Girls Just Want To Have Fun

I told you last week that we're letting Sydney and Mac spend part of the day in the back yard playing. It's been going really well. They go out for about three hours in the morning, then again after dinner till almost dark. When they come inside, they're nice and tired and spend all evening snoozing on the couch.

Everyone has benefited. The girls are getting lots of exercise and the other dogs are feeling less tension caused by naughty puppies getting into trouble. Win win.

Rob threw this toy for the girls the other day. It's a bumper attached to a ball with a thick rope. They like it because they can both carry it at the same time. They both chase after it.

Mac would like to bring it back to be thrown again, she's all about the chase.

Sydney likes to claim all the toys as her own.

They wind up in a wrestling match and usually forget all about the toy.

 I spoke with our vet about the behavior problems we were having with the two little ones, especially Syd. He agrees that they are probably happier being outside more and getting lots of exercise.

Syd caught her first lizard. The lizard managed to get away but he left his tail behind. Syd, Mac and several of the Water Dogs were having a great time rolling on the little tail till Rob disposed of it. Dogs can be such dogs!

Don't they look happy?
