Chase vs the Dishwasher

chase hose.jpg

This past summer I fostered Chase, a pure bred Border Collie from New England Border Collie Rescue. 8 year old Chase was a washed up Goose patrol dog from a golf course in New York. He had lived for a quite a few years in a small outdoor pen before being relinquished to rescue after his original care giver moved on to another job, and he was just the sweetest thing!

True to his breed, Chase had a few quirks. Chase loved to catch water from the hose, and he herded the washer, dryer and dishwasher.

Here he is in my kitchen "helping" me with the dishes.

Chase is thriving in his forever home in New Hampshire.

This is TOTALLY off topic, but wasn't sure where else to post questions about dog life in Maine.

Is there anywhere where small dogs can go play in the winter? My two Italian Greyhounds have a lot of energy but not enough space to roam during these chilly days. A walk around the block reduces them to shaking.

Any ideas?
thanks.

In response to AC: With winter coming I've been thinking of organizing indoor adult dog (not puppy) playgroups in the Portland area on the weekends. Separate ones for small breed and large breeds, maybe even breed specific. If anyone is interested, email me and I'll let you know if there's enough interest and keep you updated.
