Gains doing PT this morning. 2.5 hrs drive one way but we leave 3 hrs just to make sure we arrive in time. Don’t want to run into traffic or construction.
Even the little dogs can get involved in dog sports. The saying in dock diving isn’t that your dog has to jump the farthest just the farthest in their category.
5pm this evening driving down A1A along the ocean from St. Augustine to Daytona Beach Bruce and I decided to stop for a drink. ( ok those who know me know I drink just soda). Pass a place called Good Times Dog Bar. Of course I turn around so we can check it out. I’m thinking it’s just a bar with dog in the name but it’s actually a dog park and human bar/restaurant in one! There’s a small dog park and a big dog park. Building with a bar area and pool table. In the dog parks are some tables and lots of chairs. Outside the fence area is a sandy area plus a dock if you come by boat. Food truck on site for those that want a bite to eat. Kind of wish we had our dogs with us. The place was very busy and everyone seemed to be having a great time especially the dogs!
Dock diving
My neighbors are always saying to use their dock to practice dock diving with Gains so I finally took them up on their offer. Jan took some videos than I recruited her to hold him as he just gets so excited on the dock it’s hard to get him to sit/say. It would have been better if I threw his toy farther out but I get caught up with the rope I have his toy attached to. I’m nervous it will end up floating away. He’s really building his confidence!
Gains with Heidi acting as my holder.
This is Pixel the Yorkie. He and his mom are in rally class with Gains and I. Wanted to share as I think it’s so cute and awesome to watch them work together. Usually you see the small dogs just being carried around by their owners and not knowing much. The small breeds are just as smart as the larger breeds and I bet many would love to learn all sorts of tricks and commands 😊🐾🐾
All the people watching Gains getting groomed. He’s being very well behaved . Phew. I offered him up for Groom Expo in Hershey in September. 😊 Gains can start earning his keep lol
What dogs want to be doing on a day like today.
New besties
Milo and her new bestie playing.
Schnauzer play
Luca ( min schnauzer) and Nala ( giant schnauzer) just love to play.
Dock diving
Are you looking for something different to try with your dog?! I was driving almost 1.5 hours to Cato for dock diving lessons. Now there's a pool much closer to home in Clayton! It's something almost any dog can learn. I started Gaines at about 8 months. It's taken awhile but he's finally getting the hang of it.
Lazy morning
When it's early morning and you haven't had your coffee yet and don't feel like running to play you just lay there and chew on one another.
