Real life Scooby Doo!

We've had a dog missing,but an extra dog added in this weekend.Mookie has gone away with her daddy for the weekend,but has been replaced with Django the baby Dobie.
He is such a big twit,very nice natured,stable and well balanced. :)
In the morning I helped teach some pet obedience classes,each of the dogs got to partake in a class too,then they came with me to Pete's to clean the Ferrets out,and play in his garden.After that I had to groom a dog,so they came with me,and messed around in the garden and grooming room for a couple of hours.
Django has gone home now,and his family report that he is knackered!




'He's behind me isn't he?'

'You're not having the tennis ball,or the sausage...got it?'
Nom nom nom!












Goofy puppy is goofy!

'I'll have that stick thanks puppy!'






 In the afternoon we went to have a try at Dock Diving.I have had a go with Bug before,who had all the enthusiasm in the world,but really cannot swim! He swims vertically!
Flooz hasn't tried before,and we only went off the ramp,not the Dock,even though we were encouraged to...but there is absolutly no rush.
So she stood on the ramp and screamed like a banshee with the frustration,and downright cheek of the Holy Orange Ball (chuckit ball) getting away.She went frantically after it several times,and tried to get out the side of the pool when she got it.
But then she calmed down a bit,and listened when I called her away from the edge and back to the ramp,and me.
I put her away after around 8 goes,to let her have a rest,and a think.About 20 mins later I got her out again,and sure enough she'd had a think,and was now going straight to the point on the ramp where she would have to go swimming and gave a little jump each time,to get things going a bit faster.
That girl is literally a superstar at whatever she does,she is just hampered by me not having enough money to train her.

A Double Doodle who was a natural!

Best hair for photos ever!

I love the jumping Lab,and the ball in the sky behind her.

'Dammit orange bally....GET BACK HERE!!!!'

Look at her little front paw,she would try to reach it with her paw...even though it was several feet away.


Shame this one is out of focus.

  1. Hi Nicola!

    It's me again, Tammy the Marketing Coordinator at The Uncommon Dog. We just finished another informative info-graphic that I thought you might be interested in. It's titled "How Dogs Became Our Best Friends!".

    If you love dogs, like we do, then you'll love this story. Recent scientific breakthroughs have increased our understanding about how dogs have come to play such an integral part of our daily lives. This fun and engaging info-graphic tells that story in a way that we hope makes it accessible and interesting to everyone.

    If you would like to share this info-graphic with your readers, please feel free to do so. You can find the info-graphic here: http://www.theuncommondog.com/how-dogs-became-our-best-friends.aspx Again, all we ask in return is that you link back to TheUncommonDog.com, in some way, from your post.

    Also, definitely let me know if you do decide to post it because we'd be happy to spread the word again about the blog post by linking to it from our Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ pages.

    If you'd like your e-mail removed from our mailing list, please let us know.
