Day 27 - Lucy's Second Training Session

We took Lucy to her second training session, and she had her face Halti fitted. We had to walk her around the shop, and for once - possibly the first time since we got her -  we have been able to walk her like a calm, relaxed dog.
And she didn't try to steal any toys or fat-balls (I know.) this time! Which was wonderful!

Well, she's always exited, that's the problem. She's always fascinated by everything she sees, whether its a bird, a ball, a stick, a tree.... She loves it, and she just wants to go and see it.... Even when we're on a short lead and she runs off and drags us down the road.

She has learned sit and wait within about three weeks. And it is one month Tomorrow since we got her! The time month has flown by!

We also took her to the beach for the first time on Sunday (photos coming soon) and she loved it! She ran around, licking everything in sight and saying hello to anyone she could get to.

She drank the sea water until we pulled her away, and didn't even seem to dislike it much (yuck!) but we also bought her a dog water bottle - and no it's not another one of those stupid inventions which dogs don't really need. I mean, granted she doesn't  NEED it, but it means she can have a drink of water when we are out, without us having to search for some clean water in a bowl.

The 'tray' flips over and you squeeze the bottle, then she can just drink from the tray, its a brilliant idea!

Check back soon for more photos!

Day 17 - Lucy Gets Some Randoms....

We came downstairs to find Lucy munching her way through a packet of Randoms, which she DID seem to enjoy.... Although she shouldn't be getting used to it!

She's so funny when playing catch, and jumps and bounces like a lamb, not a dog.... It's very cute, and I'll try and catch some film of it for YouTube at some point.

We also took her to the pet shop and asked about her scratching. They told us it is likely to be just her fur and hair adjusting, which we thought was probably the case.

I'll be starting my own training with her soon, so I'll try and get some footage and photos of that too!

She's still as happy and crazy as ever, and made a few friends on her walk in the afternoon.

She enjoyed her walk, and had fun at the pet shop, making loads of friends and getting treats. She didn't try to steal any toys either....

Apologies for the lack of videos - I haven't much time to record, so I will be posting videos when BIG things happen, such as:
  • Training
  • Funny stories
  • Big walks
  • Hair cuts and washes etc.
I hope you guys don't mind about the videos being quite infrequent, but there isn't much I can video everyday. There will probably be more videos during the weekends though!
