I ’m wild about dogs . My CAT do n’t countenance me to have a hot dog myself , but luckily , I get to recreate with a flock of dogs on the streets of Rapallo .
While in the States most people keep their bounder in the backyard ; here in Rapallo most mass live in condominiums , which entail that they regularly take the air their andiron on the street .
I think not being keep in a backyard also ca-ca the dogs of Rapallo friendly because they do n’t develop territorial protective covering tendencies . This means that just about any blackguard that I see out and about is favorable and well-chosen to receive a few minutes of latria and nestle from me . The first few years I lived here I routinely channel dog biscuits in my backpack and I made a lot of Canis familiaris acquaintance .
Although the dogs of Rapallo are generally pampered , there are a few exceptions . Up the route from our theater there are a few hunter who keep multitude of hunt hot dog that they use to hunt wild boar in the forests .
We ’ve encountered these dogs a few clip when we were boost in the Ellen Price Wood during boar hunting season . They put large toll on the hound ’s collars and the dogs flush the boars out of their concealment position . I in reality divulge my garden when I climb up the drop behind our base to rescue a lost hunter ’s hound that had climbed up there during a driving rainstorm and was stuck on the drop-off .
I put on my mud boots and slicker and climb up to find the dog and convey him back down . Fortunately , he had a telephone set number on his collar and I was able-bodied to call the possessor and he come and got his frank .
That climb gave me the confidence that I could manuever on the drop-off and it was a few months later that I decide the gay drop would be a good spot to make a garden than the shady gardens I was using at my power .
I suppose the one bad feature of having so many dog in Rapallo is that not infrequently some owner fails to cleanse up after their dearie . I call walk on the street of Rapallo the “ sidewalk lottery , ” because it is inevitable that sooner or subsequently one will step in some dog crap . Not fun , but a belittled toll to make up for having so many well-disposed pawl to play with .
My cats are less enthusiastic about all these dogs , but they do a well job of head off them . The cats are always quite interested in me when I come home from one of my walks , and they sniff all the dog smells on my workforce and give me looks that in effect communicate their disgust with me for associate with those rough-cut beasts .
