The Adventures of Cato, Tara and Jasmine

Mum, do you have any idea of what bothers Cato when you walk through the cemetery.  Maybe a patch of thorny grass or prickles?

I truly love the old house.  The brick is just wonderful on it.  I love how it is designed.  

Loved their walk through the graveyard as it had many of the fall colors in the trees..beautiful....

PS ....stole it but returned it in my blog re edited 

 

Mum:  he always goes on strike in roughly the same place.  We are always 50-100 yards from the gates, walking on the tarmac path.  It is always under the trees (see the first pic of cemetery above). We can be going in either direction.  He sits down and doesn't want to continue.  Just stares at us.

he can be 'encouraged' to walk on (pulling on lead til he stands up and walks).  Or he can be carried (Dad has done this several times).  Once, we dropped the lead and walked off.  He sat and watched us for 100 yards, then ran to catch up.

of course, he has 'gone on strike' many times - prickles in his knickers, metal grilles in ground, steep steps, when he is tired and wants a 'lift'.  But this is weird because it is roughly the same place every time - and he remembers it from the last time.  It must be 2 months since i took him through there, although Dad may have gone there more recently.

Tara never spooks at anything except big dogs, and she has never spooked in the cemetery.

i joke to them that it is Ghosties and Ghoulies and Things That Go Bump.  But if i was any of those, i would be tucked up snuggly in my bed at midday on a weekday.

That's so interesting that he freezes up at that point...Hmmm

What beautiful brick houses, lucky dogs on these scenic walks

Love love the cemetery! And the house with 2 doors!!
