In recent weeks I seem to have become near a full-time doggie caregiver.
Great fun was taking Sasha out off leash in Calgary. She would chase after me on my bike. (Walking at human speed is far too dull for dogs.)

Thinking I should acclaim myself a canine specialist, I chose the monicker “dog whisperer”. Dana rained on that parade telling me it was already copyrighted. So, … I’m the “dog whimperer”, instead.
What do you think?
Should I get one of these doggie backpacks next time I take care of Pete, the old Jack Russell who will not chase after my bike?

Note: Pete asked me to point out that that’s not him in the photo.

Well since you are officially a canine specialist, you should indeed have all the tricks and gadgets that go with that, so indeed buy a back pack for Pete!
