Bums Down Down Under

April 17th, 2008

A group of us meet every morning in our local park to run the dogs for half an hour before work. My neighbour has her boxer, Roxy, and was also dog-sitting a beautiful little 11-week old border collie called Tilly (Mathilda). Well, when she took out a piece of bacon and told Roxy to ‘sit’ (in that firm dog training tone of voice) – ALL the dogs in the park started demonstrating their perfect posture.

Including Tilly, who hadn’t grasped the concept of ‘sit’ before. (“I’m watching the Big Dogs!” we reckon she was thinking….)
