Walking with Lusi in the forest yesterday she starts to dig a hole:
Sunny conditions; there has been something of a thaw but the paths are still icy. The thaw has created ideal conditions for Lusi to savour the ground scents but she surprises me in her earnestness to excavate a hole. As her head starts to disappear in the hole I wonder if she has not come across a fox hole or some other wildlife habitat.
Lusi's excavations end with her retiring from the hole with..... a big stick! I suppose if squirrels can hide nuts in a food stash...maybe dogs hide their sticks?
There's also a nice moment in the video when Lusi hears a train coming and she stops to listen!
The liver-spotted coat of the Dalmatian is a perfect camouflage in the forest in winter!
Lusi is our 7 month old liver spotted Dalmatian dog. We call her "Lusi goosey" whenever she does something that makes us laugh...which is a lot. Despite her rapid growth, Lusi is very much a puppy still. Her brain is yet to fully develop; in fact Lusi really is just a "half-brained" dog! This definitely explains why Lusi is "goosey", but I am beginning to suspect that Dalmatians rather enjoy being goosey; it seems to be part of their personality.
