After Rally O training we let all the dogs loose for a tear around. There's a spunky little Bichon there who either thinks he is a Greyhound or wants to be a Greyhound. He's usually found in the thick of everything or following the Greyhounds around. I took my camera tonight and got a bit of him in action but missed the best bit at the finish when Beryl decided to do some laps of the area while it was just about empty and this little guy was flat out after her doing his best to either catch up or cut her off! It was a crack up to see:-)
At the beginning of the video is also Shannon, a blue GAP girl who is off to her new home tomorrow and further on is Cilla, a black brindle GAP girl, who is still in foster care with Fatima and Rachel for a couple more days. And little Lucy is there as well. More Greyhounds than any other breed of dog! Harry had left by then:-)
I was very cautious about letting Beryl off leash with this guy and also his toy white Poodle friend when I first started taking her along to Rally O a few weeks ago but she's fine and really enjoys hanging with other breeds of dogs and it's very good for her socialisation. When she's had enough she comes back to me and we wander off and do some silly stuff:-) She loves getting out and about.
I had two instructors tonight tell me how she's going so much better than Frankie .... who has the attention span of a gnat at class, lol. And apart from teaching her to sit and down that's all the training she's had! So I really must pull my socks up and do some training with both of them.
Today was lovely and sunny and quite warm for winter, a welcome change from yesterday's rain. And we made the most of it after lunch with a walk down to the park and river. It was just me and the kids, our usual greyhound friends couldn't join us. This meant Beryl had Frankie all to herself!! Usually she has to share him with Lucy, who is his soul mate:-)
Frankie, Beryl and Lucy
And doesn't he love it;-) But Frankie and Beryl had lots of fun fetching sticks and playing chasie .....
