Summer play

in #animalphotography6 years ago (edited)

This summer we had a lot of bad weather, but this week we finally awaited some warm weather, with temperatures around 30°C. But we are not used to such temperatures. Not at all. And the animals are also under the influence of such heat. Like our dog, he just lies in the shadow and rests, drinks a lot of water, and let us wet him with the cold water (usually he hates being wet :) ).

Although there are moments when he just couldn't forget about his usual behavior.

And that's playing with the rocks - any rocks - the bigger the better. At first just looking away, not minding the surrounding with his paw resting on the stone.

When he notices, that we are looking at him he becomes alert, checking us out if we will try to take it away from him...

Of course, we are not trying to do that, because his teeth are just too sharp, and his bite to strong. He just isn't used to sharing his "toys" with others. So if nobody want's to play with him, he can do it himself by barking at the rock and pushing it around with the paws.

In the end - usual finish - rolling on top of the rock - the size really doesn't matter... :) I wonder how can he do it without getting hurt - the stones are not really a soft material one would want to lie on. ;)

So that's the story I prepared for you today - the strange behavior of our dog... Good night.

Photos made by me, and my Samsung A5.

What is the name of your pet ?

"Cooper" - like the car Mini Cooper. :)

It's a beautiful animal! For me. a GSD means "The Dog" forever! That's the reason why I have one! :-)

:) Dogs just need our attention. And if we give them that then they will become our best friends. :)

This is wonderful dear

Nice story and a funny dog!

Thanks. :)

😂 he 😂 he 😂 he ... faca je. A je tole Jaka?

Hehe... Ne, Jaka je @macesnov kuza ce se ne motim.. Nas se klice Cooper. :) Mini sej ves... :)

Lepo ime, saj veš ;) Sem slišala, da se kužki baje hladijo skozi tačke in jim ful paše, če se jih ohladi tako, da se jim večkrat osveži tačkice s hladno vodo(če že noče bit cel moker ... saj veš, bljah ... mokrota ... kuža s karakterjem = Cooper). Probaj, mogoče mu bo pasalo ;)

:) Hvala. Bomo probal. Ceprav nam gre kar na roke to, da je vsak dan nevihta in shladi tla in zmoci travo po kateri se cel dan podi. Tako da malce ze sam poskrbi za ohladitev. Lep vecer se naprej.

Oh I love your Shepherd! Sadly we had to put ours down a few months ago.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's difficult to lose the animal you care a lot. When I was younger we had a cat for a very long time, and in the end, when we had to put her down we all cried. But that's life. At least we have some nice photos which remind us how beautiful life they, and also we, had.

The dogs are very tender and intelligent, the heat overwhelms them, when they are not used to it .... in Venezuela it is very hot, my dog does not bother him hahaha .. I invite you to give you a little pass on my blog..I would love count on your help

Our dog was used to higher temperatures all the years before. But this year, we had so huge transition from cold, to almost too hot, that he just waits for us to cool him down.

Thank you for coming around. And I wish you all the best here on Steemit.
