Caleb's had a busy week...

Posted : 6/29/2012 4:01:22 PM

Since last Friday, we've done Nosework in 3 different places with about 10 hides each day (last Friday, then Tuesday and today this week). A couple hours after we got home from that last Friday, somebody from where we train came over to work on the new Rally signs. When we got done, Caleb and her Lab had a grand old time racing around the yard and playing in his pool. Saturday was a repeat of Rally. After finishing Nosework today, we went for a walk in the river where we usualy hike. Yes- in the river. Water depth varied from about mid-thigh to ankle deep. Nice way to get excercise and stay fairly cool at the same time, plus, if the dogs get too tired from swimming, they can walk along the edge (we were with two Nosework buddies). After we got home, Caleb took his usual "power nap" at 3. He was down for the count for over an hour, not even lifting his head when my husband went out the back door ( he usually naps for about a half hour). Since then, he's managed to get up, come in here and go back to sleep.

No pictures. None of us wanted to take the chance of taking an unexpected swim with our cameras. I went as far as leaving my wallet, phone and keys in the truck.

It sounds like a great week! It's a good thing you're remembering your power naps, Caleb!

WOW Caleb what an awesome week! I didn't tell Bugsy because then he would think he was horribly abused LOL

Sounds like a really great, smile-filled week Sue!

Wow - it made me tired just reading about your busy week, Caleb!

Isn't it nice when dogs have so much fun and they're so tired that you hardly hear a peep from them for a block of time? That's how Ruby is on days she's been to playgroup or if she goes to our friends' cabin for a weekend of playing and hiking with her "boyfriend" Max, the big Lab. She'll get up to eat, but otherwise, she keeps one spot on the couch very warm for a long while!
