Tips on Dogwalking to Avoid a Broken Arm

 Tip #1--Don't wrap the leashes around your wrists.

 Tip#2--Always carry your cell phone.

 Tip#3--Pay attention to both dogs equally.

 Tip#4--Sight hounds can spot a rabbit from long distances.

 Maybe you've guessed exactly what happened to me a couple of weeks ago.  I try to walk my two "Boyz" every morning at a local park.

My younger one,Chico, an adoptee from our local, no-kill shelter, really has bad manners.  He barks at other dogs or whenever he likes, and he only responds to his name if there's something in it for him.

My older and bigger one, Bondo, responds really well unless if there's a rabbit in the vicinity.

Well, there was a rabbit.  Since Chico was barking for no reason, I was paying attention to him and ignoring Bondo.  The rest is history.

Bottom line:  I still love da boyz!
