A couple of days ago, Trust, who never plays with "toys" decided to take the Frisbee and not let Blast have it. I'm sure he was totally surprised, but loved it. He adores Trust, and for her to tug on the Frisbee with him was really funny to watch. She shook it and wasn't going to let go, and Blast was a real gentleman, and "let her" rule! She finally did lose interest, and let him take it. Very cute.
Out on a trail walk, Blast never tires, no matter how hot it may be, to play ball.
On a separate walk, we did a few "David hides" for Kira. Hard to trick her...he has to throw the ball way, far away, and we tuck him in someplace, behind bushes. She HAS to get the ball, then runs back to find him. Above, she is scrunched up, almost running right into him coming around a bush off the trail.
Yesterday, on a walk with Tank and Kira, a little cooler in the evening and suddenly, off they go! Kira leads Tank on a huge run around and through the bushes and tall grassy areas, we only caught glimpses of them.
Finally, Tank pooped out, grabbed an old bone he found, and "stood his stance" just daring her to come back and get him. Of course, she did!
She's such a little witch! He lay down to "protect his bone" so she pushed and shoved, and pawed at him trying to get him up and engage. She ends up climbing and jumping on him, until he finally has enough.
Final straw, she plopped down on top of him, just after this, and he decided to get up and run. Off they go again!
Only our early mornings, and later evenings are the dogs active (me too!). Just been way too hot. I was lucky yesterday morning, and this morning, to be able to get out really early for a short track each day for Tank and Blast. This has been the only time we can do any work. Tomorrow morning, it's supposed to be down to 12, so will get Kira out on a track. Then another week plus up into high 20's and low 30's with very high humidity again. My training plans for entering tracking tests this fall are so far behind with this heat. Even again an early morning laid track for 2 hr. brings us up into the mid-twenties. No rain in sight, we so badly need it.
