Report Card

Every once and awhile we will be too lazy to give Riggs a bath and take him to the groomer to get a bath instead.  The groomer gives you a report card on your dog that covers various things like how his skin and coat looked, his teeth, his ears, his mood, etc...

Riggs typically scores high in most categories but every time the same comment comes back:

"Riggs does not like the dryer"

After they give a dog a bath they have some dryer to dry the dog faster and apparently Riggs total freaks out.  Must be that whole wind issue with him.

Car window

Riggs loves to go for a ride in the car.  Today I was driving and Mama rolled down the window.  Riggs stuck his head out the window to look around and as we accelerated from the stop light he left his head out the window only so long until the wind got just strong enough that he wigged out and pulled his head back in.  Something about strong wind gust and this dog.  He loves the breeze up to a certain speed and then gets concerned.

Wind gust = freak out

Riggs likes the wind up to a certain point and then he freaks out like the world is coming to an end.  As soon as the wind hits a certain speed he is not sure what to do and starts running around in circles and hopping forward and backward.  Any time he needs to go out to go to the bathroom, I pray it is not windy out or at least that he finds his spot and does his business before a wind gust comes around otherwise we will be out there for a very long time.

Leaves blowing in the wind

I wish I had the camera with me today.  Riggs loves to chase the leaves blowing in the wind.  Living in Florida fall does not get here till January and so the leaves are falling off the trees and blowing down the street and Riggs takes off after them.  Although so many leaves are blowing he cannot decided on which one to chase.  He eventually catches up to one and grabs it in his mouth but then proceeds to drop it because another leaf went flying by him that he must pursue.
