Redeemed

I thought perhaps we would get through another walk with Oblivious, but he redeemed himself today. Or rather, the deer gave themselves away. And I had my good camera.

Those white tails bring me joy too. So silly.

My dog doesn’t answer to “Oblivious” anyway, so it is good that he redeemed himself!

And a little “Aw” for your Saturday:

The other half of the herd was not spooked, but were watchful.

Quick Dog Water Dish

My dog really likes to go on walks. Like he turns inside out when he figures out we are going for a walk. (I have yet to figure out how to video his freak outs, because I’m usually driving. As soon as I stop and pull out the camera, he stops, and if there is anyone else in the car, he doesn’t do the same thing. Silly dog.)

I have tried several portable water dishes, seen even more, but I always forget to grab one when we head out. I have a very timid dog, and he won’t drink from water poured out of a bottle, or out of my hands (and… ew.) After one particularly hot walk I was desperate to give him water and I happened to have a quart sized zip closed plastic bag in the car (go figure, I almost always have one of these). I folded it over into a dish and poured in water and he drank! Hurray! The bag is light and easy to carry and dries out well. Plus I’m reusing it! (I know there is a case of single use plastic water bottles in this picture. It is my emergency stash, in case I forget the reusable bottle.)

I also put together a quick video demonstrating how to fold a bag into a bowl. I hope this life hack helps you as much as it helped me!
