Like balance, for instance!<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VOuULgMiRRE" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="335" width="600"></iframe><br /><br />Strange surfaces are another - I'll make Gummi go onto any strange thing I can find.<br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/atGaHlnNs6w" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="335" width="600"></iframe><br />There was a little balance lesson in there, too, but less pronounced than on the log.<br /><br />Any place/object you always introduce your puppy to? Or other important lessons you always remember? Please tell us about them, it's always nice to hear what others think and get new ideas.<br /><br />AneThe WriggleButtshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10595759862958896382noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062277900485437297.post-43644717252544363362011-10-04T17:11:00.002+02:002011-10-04T17:18:21.415+02:00Walking to Aukevarden<a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Oktober%202011/?action=view&current=Foto5324.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Oktober%202011/Foto5324.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />Gummi is finally old enough to come along for some slightly longer walks!

BUT - it gives a little peek into a fairly normal training session with Gummi. We worked on some behaviors we haven't used in a while, which increased his frustration levels a bit.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0nWu4PcV_Ro" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="437" width="600"></iframe><br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TI0Ob6oTmQI" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="437" width="600"></iframe><br /><br />AneThe WriggleButtshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10595759862958896382noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062277900485437297.post-66352622308079697852011-10-02T10:15:00.002+02:002011-10-02T10:21:29.069+02:00Therapy DogBajas got to try his paw as a therapy dog yesterday. My grandpa has pneumonia and I took the dogs along since I was gone most of the day. Bajas got to spend most of the time inside, since Gummi is a bit too much all over the place yet..<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Oktober%202011/?action=view&current=Foto5296_.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Oktober%202011/Foto5296_.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />I was quite impressed with Bajas, he behaved perfectly. He'll always follow me if I leave the room (I teach them this as puppies, so they don't get into any mischief when I can't see them), but we have a "stay" hand signal I used when I left the room, and he would stay. Good puggie!<br /><br />Gummi did get to go running in the garden, and visit HIS grandpa a little later in the day. And we did some work on a new "spin" trick when we came home.<br /><br />We are not good bloggers lately, please forgive us. I'm so very busy with an internship as part of my degree and when I have time over it's mostly used to train and walk Gummi and a little couch time with Bajas. Now I have a week off (fall break), but then another 5 weeks of the madness, so it won't pass for a while yet. Hopefully we'll get some blogging and catching up done this week, though!<br /><br />Ane & the WriggleButtsThe WriggleButtshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10595759862958896382noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062277900485437297.post-80802955369968239102011-10-01T12:43:00.000+02:002011-10-01T12:47:28.745+02:00Foggy Saturday<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTdeaAk_vH8Y6i5HoHq3GcPZZn9g5OswohCn3THn7PsePbWLV7JzOjNHrk5BgZLIFTtloObVU2j157DZSJfUJmKmKyv7cEb3UDxPfVEwRcjSO6pdBWqJYgfkWTD01_BEBBHlrTrfOQ_rg/s1600/%253D%253Futf-8%253Fb%253FRm90bzUyODcuanBn%253F%253D-748746"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTdeaAk_vH8Y6i5HoHq3GcPZZn9g5OswohCn3THn7PsePbWLV7JzOjNHrk5BgZLIFTtloObVU2j157DZSJfUJmKmKyv7cEb3UDxPfVEwRcjSO6pdBWqJYgfkWTD01_BEBBHlrTrfOQ_rg/s320/%253D%253Futf-8%253Fb%253FRm90bzUyODcuanBn%253F%253D-748746" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658473596184831858" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifqsUhqkmJyE8D6_cYgWwH0ap44i3Wkg76R9NHErSNfy5QtVuke719ggSUt57weMu0eytmbCsCE_CbErAwyR_IIYfy46m2RjSWqf7PrwkfoU9BTLbERvrjQWwosv_54WGmOHxLIGqK6JY/s1600/%253D%253Futf-8%253Fb%253FRm90bzUyOTIuanBn%253F%253D-750486"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifqsUhqkmJyE8D6_cYgWwH0ap44i3Wkg76R9NHErSNfy5QtVuke719ggSUt57weMu0eytmbCsCE_CbErAwyR_IIYfy46m2RjSWqf7PrwkfoU9BTLbERvrjQWwosv_54WGmOHxLIGqK6JY/s320/%253D%253Futf-8%253Fb%253FRm90bzUyOTIuanBn%253F%253D-750486" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658473604599567298" /></a></p>The WriggleButtshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10595759862958896382noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062277900485437297.post-7420270069408261632011-09-20T11:19:00.000+02:002011-09-20T11:20:51.700+02:00Sleepy<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHVJgWfZL0ebWgZr1hwvbPM5q_Rp9hiq94jmFB4PRZv7X89FwkukTd_Y_1Db21fn7r_K_5Y2DwbbDjXsGakeV5nbdDzdrtfm9usBM5jXeeSY9dRGQIXnLUrt0FcDuUB_VOE1J_ie_hh_E/s1600/%253D%253Futf-8%253Fb%253FRm90bzUyMzMuanBn%253F%253D-751701"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHVJgWfZL0ebWgZr1hwvbPM5q_Rp9hiq94jmFB4PRZv7X89FwkukTd_Y_1Db21fn7r_K_5Y2DwbbDjXsGakeV5nbdDzdrtfm9usBM5jXeeSY9dRGQIXnLUrt0FcDuUB_VOE1J_ie_hh_E/s320/%253D%253Futf-8%253Fb%253FRm90bzUyMzMuanBn%253F%253D-751701" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654369343219321906" /></a></p>The WriggleButtshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10595759862958896382noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062277900485437297.post-79780571787275939142011-09-17T14:06:00.002+02:002011-09-17T14:10:57.171+02:00Silly Saturday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_0PgBFGjlbSbHjsqaDk6n_BytbuWxnwKwPn5ZUi1AU7WIGxJZ6LdWP0D7FrIbi04vAqPityhOG6MkpXrQU9cE5vYXe90sIpdKe94J3apP5KJmhQLdOw2PANmlpLhIFH_2TUPsvKzSWFw/s1600/h%25C3%25B8sttur+005_crop.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_0PgBFGjlbSbHjsqaDk6n_BytbuWxnwKwPn5ZUi1AU7WIGxJZ6LdWP0D7FrIbi04vAqPityhOG6MkpXrQU9cE5vYXe90sIpdKe94J3apP5KJmhQLdOw2PANmlpLhIFH_2TUPsvKzSWFw/s400/h%25C3%25B8sttur+005_crop.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653299549752067618" border="0" /></a><br />I went through the pictures Mom took from their walk yesterday and this expression gave me a good giggle!

