Camus's Blog (9)

Everything was fine at the beginning. 5 dogs were hanging around off-leash. One dog came to me and I petted him for a while. Then I continued speaking on the phone.  The dog was still siting by my side. Camus came to me from the other side and when he came close enough, the other dog snapped and at the same moment I raised my arm and it was right between Camus and the other dog, so the dog bit my arm instead of Camus. The diameter of the wound is not big , but it is pretty deep and there was…

One early morning Camus met a coyote...and invited him/her to play. 8-0

It was still dark and when an animal ran across a big grassy area I thought it was a dog, but there was no human around. Camus ran after the animal wagging his tail. When a coyote stopped, Camus made a bow and invited him to play. The coyote stopped intrigued and stared at Camus until I grabbed my pup and walked away. I was the only one who got scared, I guess. Silly, silly and friendly Camus! 

The house is painted! Camus helped me a lot with his tail and paws, he just painted wrong things. Although we were very busy, we went to the dog beach for 4 days in a row.

Camus is crazy about the ocean. Now it's a problem to walk on beaches where the dogs are not allowed off-leash. Camus pulls to the water all the time. 

Another thing, we discovered and don't know how to deal with it. Camus poops in the ocean. :( He sits where the water comes to his hips and... I feel very…

Camus chewed off his stitches the next day after the neutering surgery. The vet had to put him to sleep and sew him again. Other than that Camus looked happy.

The nurse said: "if your dog doesn't eat very well or don't eat at all, don't worry. It's normal". Camus eat full bowl of food right after coming home. 

The day before surgery we moved to a new house. Painting the house with a puppy like Camus is not easy. Now, not only the house is painted but also the Camus's…

An old story, from when Camus was 3 months old.

One very early morning, Camus was let outside just for a minute. That was enough for him to find and eat a bee. Within five minutes, we couldn't recognize our pup. His muzzy was bigger than his head.  He could barely breeze. And we had no idea of what had happened. Scary! Of course, on that day, we were the first ones at the vet's office. 2 injections, $150, 2 hours and our pup was back to normal. 

On the next morning, when we…

The first thing destroyed by Camus was my hair pin.

Not too much for 3,5 months of a free life in the house. But... it was my favorite hair pin. R.I.P. :(

After we picked the name, we realized very soon how difficult and weird it sounds to american ear.

- Ca...what? - How did you say? -What's that? -Why? - Camoooo? - What a weird name?, etc. :)

Another mystery is why most of the people assume that he is a girl. I guess, they think: only girls can be so cute.

I am almost sure that this happens to many of you  and your cute doodles look like girls to people around, specially puppies. 

Camus turned out to be very generous, he is able to share even the most valuable of his belongings: a big beef bone. 

When my husband was standing in "downward dog", Camus brought and placed his bone right under my husband's face, then stepped away as if saying: "Here, buddy, I let you gnaw it for a while". :)

This is my first post. Even though I have been on DK for 3 months already. Dear DK friends, if someone sees this post, please forgive me. I follow you and follow others' posts on the forum. I usually don't answer b/c feel ashamed of my English and don't have very much time (what is not dedicated to Camus is just for working, sleeping and cleaning the house). 

Ok. I am starting to write some things about my doodle, because I…
