Bobik

A mostly good dog. Notes from his humans.

Bobik came to us from a shelter as a nervous one-year-old who refused to walk past rubbish bins. He is seven now, still suspicious of bins, and has opinions about every squirrel in the park.

Daily routine

Breakfast at seven, a long walk along the river, a nap in the only patch of sun in the flat, and a second walk that always takes longer than planned. Evenings are for chewing things he is not supposed to chew.

Things Bobik likes

Cheese, rain (unexpectedly), the neighbour’s cat from a safe distance, and car rides that end at the beach.

Things Bobik does not like

Bins, the vacuum cleaner, baths, and being told that the walk is over.