Mom seemed to be home from school, and should have spent the entire day having fun with us... But apart from this little walk and a few training sessions she spent all her time hovering above a pile of papers!? She mumbled something about having to correct 30 essays, but that didn't seem hard at all. I could have shredded those papers for her in less than five minutes.

<br />Mom and I was there all day, while Bajas and P.A. stayed at the cottage and watched movies and relaxed. P.A. didn't want to come with all the people and Mom didn't have enough arms or mentals to handle two dogs all day. BOL.. Plus - it was my family!

<br />Pretty handy to have lots of space with all these visitors, huh?

<br />This little cutie is called Cabby! She's from Norway, but live in Sweden now - opposite of what I do!

<br />We did some boring stuff, too - like sitting still while the hoomans learned stuff. I was very good, though, as Mom had the clicky-thing and treats. Can you see my nose is all dirty from playing in the sand with Bris?
<br />

<br />
<br />First of all I just want to apologize for our absence lately.. it's just a bit too much going on at once with a puppy/training, trying to get things sorted in the new house and I'm back to Uni with several papers and stuff going on (one draft and one essay is already handed in so far this term).
<br />
<br />It was the second practical night at puppy school today and we had fun!
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/?action=view&current=august11015.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/august11015.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>

<br />

<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/?action=view&current=august11016.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/august11016.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />And this was why - much more fun outside with the other puppies!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/?action=view&current=august11023.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/august11023.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />More puppies!
<br />
<br />We started out with a little walking session around the parking lot to get the puppies more used to being around each other. Then we did some leash work. Gummi did pretty good!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/?action=view&current=august11026.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/august11026.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />The weather people were on our side, too - that rain in the distance arrived just as we were getting into our cars and going back home. We got some thunder, though, which I'm sure was beneficial for the puppies (having fun and training with thunder in the background must be helpful in avoiding thunder phobia).
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/?action=view&current=august11029.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/august11029.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />Then we did some "doggie zen" training - all the little bowls have treats in them and the puppies are not allowed to take it until given permission. Gummi had done some of this already, so we skipped the first few basic steps.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/?action=view&current=august11030.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/august11030.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />Our treat bowl with a yummy piece of raw lamb heart.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/?action=view&current=august11031.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/Valpekurs%202011/august11031.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />Even with me distracted with the camera he didn't try to take it without permission. He's getting really good! He's even better with permission to leave his crate - I can jump around and say other words and even his name and he won't come out until I give the actual cue!

