Chillin’ Out in the Garden

Posted on June 2, 2010 by Susan

We decided to have an easy day today. A gentle stroll along the cycle path this morning then lazing about in the garden for the rest of the day.

It wasn’t just Beanie and Biggles humping in the garden today….

More Fun on the Gym Ball

Posted on May 31, 2010 by Susan

Biggly Boy

Any treats for me in there?

Nearly got it

Bit wobbly

Right leg

Left leg

Almost there

Whoops – never take your eye off the treat!

Oi, keep your head still mum!

And we’re up!

Beanie

Oooh treats – what are we playing now?

Oi – bring that back down here!

A bit wobbly

That’s better

Going up…

A little bit of cheating

Starting to balance the ball herself

Check this out – no one holding the ball!

Gimme five!

Make that ten.

Some Battles We Just Can’t Win

Posted on May 31, 2010 by Susan

Walking to heel – check.
Coming when called – yes, even that…usually.
Heelwork to music – no problem.
Letting us go through the door first – no probs.
Giving up a stolen sock without protest – it took a while, but yup.
Sitting and waiting until he’s told to dive nose first into his dinner – absolutely.

But there are some battles we just can’t win:

Beanie at least knows she’s not allowed on the table. She jumps off quickly as soon as she see’s us coming. Or at the very least she respects us enough to run FAST after jumping up onto the table and swiping the food off our fork as it makes it’s way to our mouth.

But Biggly Boy….”It looks nice up there. I think I’ll get up there”. Then FLOP. “zzzzzzzzzzzzzz”. He never touches our food – he just likes to be on the table.
