Of canines, azure skies and wind enough to go surfing

On Saturday the weather was cold and stormy but the sky was amazingly blue and the sun was out!! His Hubbiness™ took Chica and Cenour to the river Rhine and took some beautiful pictures.

Chica and her thick winter fur, we need to get her trimmed a bit as it gets more difficult to comb through though.

Almost blown off by the wind :)


The old poser :D


My cuddly little sunshine


Yep, you see right ... windsurfer on the river Rhine in between the ships and boats transporting goods.


Chica is very well. She is still a little terror, but she sleeps a lot more than before. But so far she doesn't show any signs of illness and I hope she will stay with us a lot longer. On Saturday she will reach her next milestone - yet another Southern Dogs Walking Event where she can meet her doggy friends. So we live from one week to the next. I love her so much, my little sunshine.

Yep ... I think he would enjoy a good hunt. Did you ever think of doing some mantrailing or dummy work with him? SO he can use his exceptionally good nose?

I don't know what those are; what are they?

Mantrailing is where the dog has to find a person just from finding him by smelling. A lot of dogs are able to do that and they have fun sniffing and finding the right way.

Dummy work is just that ... you work with a dummy (usually a pouch with treats in it that smell good). Then you show the dummy to the dog, let him sniff and then you throw it away and the dog has to find the dummy. By successful retrieval he gets a treat out of the pouch.