Of course it was raining.. And the weather report said rain all night..

As you can see the asphalt is dry! Yay! It didn't rain the entire hour we were there, which was brilliant. We did some contact training (puppy earns clicks for looking at you, and then progressed to following when the owner walks backwards). Gummi already knew this pretty well, so it was nice to mainly focus on the new disturbances (crazy kids comes to mind - one of the puppies had two legged siblings that were.. ahem.. rather active). After the break we worked on the hand target. He knew this, too, so we got to up the difficulty a bit and he did pretty well.

In the end he didn't need it, and by the time he'll need it again he'll most likely have outgrown it. Could have needed it on our walk today. It wasn't raining so I suggested a walk - in the middle of the forest it started to pour down. We were all completely soaked when we got home! But Gummi got to run and sniff, saw a horse (very exciting!), a biker and a few people out walking. Now we're ready for bed!

Mom went to our puppy class theory night on Wednesday and among other things they got a nice booklet with lots of stuff for us to work on. Mom and I were rather proud when we handed it to P.A. - he looked through it and said "But you've DONE lots of these things!?". Because yes, we had! But there was also lots of things we haven't mastered yet and one of the things on the socialization list was: take the puppy to a dog show. So, when Mom discovered there was a big dog show THIS weekend.. Well.. You can imagine.
<br />
<br />This morning we got up early, drove to the station and found a train!
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto5000.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto5000.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />
<br />Once we reached Oslo we found a bus!
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto5001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto5001.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />The bus driver was very nice, and chatted with Mom most of the way to the show. He talked about the dogs from his home village that guard the sheep and cattle. I also got to talk with a German lady. Neither of us speaks German, but she could scritch and kiss me just like anyone else.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto5003.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto5003.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />Then we arrived at the craziest place I have ever been!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto5005.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto5005.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />Did you SEE that thing, Mom? It smelled like a dog, but it looked like a walking mop!?
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto5006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto5006.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />We saw very skinny whipped dogs.. (Whippets, Gummi, they're called Whippets!)
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto5010.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto5010.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />...dogs the size of houses (or at least a car)..
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto5013.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto5013.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />..dogs running over and under and through all sorts of stuff.. It truly was amazing. We walked through a lot of different little shops that sold yummies and toys and such, but Mom didn't get me anything. Unfair!! I got loads of kisses from people working there or walking by, and I spoke to lots of different dogs. An American Cocker Spaniel, a Bordeaux Dogge, a Whippet, a Boxer, a Jack Russel and probably some I've forgotten.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto5018.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto5018.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />Then we got back on the bus and then the train and then the car and when we were driving home the rain started. Pretty good timing, huh?
<br />
<br />Now it's time for a nap! Hope you've done some fun stuff this weekend, too. I hope there are more adventures in that booklet.
<br />
<br />Kisses,
<br />Gummi

<br />We apologize for the lousy pictures - Casper's furs seem to make the phone camera go crazy..

