We have an addition in the family that no one expected. The culprit was our cocker spaniel Misha. He brought a cat into the house!
This story lasted a week. Misha and I go out for a walk, and immediately a cat comes out from somewhere. And yesterday he flatly refused to go home, running up to me, then to the cat. Then I said, " Well, call her too." And the dog really called her somehow, because they went to the entrance together.
Вот перевод:
У нас в семье прибавление, которого никто не ждал. Виновником стал наш кокер-спаниель Миша. Он привел в дом кошку!
Эта история длилась неделю. Мы с Мишей выходим гулять, и тут же к нам откуда-то выходит кошка. И вот вчера он наотрез отказался идти домой, подбегал то ко мне, то к кошке. Тогда я сказала: "Ну, зови ее тоже". И пес ее действительно как-то позвал, потому что к подъезду они пошли уже вместе.
