Pics from our walks

The weather has been just perfect over the past few days. No rain, but not too hot and not too cold. I prefer it when its cooler, as it means the dogs can go for longer walks and Ernie doesn't have to worry about getting sun burnt. Yesterday it was perfect, cloudy yet not too cold. Me and Ernie went for a really long walk to the beach, and he was happy about chasing the stones in and we both had lots of fun!

Today it was a bit hotter, and the sun was shining so we couldn't go for as long but still had tonnes of fun! The little kind-of campsite at the field that we use as agility jumps has now got some rocks set up that looked perfect as use for weaving! Ernie had never really done proper 1 footed weaving with jumps except leg weaving so we had a go. They were just rocks so he couldn't go that fast, but he got the idea really well and had a lot of fun! As I don't have agility equipment at home, my nan does, but I dont then I just use whatever Ive got! Logs may not be the best subsitute for jumps as he can just climb over the jumps, but when were running fast he does jump right over! It's good for teaching 'get outs' and just having lots of fun and also making our walks more interesting!

June pics

Well we've been having some gorgeous weather, and some not-so gorgeous weather! Ernie doesn't really care about the weather, so we've both been going on quite a few wet walks. Lola is not a big fan of the rain, but still likes to trot along sniffing. Max doesn't care at all and Indi loves it! He finds the rain a perfect opportunity to get as muddy as possible!

Over the past few days though the sun has been shining and the house has been mud-free. Theres meant to be more rain on the way though, so more muddy dogs!

I've been doing a lot of work with Ernie in building his confidence in water, and the puddles from the rain helped a lot. Down the park, it had turned into a kind of marsh land! I played fetch with Ernie in it, and got very wet, but it definantly helped Ernie's confidence in water. Oh, and we went to a lake at the weekend, and he went right out! I am so amazed at the progress he has made, considering he used to never go anywhere near water, except when it was frozen. Now, he will go running through the puddles, chase stones and balls into the sea and into lakes and now is much happier about having baths!



Here's a collage of some pics of Ernie over the past few weeks!

And a stunning photo of Ernie taken earlier today!

Little Chinese Water Dragon!

Today we got a little baby Chinese Water Dragon! Were not sure if its a boy or girl yet as its only 4 weeks old! We've named it Jasper, but if its a girl we can always change it to Jazz! It is so cute, and so small considering its going to grow to 3 feet! It has the longest tail in the world and is just such a cutie! :)

Lola puppy pics!

I found some puppy pictures of Lola and decided to make a collage of them! She was such a cute and very naughty pup! The pics range from the first time I met her at 3 weeks, to when she was about 5 months old! :)
