Walk with Faye

I had a great walk with mum this morning, just me and her, and I loved that. I hope mum continues to take me on our one on one walks even as STINKY gets older.

Mum worked all day, and I spent most of my time outside on my heated bed. We got rained on today, so our snow has now become slush. I much prefer snow...sigh.. Anyway, in the evening, mum put me and STINKY in the car and took us to another park further away. I was soo happy I got to run around off-leash even tho STINKY did come on the walk with us, in mum's arms. I bet her arms have been permanently stained by his stinky smell.

After the walk, mum pulled up to a house, gave me a bone, and took STINKY inside that house. Mum said I couldn't go in, something about socializing STINKY and me being too protective around her in a small area. I gave her my sad look, but upon glancing over at the bone, I decided to devour first, pout later.

Mum wasn't gone for too long, and when she finally came out, two other hoomans came out plus another dog. It was Faye.


I'm not sure if you guys remember, but Faye was the rescue girl with stand up ears that mum got her friends to adopt.

Anyway, we all went for a walk together. Faye and I were on leashes,


Boy and Baby asked what the famous "Sunshade LOOK" looks like. You know, the look I usually give dogs and they just know not to mess with Miss Sunshade. I am usually in a stationary position, with my tail way up in the air, doesn't wag, and I sort of look at the dog from the corner of my eyes. Most of them, even the dominant ones seem to back off when they see that "look". This picture was taken when I was giving Faye my LOOK. She was trying to jump and play with me on leash, so I gave her the LOOK, and she stopped but started to jump and play with her dad on leash LOL.

(You don't get the full effect from the picture, but you get the idea. I hope you guys aren't looking away and backing away.......)


Did you notice how much dark I have on my ears, and down my hind legs as compared to Faye's?? That's because Faye has the correct coat, and I have a sheepcoat!

STINKY came on the walk with us too, but he had to stay in Sherrie's arms (oh poor arms).


Faye was quite excitable...hehe, it was really interesting seeing her running around in tight circles around her dad and ripping his arm out LOL. She is usually very good on leashes, it's just when she sees a dog, she gets too overly excited.



We walked to a park where Faye was let off the leash to run. Mum was gonna let me off, but she saw how fast Faye was running around in big circles, she decided to keep me on leash. I guess mum doesn't like me doing a lot of chasing on hard grounds, especially when it's slippery. She worries about my bad elbow.


Faye is 3 years old, and still very playful and energetic. She kept trying to get me to play with her or chase her by running really fast towards me. I wanted to play chase too, but ARGH... I was attached to the stooopid leash.. I tried to chase while I was on leash tho.


When Faye got bored of trying to get me to play, she went for STINKY. She would run really fast towards him and jump over him. STINKY wanted to play, but he just wasn't sure about her rambunctiousness. Of course, when I saw what Faye was doing to STINKY, I went and put myself in between, and gave her THE look. Faye then would back off, but come at STINKY from another angle, and I of course, just had to stand around STINKY and make sure Faye didn't get him.

(mum: Sunshade seems to be ok with dogs who are gentle, not overly excited towards Jaffa. The dog we met at UBC field was calm, and Sunshade was completely fine with her meeting Jaffa. I knew she would start protecting Jaffa when he has been accepted as part of her pack.)


Look at how brave that useless STINKY looks when he's standing behind me..

Don't get me wrong, I still DON'T like STINKY at all. But since I guess he is now considered part of my pack, it's my responsibility, as a pack leader (not mum) to protect him. Afterall, I am still trying to give him away, and who's gonna want him if he got injured??

YES, I am still trying to give him away, because he does this to other hoomans, in public.


Please, I want a blood transfusion..... I refuse to believe we are related by blood!!!!!
