kinsk Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Ours have been so funny today, the wind has definitely got them going. The two pups have barely stopped all day other than for a quick power nap after lunch. They've bee tearing round the field, digging and digging, wrestling and just generally having a great time. Lovely to watch them, and should hopefully mean a nice quiet evening when they come in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thats nice, what sort of pups do you have? Mine love the wind too, especially in a place called Boltons Bench in the forest as its quite high, my cocker runs around like a mad thing with little Lulu the Dachshund keeping up, they both have big ears so they flap around in the wind.

kinsk Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 they both have big ears so they flap around in the wind. We've got a rottie pup who's just over 6 months old and a Jack Russell pup who's 10 months old. Also got another JR but he's had to go and stay with my parents-in-law as little Pip is having her first season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmashazzie Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 My dog is the opposite,she is very nervy and if it is windy she is very reluctant to go outside,she jumps at the slightest noise.We socialised her well,we had 2 Labradors for most of her life,she is 2 yet she is terrified of other dogs.

HarrisonFamily Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Well known fact the wind sends dogs and children totally crazy !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yes, Tango has been going loopy in wind, but like Grandmashazzie's dog also gets quite jumpy too The snow totally sent her wild too, moreso than the wind - I took her out for a long walk a couple of days after the snow fell (somewhere we go at least a couple of times a week) and she spent most of the walk as a small dot zipping about on the horizon, at one point I spotted her coursing a *ahem* big bunny at top speed in the opposite direction to me, by which point my nerves were totally shredded! Looking forward to some more normal weather soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Our oldest dog Kia does not like the wind - not at all In her view, trees should stand still, not jump around, and should definitely not be dropping branches. They also shouldn't be making a screaming noise. She is very clear about this and if you're silly enough to suggest she might want to go out in the run in that weather, she will give you the LOOK The other two were not impressed by the high wind, but did as they were asked. Kia gave me the LOOK ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Children are definitely worse than dogs - when I was a teacher I used to dread windy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Reminded me of a windy day my son was dropping his 4 year old to school.They were getting blown along the school path when Alfie stopped,looked up to the sky,shook his fist and shouted God,stop this wind at once.

The Dogmother Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Funnily enough, I was saying just the same thing last week when walking with a friend and her hounds - it seems to send them mad... her horses are the same too. One day, I gave up trying to battle up a hill in the sideways wind, the hounds were looning around and I was really struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsk Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 It definitely makes the horses skittish and jumpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Horses are terrible in wind! They get really jumpy and seem to be convinced that there are killer beasts lurking behind every bush I had a totally miserable walk with the dog this afternoon, the wind was unbelievably strong and despite being wrapped up like an arctic explorer the wind was biting - my eyes and nose were streaming and my ears were actually painful. At one point I was struggling to make any forward progress as the wind was blowing right into me. In the end I gave up, stuck Tango on her lead and let her pull me along. I'm not sure she was impressed, she was having a lovely time zipping around in the wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammy72 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 YES! I am training my rescue dog on a lead and he was driving me mad the other day pulling, when he had been so good recently. Then I realised that the wind was blowing down the road straight at us, with all those lovely smells of things he could hunt! I changed direction and he was back under control!!!
