The sun returns!

Well the sun finally returned, so I took the dogs down the beach! I took Ernie first, I went round the field first, then onto the first park, onto the beach, round to the second park and then home. We found a HUGE puddle at the field, so we stopped there for a bit and had a small photoshoot, whilst getting VERY muddy:). We had great fun and it really did open my eyes with how far he's come. He used to hate every other dog that came up to him, now he will go up to another dog and is completely friendly and today he even started playing with a Bichon Frise! He is such an amazing dog, yes he's still very shy around other people but that's ok because once he knows someone he adores them:). He really is such a cool little dog!

With Indi, I first went to the field so he could have a quick run around, then onto the beach, along to the park, quick stop at Grandmas and then home. This took 3 hours, and he was such a good boy! At the beginning of the walk we had one issue where he nearly pulled me over trying to eat a JRT but after that he was fine. We actually saw a lot of dogs on our walk and he only barked at one. I was pretty happy with that. When we were down the beach, there is a path that runs alongside and we were on the pebbles. A dog walked along the path and started barking at Indi. I put Indi in a down and then just got him focused on me with a stone. He looked towards the dog but other than that completely ignored it! Well done my little Indi! We also walked pretty close to some other dogs on the way back, and other than a bit of pulling he was great! It sure is taking a long time, but slowly he is getting better. He is turning into a real water dog, and absolutely adores the beach! I really do love my crazy Indi, as naughty as he is, he just wouldn't be my Indi if he wasn't :).

So, for how some pics from our walk. The rain is due to return to tomorrow, in fact it was even spitting when me and Indi were walking home but hey ho. I sure do love my dogs, they really are the best:).
