Dog versus Lawnmower; a draw
Per the request of a viewer of this site (I’m surprised there are any), I’ve posted a video. Watch for more Dolce versus the Lawnmower meetups. (I’ll try to spruce up the next one with some music or slick editing…maybe)
Background: One day while mowing my postage-stamp-sized lawn, Dolce began attacking the lawnmower. I didn’t encourage it, but didn’t strongly discourage it either. Soon, she began attacking it even when I wasn’t using it. Within a week, both tires were chewed off, making it much less usable. I’m unsure as to what’s going on here; does she think it is alive? Or is she just playing with it like a toy? Though she’ll play with it sometimes by herself, she really gets excited when I push it around. (She has a thing for the weedwacker, as well; for obvious safety reasons, I lock her in the house when I use that).

Ok Seriously that looks like it could be my dog’s twin! Her name is Olivia and they both have the exact same markings, the exact same bark and Olivia does the same thing to our snowmobile/four wheelers/ vaccum/ snow shovel/ anything that moves. Have you found out what breed Dolce is? I would really like to know as I have NEVER seen another dog that looks like my Olivia. Send me your email address and I will send you a pic of Olivia!

I have took on three rescue dogs that were deserted by their preceding owners. They are the cuddliest creatures I have ever experienced. It is terrible how some individuals treat animals like belongings or worse. My hope is that more people will get trained about this subject.
