appearance
city dog - shiny coat from organic shampoo and conditioner
country dog - what is a bath? and don't come near me with that brush
dental hygiene
city dog - strong white teeth from dental bones and chewing on Kong toy
country dog - strong white teeth from chewing on venison bones, tires and other camp treats left
apparel
city dog - a bandanna or at least a collar that reflects personality with shaped name tag (bone, heart, house, etc.)
country dog - what is a collar?
arrival
city dog - on a leash or at least waits patiently in the back seat of car
country dog - we don't need no stink'n leashes
health
city dog - up to date on all vaccines, heart worm, flea control and additional doggie multivitamins and what not to ensure that nothing harmful gets into the dogs system while at the country camp.
country dog - suck it up and learn to deal with a tick or too. We are decedents of wild animals.
exercise
city dog - taken on a daily 30 minute walk or jog as well as playing fetch, etc.....
country dog - free range! The world is my doggie park.
the result
city dog - jumps out of the car and in 5 minutes enters the stinky Louisiana bayou, runs through the marsh ruining said bandanna, plays tug of war with coco the country puppy for the venison bone - which will give him horrible gas - and wears him self out in about 20 minutes........so much for thinking my dog was in good shape.
moral of the story - it doesn't matter where you come from, we can all get along - just like our dogs. Just get out there and have some fun and don't worry about everything!
But it is funny and heart warming to see my "city" dog come running back to me every 5 minutes....just to make sure I haven't left him "in the country" - ha!
