.CollieTashan is 8 years old, and he has returned to his hometown in Enshi.
Please treat Shanshan’s fellow villagers well and tell him that I miss him very much.
I am 6 and a half months pregnant. When I go out to walk my Labrador, I always like to bring her good friend with me.
Well, the good friend is a male Border Collie who has been neutered.
Once I met a male Labrador who kept jumping on my belly. The Border Collie kept watching on the side, with a blank expression and even a little serious. Then he ran to communicate with the male Labrador.
How to communicate?
Just bite the other person’s ear, and bleed warning.
The idiot on the right is called Wuqianwan, and it is my own dog. He doesn’t know that his mother’s belly is big, and he needs other good friends to protect his mother.
The little friend on the left is called Tashan. He is not my dog, but he is very obedient.
My husband doesn’t like him because… because Tashan only listens to me.
When we go out to play, he always walks on my left side. If he walks fast, he will look back at me, then circle back to wait for me, or walk in an S-shape behind me to herd me… He is
very alert. He will avoid strangers who raise their hands to touch him. Even if he has eaten so many apples from the fruit shop owner, he still can’t develop any feelings for the owner…
He will run out of the house to play by himself, and come back an hour later. You don’t have to worry about him, just give him a meal…
He won’t play with strange dogs, even if the other party wags its tail to show goodwill, he will pretend not to see it…
Update:
Tashan’s father is a dog trainer. Tashan is 5 years old this year. His father said that he didn’t teach Tashan much since he was a child. When a new dog comes to the house, Tashan will help him take care of the dog… Today I went to play with Tashan. Her father was scolding a silly Samoyed. The project was “fishing enforcement – things on the ground cannot be eaten”. When the Samoyed rushed over to eat, Tashan rushed over and bit him, “You idiot! You can’t eat this! You will be beaten if you eat it!”
By the way, I took Tashan to buy apples today. “Tashan, which one do you want to eat? Pick it yourself.” He nudged the most expensive one with his nose. . . . With tears in my eyes, I bought two Shaanxi Red Fuji apples with an average price of 6.5. . .
When I was not very familiar with Tashan, I scolded him once. He ignored me at that time and didn’t eat the snacks in my hand. It took more than an hour to coax him into submission. . . .
Life is so joyful. Although raising a dog is expensive and energy-consuming, compared with interpersonal communication, the relationship between people and dogs is much simpler and more sincere.
I asked my husband if we could get another Border Collie after we retire 30 years later. My husband said, “No, I can’t beat it.”
Irregular updates:
The comments say that you need to leash your dog when you take it out. I think this question should be explained. When
I said that he ran out to play by himself, the point was to highlight his self-thinking and self-discipline, and he could go home on time. I didn’t say that he can be off the leash because he is smart.
And, here’s the key point! I said he is not my dog. His hometown is a small mountain village in Enshi, Hubei. How many people in the village have leashes? It shouldn’t be too much to run out to play in the village.
When I came to the city at the beginning of last year, I always leash my dog when I go out. And when I see you take out the leash, he will immediately come to your side and ask to put on the leash to go out and play.
If he wants to go out to play, he will arrange a hole for the cage himself.
His father said that when he was in his hometown, Tashan slept on the rooftop. A space was enclosed in the corner of the roof for him. However, he was not satisfied with this small piece of land. One day… a brick appeared on the ground… that brick was dug out by Tashan from the corner of the wall.
I remembered an incident. Once I took Tashan and Wuqianwan to swim in the reservoir. It was Tashan’s first time to swim after coming to Hangzhou. At that time, I also went into the water to play. He didn’t swim far and kept circling around me… He wanted to follow me on land and in the water… I calculated the time. At that time, I was less than a month pregnant and I didn’t even know I was pregnant. In short, he protected me very carefully.
Friends who often take dogs out to play should know that there are dog safety belts (put on a vest and fasten the button, and the other end of the safety belt is buckled into the buckle of the car.) He, Zhang Tashan, untied the safety belt that restrained him in the back seat for the first time and sat steadily in the passenger seat.
Raising a Border Collie is really a brain-consuming thing. It is too thoughtful and hard to be persuaded. Tashan has recently learned a hooligan skill. He and Wuqianwan each had an apple. Wuqianwan ate slowly, while he wolfed it down. After eating, he started to circle around Wuqianwan and snatched a large piece when Wuqianwan wasn’t paying attention (of course, Silly Hanhan didn’t dare to snatch it back, so he could only eat the rest of his own silently). This kind of tentative behavior needs to be stopped immediately after the first time it happens. We can’t just ignore it because we think he is smart. This is obviously him testing the bottom line of human tolerance.
Update again:
I took Tashan out to play today. Considering that his behavior of unbuckling his seat belt last time was too dangerous, I took an aviation box and stuffed him into the trunk.
Tashan: It took me two minutes to open the box.
Tashan: Wait a minute, I’ll be in the back seat soon.
Tashan: You drive so slowly, get out of the way and let me do it.
Tashan: Okay, I’m in the passenger seat now, with my real mother.
Me:????
