacation in the Mountains




Hello everyone! My name is “Nuni11” and I am elven years old. This is my first entry to the dog blog, and I wanted to tell a funny story about my Weimaraner, “Kaspar Newton Von Rudolph”. Well it all started when my Mom, Dad, Kaspar, and I went on vacation. My dog Kaspar is use to carpeted floors and tiling. When we got to our vacation cabin spot, we walked in the door and Kaspar completely stopped! My Mom and Dad were thinking, “Oh no! We are going to have to deal with Kaspar getting used to this place, I laughed to myself.” Then we noted that he was having a problem getting off the couch onto the floor in the cabin again. We then figured out, it was not the cabin he is scared of - it was the hardwood floors! He was freaked out about the sound of his feet clicking and the slickness of the hardwood floors. Then we found some towels, and floor mats, laid them out on the floor, so he could have a safety path to walk. However, some spots did not have any floor mats and Kaspar had found a solution to his problem. He started walking on his toenails, as if to minimize paw contact! He was crouched down, legs bent. Not any part of his paw surface was touching the wood floor! The slipping and sliding on the floor is a whole new entry in which I will write about at another time. We went to this particular cabin two times, another cabin one time and he started getting use to the hardwood floors. Kaspar could not wait to go outside where there was no hardwood flooring-his confidence peaked immediately when hitting nature’s turf. The one time he tried to climb the stairs in the cabin loft, he got half way up and his back foot slipped and he got freaked out and ran back downstairs! Maybe climbing the stairs can be a goal on his next trip. Needless-to-say, he never tried to go up there again! All he does now is go up one-step. Family entertainment at its finest-who forgot to pack the video camera?

About The Images: Naptime for Kaspar - He looks so sweet and peaceful when he sleeps. Someone say Organic Rawhide Bone - He thinks it's time for him to have his rawhide bone for the evening. The last photo of him doing “The Death Roll” and showing his bottom “Lip”. Yes, you herd me, Kaspar my dog has a bottom lip! It looks so funny. We call it "The Death Roll" Because he waves his paws around and he can sometimes, accidently scratch us with his paws. But he is still a very good boy! The funnier thing is that he goes to sleep on his back and he shows his bottom “Lip”, this image hasn't been reworked or edited. I Hope you enjoyed my dog blog! I will try and make another blog again soon.
