Last week Freighter had to deal with ducks during training. This week it was the geese. The park where we train is suddenly full of them.
They were lined up like an audience.
They were watching while Freighter headed toward the bumper.
They were watching while he picked it up.
They were watching while he brought it back.
And they kept watching.
He gave them the stink eye.
But they just kept on watching.
This is a Blog Hop. Thanks to Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog, Luna, a Dog’s Life, and My Brown Newfies for setting up this hop. Please go to any of the sponsoring blogs to find out who else has been mischievous.
Monday Mischief
That’s a lot of geese! How funny that they watched Freighter the whole time!
They were probably thinking, “What kind of retriever ignores us for a plastic thing?”
Those geese were probably thinking, “Am I ever glad I’m not a duck!!”
You may be right.
PS~ LOVE your new fall background!!
Thanks!
Those geese should mind their own business!
True Pip!
What a good boy Freighter! You had quite the audience. Those geese can be pretty intimidating, too.
P.S. – Happy 10 month buddy!
Thanks for stopping by Bassetmomma.
It looks like the stink eye only works on some species.
Happy Monday, looks like you did a great job Freighter!!
Well you did not see his zig-zag path back where he kept “thinking” about visiting the geese. lol
Wow, that’s funny how they watched him the whole time! Glad he was able to ignore them for the most part!!
He did a good job, but his nose was really sniffing.
I’m really impressed that he still manages to stay focused and doesn’t go running after them. Well done Freighter.
He thought about it, but only after he had the bumper.
I can’t believe those mean old geese were trying to get you in trouble Freighter. I bet ignoring them really ruffled their feathers. Nice job.
Those geese were pretty bold and not budging!
HILARIOUS! Good job, giving the stink eye!
I have tried to leave you a comment more than once, but for some reason I cannot get the comment box to recognize the code I enter. Sorry.
Hey Brown Dawgs, Jet here. Hi Miss Linda.
Love the fall foliage and new design… (we’ve been away far too long!)
Good work freighter giving them the ‘ol stink eye!
Thanks for stopping by Jet. I felt the need to spruce the place up a bit for the season.
Can you blame them for watching this incrediable dog.
Blessings,
Goose (not one of the geese)
Awe that was nice Goose.
(No one could mistake you for a goose…lol.)
Thanks for giving those geese the Stink Eye! They leave way to many messes around! Maybe now they will leave! BOL!
Lovies, Miss Mindy
Yes they are messy and if they were a bit closer I am sure Freighter would of sampled the “mess”.
LOL too funny. Thanks for sharing those awesome photos!
Thanks Deanna!
Did you run through the pack of geese!! *Snickers* when no one is looking I do – it’s fun
Freighter wanted to, but he stayed on the task of getting the bumpers.
Hi Y’all,
That’s a pretty good “stink eye” Freighter! Just don’t forget to take that bumper straight back to the human or the human will exact his vengence.
Thanks for visitin’ me!
Hope y’all are havin’ a great day and a safe week!
Y’all hurry back now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
You are right about the human and his vengeance…lol.
Freighter
hahaha that was fun!! love how he looks back like that
Thanks Kurome!
Oh Freighter, what a good boy! Rita hates birds. I’m sure she would have taken off after them. She has a very bad trainer for a Momma!
Can’t blame a dog for chasing birds. We just try to channel the chasing.
Good job Freighter for also just watching – and not chasing!
He thought about chasing, but he was a good boy.
You did a good job ignoring those geese our Bob would have been eating their poo
urban hounds
Oh Freighter has tried that already. We are always “working” on that!
Way to go Freighter! Linus would have chased those geese. He’s a big fan of herding small animals.
Oh I would love to see Linus herding geese!
Good job Freighter, I know you really wanted those geese and I think they made it harder on purpose. However you fought the temptation and brought back the bumper
)))
We have 2 protected lakes only fish and geese allowed. Since the geese know they are safe, they come over and yell at the Newfs for walking (on road) too close to their nest. They get mean!!
Protected lakes sound nice, but I bet those darn geese take them over eventually.
Good job Freighter!! Your time will come to get even with those geese
I love your fall background!!
I bet he will try to get even.
