Walking to Aukevarden

Gummi is finally old enough to come along for some slightly longer walks! Yesterday we decided to go find a place nearby called Aukevarden.


Come on, Mom!


Are you coming or what?


We found it!




We had a pretty nice view of the Oslo fjord - better than the phone camera could capture.


We saw the ferry to Copenhagen go out, and another ferry from Denmark coming back in!



We even attempted another way home and found or way!

Training pupdate

I made a couple of videos yesterday - I just used my phone and it turned out quite dark and after lightening it up a bit it got rather grainy.. 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.

Therapy Dog

Bajas 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..

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!

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.

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!
