MARCH
25/03 |
|
KING GOT A NEW ROOMMATE. A NEW
PUPPY
WAS INTRODUCED TO HIM. |
|
|
|
KING HAS BECOME A LITTLE MORE AGGRESSIVE SINCE THE NEW PUPPY
(MAJOR). UNFORTUNATELY, HE IS NOW TRYING TO CAPTURE RABBITS, GROUND
HOGS AND SQUIRRELS TO HARM THEM INSTEAD OF JUST CHASING THEM. KING
WILL ONLY TAKE SO MUCH FROM MAJOR THEN HE WILL GIVE SMALL (5
SECONDS) AMOUNTS OF AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS HIM, NEVER WITH THE INTENTION
OF HURTING HIM. KING IS STARTING TO GET MORE STUBBORN WITH ME IN
LISTENING.
I BELIEVE THIS IS FROM JEALOUSY |
|
MAY
1/03 |
|
FISHING SEASON IS HERE AS WELL AS SUMMER SO KING WILL BE OUT
ON ADVENTURES (FISHING, HIKES, VISITS, SOCIALIZING TO OTHER
ANIMALS/PETS, ETC.) FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE SUMMER.

MAY
30/03 |
|
KING KILLED A GROUND HOG. HE THREW IT AROUND AND WHEN IT
TRIED TO DEFEND ITSELF HE JUST GOT MORE AGGRESSIVE.
|
|
JUNE
6/03 |
|
KING TRIED TO KILL ANOTHER GROUNDHOG, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL
CAUSE I JUMPED IN THE WAY. HE STOPPED WHEN I GOT CLOSE TO HIM BUT
ATTACKED IT AGAIN WHEN MAJOR GOT NEAR IT AND WAS ABOUT TO ATTACK
MAJOR BUT KING GOT IT'S ATTENTION BACK. (A LITTLE PROTECTION THERE) |
|
JUNE
16/03 |
|
KING KILLED A BABY BUNNY TODAY WHILE WE WERE FISHING, HE
WOULD NOT LISTEN TO ME. HIS ACTIONS WERE SCARY AND DIFFERENT FROM
USUAL. HE CHEWED THE BUNNY UNTIL IT DIDN'T MOVE ANYMORE. |
|
JUNE
17/03 |
|
WHILE FISHING, AS ALWAYS KING GETS VERY EXCITED AND RUNS
PLACE TO PLACE. WHILE DOING SO ON ONE OF OUR MOVES, HE RAN BY ME AND
CAUGHT MY LURE'S HOOK IN HIS EAR. IT WAS REMOVED LATER THAT DAY BY
THE VET. KING DOES HAVE A FASCINATION WITH LURES WHEN I FISH BUT ON
THIS OCCASION HE WAS NOT TRYING TO GET IT. HE ALSO GOT HOLD OF
ANOTHER BABY BUNNY BUT I SAW HIS ACTIONS AND STOPPED HIM BEFORE HE
COULD EVEN TOUCH IT. |
|
JUNE 17
- JULY 18 |
|
KING HAS COME BACK TO ALMOST HIS NORMAL SELF. ABOUT 2 WEEKS
AGO HE STARTED TO SHOW MAJOR THAT HE WASN'T TAKING ANYMORE OF HIS
AGGRESSIVE PLAYING. IT WAS SOON AFTER THAT THAT KING'S ATTITUDE
CHANGED AND HE ALSO STARTED TO LISTEN MORE TO ME AGAIN. KING HAS
GIVEN MAJOR A FEW AGGRESSIVE ATTACKS, BUT TO THE POINT TO SCARE HIM
AND NOT HURT HIM. I IGNORED WHAT KING DOES AND NEITHER APPRAISED OR
SCOLDED HIM FOR DOING IT. WELL, IT WORKED AND TOOK SOME TIME. I ALSO
THINK KING BELIEVES THAT MAJOR IS NO LONGER A PUPPY TO HIM AS HE IS
GROWING AND NOW HALF KING'S SIZE. I'VE NOTICED THAT KING'S ENERGY
LEVEL HAS GOT A LITTLE SMALLER YET HE STILL WANTS TO DO THE SAME AS
HE USE WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER. APPROXIMATELY, 13 DAYS AGO KING STARTED
TO CHARGE UPCOMING PEOPLE, BARKING AND RUNNING DIRECTLY AT THEM.
THEN WHEN HE GOT THERE, HE'D STOP AND CIRCLE THEM AND THEN COME BACK
TO ME. THAT HAS STOPPED AND ONLY LASTED FOR MAX. OF 3 DAYS. KING HAS
NOT HARMED OR KILLED ANY WILDLIFE AND HAS SHOWN HIS ACTIONS TO AS HE
JUST WANTS TO CHASE THEM AGAIN. EVEN THOUGH HE STILL SEARCHES THEM
OUT. KING STILL LOOKS OUT FOR MAJOR EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. IF
SOMEONE APPROACHES MAJOR HE ALWAYS HAS ATTENTION TOWARDS HIM. AT
THIS POINT I THINK KING HAS ACCEPTED MAJOR AS PART OF OUR FAMILY BUT
THERE STILL REQUIRES SOME TIME. |

JULY
'03 |
|
KING AND I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT LATELY (AS USUAL). WALKS,
FISHING, CATCHING MINNOWS FOR FISHING AND FOR FEEDERS. KING GOES
EVERYWHERE I DO, EXCEPT FOR WORK, WHEN HE STAYS HERE TO DO ONE OF
HIS MANY JOBS. |
|
OCT/DEC'03 |
|
PUPPY WAS
GIVEN AWAY TO A FARM |
|
AUG'03-
APRIL'07 |
|
TOO MUCH
TO MENTION HERE BUT KING & I HAVE BEEN DOING THE SAME THINGS .
FISHING WALKS, HIKES. SINCE THE PUPPY IS GONE, KING STOP BEING
AGGRESSIVE TO THE WILDLIFE. BACK TO CHASING SQUIRRELS &
BUNNIES JUST FOR THE FUN. KING HAS SLOWED DOWN A LOT AND THIS WINTER
HE SLOWED DOWN MORE THAN USUAL. WINTERS ARE A BREAK FOR HIM & I BUT
WE USUALLY KEEP ACTIVE ENOUGH FOR EXERCISE. HIS AGE IS SETTING
IN ON HIM ON WHAT HE CAN DO AND FOR HOW LONG. KING'S FRIEND,
DUSTY (NEIGHBOUR'S DOG) PASSED AWAY IN AUGUST 2006. KING & I
ARE GETTING READY FOR SPRING & SUMMER ACTIVITIES. |
|
MAY 2007 |
|
DUE TO KING'S SPEEDY RECOVERY, WE HAVE GONE FISHING
MANY TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEK. HE SEEMS TO BE GETTING BETTER EACH
TIME WE GO. I HAVE DOUBLE HIS DAILY VITAMINS. MANY MORE TRIPS TO
COME. |
|
SUMMER 2007 |
|
KING & I ONLY WENT FISHING A FEW TIMES, NOT LIKE
PREVIOUS YEARS. WE WENT HIKING, CAUGHT MINNOWS,, WALKS AND PLAYTIME
IN THE YARD. |

OCT 8, 2007 |
|
KING PASSED AWAY AT 6:50PM. :( HE WAS NOT SICK AND IT WAS
SUDDEN. |
KING,
YOU'LL BE GREATLY MISSED. NO OTHER DOG CAN/WILL TAKE YOUR PLACE. YOUR NAME
SAYS IT ALL WHAT YOU MEANT TO ME. BEST 11 YEARS OF MY LIFE.
