Mung mung!
-
A couple weekends ago, we were asked to dog-sit for a couple of days. Our landlord Rob lives above us and has three sweet fur-babies – Hogan, Taz and Colt.
I love dogs, and so does Mehmet, though we really think our place is too small to have our own – it’s hardly big enough for the two of us! But for a couple days, it’s fun. And these three dogs are really well-trained and lovable!
Of course, how could anyone resist these furry faces nudging them awake in the morning!
Hey! That’s MY side of the bed!
Well, dogs need regular exercise, and since it was Mehmet who agreed to take the dogs, it was me who agreed they were entirely his responsibility! Heehee!
But of course I was glad to join them all for a walk to the park. Hey, I’m happy for any new photo subjects!
Incidentally, this was just a few days before Mehmet was attacked by The Pox.
The park is about a 10 minute walk from our house, and boy, did the dogs go nuts!
Colt (the big one) and Hogan (the black one) ran and ran and rannn…
Although Hogan is bigger, Taz is packed with energy – he runs faster than Colt, and almost always gets the ball first!
While the rowdy boys were playing, Taz enjoyed himself by sniffing – apparently there are so many interesting scents in a park!
We’ve had a beautiful autumn here. Check out all the leaves!
Feels soooo goood…
And of course there are other dogs to meet. And sniff.
This is Rob’s ‘Chuck It’, and it can transform even people like me into good ball throwers!
Hogan loves it!
But he gets pretty demanding if you don’t throw it instantly.
After lots of running (them – not me), they were all tired out. Time to go back home!
And they were out for hours. No guilt at having dogs in a small apartment when they had that much exercise!
Ahhhh…
Taz is pretty special – he reminds us so much of Babe!
But Hogan is so much fun – he’s Mehmet’s favourite.
As for Colt, well who can resist a funky face like this?
And while we’re talking about dogs, you should know that Korean dogs say ‘Mung mung’ and Japanese dogs say ‘Wang wang’!
Go on... leave a comment. I love to know who's reading!

Neat. “How! How!” That’s probably the most accurate one. Woof implies that dogs can place their lower lip against their teeth. Wierd that we attribute these sounds to dogs and they’re SOOO different in different languages.

I think they still say woof, woof! Or arf,arf! It’s fun if you can dogsit or take them for a walk…you can get your fix and give them back when you’re done and not have ultimate responsibility for them. Kinda how it is with Lilith! :)

Looks like fun Brenda! The dog park is 5 mins away from our place and Minu (our dog) LOVES to go and play. It means for a good nights rest for both of us :)
