re: #307 capitalist piglet

Mine adores me too (he’s my second, and I have a Corgi/Bassett mix as well) - but once we’re outside, forget it. If I don’t have a leash, he couldn’t care less what I’m trying to get him to do (or not do).

He’s also got a BIG TIME herding instinct. Oy.

Is “Goon” your boy’s name? I love that!

Our guy was in a world of his own off the leash. The only time I saw him respond to my husband is when we were walking around a reservoir close to our house. We came upon a young mother with a baby in a stroller surrounded by quite a few very pissed off Canadian geese. The mom was terrified and the baby was screaming. Ollie stood there looking at my husband who said” Go get ‘em boy”. The resulting mayhem was hilarious. Lickity split he had those geese literally running in the other direction honking their fat asses off. Canadian geese are not easily intimidated. He was our little hero that day.
