Happy New Year! - catch up!

Been little while since I updated!
December was a pretty slow month, being snowed in here in exmouth, we had to hike to work in at some points knee deep snow! was very surreal walking to work seeing no vehicles and people walking along the main road!

The dogs have enjoyed it, but i think the novelty began to wear off with ice balled feet after a while, the oldies were having shorter walks and the young ones blasts down on the sand when we could get the van out!

Loki has started having walks, some short some longer, its hard to know what to do really never having such a small dog before! she enjoys her free running time and runs like a loony when we stand still, and when we walk she trots along behind us, when its wet and muddy she asks to come up for carrying after a while when she has had enough! Looking for classes now to take her along to, a local vets is running one on a thursday, so we may go along to see if any other small puppies there to play with! Although, the way she and dai play, size wont matter!

I will post snow photos in a seperate post, it was ever so pretty here with it, the ice and slippery bits werent so much fun though! Although unusually for me, I stayed upright for it all!

The dogs are working hard on their trick training, dai and meg have mastered roll over and the balance board, chase is working on feet awareness and crossing paws, terra is working on core balance and standing on random things, like the food tin above!
Im hoping that teaching them the tricks away from equipment will help their focus and balance, i have invested in a balance board ( thank you pat for the tip!) and they are all starting to use it, we will soon move onto the fit ball too! I have been watching some of sylvia Trkmans videos and they make me want to teach more and more!


Christmas eve and Christmas day we spent at home, James was ill so i took use of my time alone to watch some of the boys in blue on Bondi beach! (its a recent phase im sure will pass!!!) cant get enough of Bondi rescue!!haha!
