halfpint Jan 2019 7:21pm, 8 Jan 2019 27,312 posts	0 halfpint Ernie has just started playing keepy uppy with a balloon. Every time it lands on the floor he woofs at us to bop it up in the air again. He’s doing remarkably well at gently bopping it with his nose rather than biting at it. He’s a daft dog. Bugger, he just got overexcited and jumped on it. Pop!

Toby only got a couple of telling offs. Cleo, who’s now 12, give him a warning air-snap at the exactly the same time as my brother told him ‘ho - you can put that away Toby’. He was smart enough to take the hint!
SarahWoo Jan 2019 3:20pm, 13 Jan 2019 8,569 posts	0 SarahWoo Mother has a dog walker for George on the days that I can't take him out. The other day, she was out when George and the walker came back so he used his key and left George in the house. At this time of the year, George is usually filthy when he gets back from a walk and Mother always puts him in the shower. When she got home, she found a trail of muddy paw prints into the shower (see photo). He'd obviously recognised that he needed to be in there, even if there was no-one home to turn the water on! Bless him!
