While I'm happy its here its more of a disadvantage for me,and for most dog owners really! I can't say that Oscar is too pleased with the heat,but then again are any dogs?

| Do you see that? The sky its BLUE!!!! |
We went for an early walk this morning but it was cut short because of the damm horse flies! Would the little feckers ever get away from me!While i got very happy with Oscar recently regarding recall, he has,as of today,taken a step back and is now back on the long line,but its a shorter one so we didn't jump too far back!
 |
| hello! Can i have a treat now? |
It got quite hot after the walk so Oscar wasn't in the mood to do anything at all! I even brought him inside to do some recall training but even then he was so slow and the exercises became pointless really.
Trying to make training fun and entertaining is hard when you have a dog which is showing absolutely no enthusiasm no matter what sounds you make or how fast you run! Maybe its just the heat but its still not easy!
While i didn't plan to do agility today,Oscar had different plans and used the tunnel for his own comfort and leisure!

| Its the wrong way up,but it looks cool! |
There was only enough water to cover his paws but Oscar wasn't too pleased. He didn't show any visual pleasure at getting in and out of the paw deep box of water but he did get treats for doing it so maybe he will be a water loving dog soon...............????
Something that was a little more Oscar style was using Ice cubes to cool down,so he got some and had a little more fun with them than he did in the box of "deep" water!
I also made Oscar an interactive toy today,its what i like to call 'the bottle tipper'! And the best thing about it is, that it was FREE!!!!!
It took Oscar a little time to figure out what to do with it,and i still don't think he has figured it out but as soon as he has i will get a video of him doing it.
It wasn't an overly active day and Oscar spent most of it like this,
And just a quick update on the raw diet before i go.
Oscar is loving it! The salmon oil we got is crap though,but not to worry,i will be getting a better bottle the next time! Oscar wont,however,eat his vitamin E tablet by himself so its the manual way for that I'm afraid! Thank god it's only every other day that it has to be done! Sardines in tomato sauce for breakfast tomorrow,so lets see what he thinks of those. I can't say that I'm a big fan of fish though,unless its cod and in batter,so i don't think i will enjoy opening the tin tomorrow at all!
On big difference on the raw is the amount that Oscar drinks. He doesn't drink half as much now,usually he would be finishing a bowl a day and thats not including what he drinks outside,but now he doesn't even finish half the bowl.
Other than that though,no major improvements,but its early days yet.
