Autumn beach fun!

Well today we went to the nearest sandy beach to us, again :). The weather was fantastic and the dogs had a great time. Indi was so well behaved, and even said hello to one of my nans friends dogs for the first time and didnt bark or anything! He is getting so much better, Im so pleased with him. He did have that weird yellow goo come out of his bottom again, but it was nowhere near as bad as last time. Sea water really does not like his stomach. Shame he likes it so much!

Ernie went out really far today, he followed Indi right out and was really comfortable being there. Its hard to imagine that these two dogs this time last year wouldn't go anywhere near the sea. Ernie did have a barking problem though. He is a very loud dog when he does tricks and waits for his ball to be thrown. However, he is 100 times worst down Sandwich bay. I have no idea why. He would just bark and bark and bark when I was doing tricks with Indi or even picking up a stone to throw! His barking doesnt bother me, but it bothers everyone else! Crazy dog!

Well I was going to be going to a flyball comp tomorrow but am now not. It is an indoor one that I used to go to all the time. The problem is its freezing there and there is very little space to walk the dogs. As I wont be competing anyway and I have an exam next week I decided not to. Its the last one of the year so I wont be going to another comp until next year.

This year has gone so fast, its November already! I can't believe it! On the 19th it would have been exactily 2 years since Ben died. Its gone so fast, I hate it. Indi is no longer a puppy and his fur has finally got to a point where its not growing too much anymore. Ernie is 3 and has already achieved so much and come so far.

But, as usual Im getting ahead of myself. Still got another month to go:). The exams are starting up now and Im getting loaded with school work but I am still doing lots of training with the dogs. Indi's heelwork is getting a lot better and both him and Ernie have finally learnt a moving sit. I don't know why, but I had a lot of trouble with that. I am working mainly with both of them on obedience, the not pulling on the lead issue, heelwork and stays/waits. Well the stays/waits only apply to Indi, Ernie's are perfect we are just proofing them:).

So for now some pics from our walk:). It really was a great walk, I sure do love owning dogs!
