I don’t know what he’s up to but on the last walk we took a golf club and some golf balls and we played games. …chase the ball… Now I’m no expert but my main skill is retrieving and I’m sure it wont work if I’m bringing them back. Which is maybe why, when we went looking for a golf ball I got a treat just for touching it with my nose.
We even had a rummage in the rough trying to find one he sliced off the field and even though we never found it we had a good rummage and well I’m good at that. …find the ball…chase the ball…
And I did an amazing thing today, apart from learning to sit at a safe distance while he hits the ball. He went looking for it and I stayed behind to chew a stick I had found and let him get one hundred yards from me. He held out his hand for me to come, which I saw, came and conquered a full one hundred yard dash to touch my nose on his hand. He’s been teaching me this over short distances but never this far …chew chew chew… I was running like a locomotive!
