You Want Me To Go Where?

By: Debbie63 Comments

She Can’t Speak…

But her eyes say it all…

She is not going outside without putting up some resistance.

you want me to go where?

This picture was taken at just after six thirty on a cold morning this week. When I get up in the morning, the dogs get up too and (usually) quite happily go outside to do their business, but this week the weather has taken a turn and this little dog hasn’t been too keen on going out .

We knew the mild weather couldn’t last, but the cold has been a bit of a shock to the system, including the dogs too by the look of it. Winter has finally arrived!

The first things I do on a morning is put the kettle on and get the fire going, so when Rascal got out of her bed, instead of heading for the front door to go out with the other dogs, she wondered over and plonked herself in front of the fire… I can’t say I blame her.

At first she sat there, facing the fire and hoping if she sat still and didn’t look at me, that somehow I wouldn’t notice her.

She looked so cute that I picked up my camera, said the magic word ”outside” and she shot me this; ”You want me to go where?” look over her shoulder.

I can’t repeat what she said to me when I picked her up and (gently) slung her outside. To add to her pain the other dogs passed her as they came back in from the cold.

Are your dogs happy to go outside in the cold or do they slink away shooting you a ”You want me to go where?” kind of look over their shoulder?debs random writings

About Debbie

Hello, I’m Debbie (also known as ChirpyDebs) and thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Now the children are all grown up I’m happiest when I’m out with the dogs or hiking a trail with my camera in hand. My blog is where I like to share photographs showing the wild beauty of Zakynthos that most people don’t get to see, recipes and other seemingly random things that come to mind.

      Hi Beth, Rascal is probably not much different than a child, except she spits her bone out rather than her dummy when she doesn't get her own way. She is cute and she knows it. Thank you for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...Man Made TunnelsMy Profile

      Hi Jeremy, we had a couple of house bunnies that had the freedom of inside and out and they were no better! But slightly cuter... Don't tell the dog I said that. Thanks for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...Man Made TunnelsMy Profile

      Hi Suzanne, your dogs would probably roast if they were outside in the summer where you are. Ours are probably outside more in the winter than the summer as it gets too hot for them then. Thanks for commenting. xx Debbie recently posted...Man Made TunnelsMy Profile

      Hi Agent, is it really that obvious? Mmm, I was hoping it wasn't, but please don't tell her or she'll make our lives hell! She is a little dog with a big enough attitude as it is. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. xx Debbie recently posted...Feeling IntriguedMy Profile

    Ha ha I love that look. My dog is exactly the same. If it is sowing I have to go out with her!! We even tried a litter tray to solve the problem which didn't work but you should have seen the look I got for that misdemeanour:-D #animaltales

      Hi I can just imagine the look she shot you. Our little dog would do the same, I'm sure. Luckily we don't really get snow here we'd probably have to get her a dog nappy! Thank you for stopping by. xx

      Hi, they are funny creatures aren't they? They have us wrapped around their little claws really and one bat of their eyelids and we almost fall for it. Thank you for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...Man Made TunnelsMy Profile

    Oh my goodness, she is adorable. I really can't blame her for sitting by the fire. If I had a fire like that I don't think I would move from it all day! #abitofeverything x

      Hi Jen, I could understand if it was Arctic outside, but this little dog is spoiled. She could be in and out in five minutes. Saying that though I'm none to keen to venture to the loo myself on a chilly night. Thanks for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...Man Made TunnelsMy Profile

      Hi Izzie, aren't pets funny (and spoiled). The same little dog tries to avoid going out last thing too. The other dogs go out no problem, but she slinks off to her bed. Thank you for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...Man Made TunnelsMy Profile

    Athena absolutely gives us that look before going out in the winter. And yet if I take her to the dog park, she doesn't even require a sweater or jacket like other dogs. She just gleefully leads me proudly around and around. Tamara recently posted...Life, Reimagined.My Profile

      Hi Tracey, neither do I really. And thank you. The cast iron stove is one of the best things we've ever bought, before it we would get up in the morning and our breath would form condensation it was so cold in the house. We had central heating, but it was expensive to run. The stove ensures the main rooms are always warm. Olive wood is really easy to come by here as the olive trees get cut back when the olives are harvested and being a hard wood it burns really well. We have a few tonnes of the stuff out side, some for this years burning and some for next. Thanks for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...5 Reasons Why You Should Holiday In ZakynthosMy Profile

    Saari, being half Husky, loves the cold and it's rain she detests ... ah and early mornings WHATEVER the weather. As for the cat, he takes a lot of persuading to go out and in cold weather will go no further than his litter tray in the porch. I have a very similar photo of him in front of a roaring wood burner with a "I am ignoring you" look bout him! Have a look at #MySundayPhoto for something a bit warmer though ;) Rosie @Eco-Gites of Lenault recently posted...Silent Sunday - January 24th 2016My Profile
