Like many of us as well as our pets, Leo has been feeling the impacts of social distancing. Unfortunately, Leo doesn’t comprehend why he hasn’t gone to the park or the beach, as well as he truly doesn’t comprehend why we don’t stop as well as state hi to the neighbors on our walks. Now, each time we see other people or dogs on our walks Leo lights up as well as tries to direct the walk towards them. If we do cross paths he tries to lunge at them. The lunge isn’t an aggressive lunge, it’s a “love me, pet me” plea for attention. For those who don’t understand Leo it can be a frightening sight seeing such a big canine coming at you, however those who do understand him, understand he is all fluff as well as no bite. However, we typically hold him back since aggressive or not, he’s a significant 95 lbs of fluff.
The social distancing has likewise totally altered Leo’s point of view on vehicle rides. before the stay-at-home order, Leo would come to work with me every day, implying he would get into a vehicle 20 times a week at the minimum. He had never liked vehicle rides so he was never enthusiastic about jumping in. In fact, I typically needed to coax him with treats to jump in. because we’ve been home, Leo hasn’t been in the vehicle much at all. After a few grocery store trips, Leo was upset that he wasn’t coming along. So we chose to take him along whenever it was possible, like choosing up take-out. In the past two years, we’ve had Leo, I’ve never seen him much more thrilled about jumping into the car. Now, he can barely wait up until the door is open before he introduces himself into the backseat. He likewise absolutely likes sniffing outside the windows, whereas before he wouldn’t go near the open window.
Hopefully, when Leo starts going to work every once again day
he’ll continue to like vehicle rides just as much as he does now.
