Today I made it a point to get Cooper to a dog park! I figure this coming Thursday he’ll be getting fixed, so he might want to get in some time to play. I watched as he ran, jumped, played, and enjoyed being a dog with other dogs.
While at the dog park, he lifted his leg to pee for a second, third, and fourth time. I fully understand that is a dog’s way of “marking” but he’s never done anything of the sort at home much less inside our home. And that is something that I read happens in a dog of any size isn’t fixed. I just can’t see how it’ll have an impact towards the positive, having him fixed, other than not being able to make puppies.
On a positive note, when I took him out, he actually sat like a gentleman when Gypsie (the cat) approached. And that cat was trying to gain his attention, walking in front of him, flicking of the tail at him, and he even impressed a neighbor with his “good manners”. He is a lab, only seven months old, but he’s a really good dog!!!
Maybe it is best that my biggest aspirations for him become “volunteer work” in the future… and forgive me if it “feels” like settling or possibly having regrets in the future.
