My contractor, Dave Pritchard, has a Weimaraner named Allis. She is the prettiest dog and a joy to have around the house. She is so obedient, and mostly hangs out under the construction trailer in the driveway. She is also very protective. Even though it’s my house, she still barks when I come up the driveway. I guess that is because she has spent more time there than I have. It’s no wonder she feels a sense of ownership of the property.
Yesterday when I went over to visit with Dave, I took Allis a rawhide bone. I did this to thank Allis for guarding my house during the day, but also as a way of saying thanks to Dave for all the great work he has been doing. I figured by making his dog happy, I’d make Dave happy too. Allis sure did appreciate the bone. She immediately took it in her mouth, made a loop through the house, and then ran outside to begin working on it.
Above are a few photos I took of Allis and her bone. She doesn’t know it yet, but I have another one in the car to give to her the next time I see her.
