    Old Dogs Can Teach You New Tricks

    AT age 11 Oban has started eating horse poop. I think he may have noticed a dog we walk with getting lots of treats to persuade him not to eat it. So Oban is teaching me to give him treats or he will eat the stuff too. Which is well frozen, by the way. I think this because, he dropped a piece when told to and left other pieces when told to. And the last pile of droppings we found this morning clinches it. He just stood by it and looked at me with the thought bubble in his eyes/over his head clearly saying, "More horse poop Mum, treat me. Or else." Yep, an old dog CAN teach you new tricks.
