The girls get happy to have their collars on. For the second time in a week I woke up this morning to a naked Sunshine. Not sure what she's doing at night but her collar was in a mess of blankets on her couch. So I found it and she bounced right on over, stuck her nose in and pranced away with her pretty pink collar.
Rainy does the same thing. I usually take her collar off while bathing and put it back on after she is dry. Whenever I put her collar back on later that day she gets all wiggly and excited.
When we first moved into this house Sunshine was running in the yard and her tag collar went flying off! She bounced up to the door to come inside and I asked said "Hey! Are you missing something?" She looked at me for a second then bounced/jumped over to where her collar was laying and waited for me to come put it on!
I just finished reading a book written from the dog's point of view, "One Good Dog" was the title. Interesting book about a higher up CEO who had a break with sanity and lost everything. The dog in the story scoffs at pets with collars, but eventually comes to liking his collar and wearing it proudly.
Almost makes me wonder how much truth there is in that. Are dogs proud to wear collars identifying them as being a loved pet? Anyone else have a dog who feels naked without a collar and is so excited to have it put back on so they feel 'complete' again? I think it's so cute!
When I take Gunny's collar off, she acts like a toddler when you take off their diaper and they run around gleefully naked. But you can tell she feels comfy when its time to put it back on.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great mental image! Naked toddler.... LOL It's like the collars are their security blankets