Gummi here! Yesterday Mom and I had lots of fun! The weather was nice and P.A. was working early, so we got up fairly early and caught his second train of the day in to Oslo. I didn't even know what was happening when Mom and I got in the car and down to the station (been there several times) but then we got onto this new train and we found P.A. there! Can you believe it? Here he is:
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4838.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4838.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4837.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4837.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />Mom sat down on this strange seat WAY up high so she could see out that high window. I eventually gave up climbing up there, though. And then the nice lady who was also working on this train came by and talked with me a bit, too.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4840.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4840.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />Then we got off at the National Theater station, Oslo's only underground train station and one of the two down town stations.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4843.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4843.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />We walked for a little while and took a little rest and I drank some water. Mom brought the clicker and a lot of hot dog pieces and I made her click it a whole lot of times for simple things like staying close and such.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4844.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4844.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />It was very nice and sunny, and quite a few tourists were out and about.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4845.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4845.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4846.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4846.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />So many nice places to sniff, too!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4850.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4850.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />We took another break here by this fountain.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4851.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4851.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />There were still many roses on the fountain from the ceremonies after the bombing and attack a few weeks ago.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4856.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4856.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />Mom didn't get too many good pix of me, since I tended to stay too close to get very interesting pix.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4858.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4858.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />I met quite a few of these strange little troll guys!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4859.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4859.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4860.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4860.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />Then we arrived at the Central Station. Mom's job's offices are close by, so she dropped by to see if she could find an old colleague who is working there for a little while but she wasn't in. I met some of Mom's co-workers, though, and they were all dog people and happy to see me. At least three of them were on the ground getting kisses and giving me scritches at any given time. BOL!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4862.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4862.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />This shopping mall is attached to the Central Station and we did a little work there with sitting nicely and waiting for my treats and walking nicely on lead and also in the station. Here Mom threw some treats for me to eat so she could get all of me in the photo. Haha!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4863.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4863.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />Most malls don't really allow dogs, but the ones around the stations do which is great for training.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4864.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4864.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />Can I come sit in your lap now, Mom? Can I?
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4868.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4868.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />Back on the train and ready to go home!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4873.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4873.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />Mom had a treat for me in the freezer, too!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4874.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4874.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
<br />Yum! Egg ice cream!
<br />
<br />Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
<br />
<br />Kisses,
<br />Gummi

<br />
<br />Mom and I did something really exciting yesterday! It had been av very miserable day - 9 degrees C and rain, rain and more rain. But come evening the rain stopped and Mom let me jump into my car crate. I love jumping into my car crate! Then we stopped and took a nice little walkie in a park I haven't been to before. And then - suddenly I saw this:
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4819.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4819.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />Can you believe it? All those staffies!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4820.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4820.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />They did some ring craft stuff and some obedience and agility, too! I didn't really join in, because Mom said I needed to learn to relax and be calm around other doggies and people. But I got to talk to several of the humans and a couple of the dogs.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/?action=view&current=Foto4821.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae239/whipmops/August%202011/Foto4821.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>
<br />That cute red and white girl is called Nayeli and we had a great time playing together! Looks like I'll make even more friends in the future. It's so much fun having other dogs to play with. And we did some work, too. Mom is getting really good at clicking that clicky-thing and giving me nommies. I'll have her properly trained in no time!

A discussion on WhippetWorld somehow turned into the 2011 Egg Challenge. Here's my video of my first introduction to a whole, raw egg. Why don't you try and show the result on your bloggy? I sure had fun, as you can see here:<br /><br /><iframe width="600" height="371" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GrD1XSSwvHU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Kisses,<br />Gummi<br /><br />PeeEss: We had a question about the shell - it's no problem if the dogs eat them, we actually used ground eggshell for the kitties as a substitute for bone before they got to be great bone crunchers. <br />PeePeeEss: We know many who give eggs frozen as a nice, refreshing treat. It's good if they know it's edible before you try that one, though!The WriggleButtshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10595759862958896382noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062277900485437297.post-75292781535948521252011-08-05T11:55:00.003+02:002011-08-05T12:24:12.183+02:00I has a FRIEND!Okay, so I have my brudder Bajas (who think I can be a pain in the butt) and the kitties, but I haven't really had any friends of my own. But yesterday Mom had planned a play date for me! She joined the local dog club when we moved here, so we'll have someone to train with, and she posted on their facebook page if anyone would like to come along for some puppy socialization. And Alto and his mom said they would be happy to meet me and help me gain all the necessary social skills. Here's a video of what we did. We also had a running session at the end that Mom didn't video, and Alto did lots of puppy bowling which Mom says is good for me. And it was pretty fun, too! The humans agreed I have very good dog language skills. I didn't get scairt when Alto was growly with me, but I always knew he was the boss!<br /><br /><iframe width="600" height="371" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/keuqZhd3AT8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Hope you all have a great weekend, guys!The WriggleButtshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10595759862958896382noreply@blogger.com6
