Mango!

Evening explore with Rhu. We only got rained on once!

Dog park day!

That the house belongs to two dogs, and they allow a human to join them

Say your bedroom / apartment / house / workplace were suddenly perfectly preserved for future generations, a la Pompeii, King Tut's Tomb, or the Motel of the Mysteries. What would future archaeologists (from a different culture) draw from this discovery? (Wrong answers not required, but very welcome.)

Second canicross outing was a hit! We ran 5km along the beach, definitely faster than we've ever run before. Rhu loves running with others, he clearly finds it super rewarding.

Hi! What does Rhu feel like? Does he have a wiry coat like he looks?

Hi. Sort of? His top coat is definitely wire hair from his Patterdale side, but he has a really thick soft shar pei undercoat. So although he's a bit wirey, he's softer than he looks.

3.5 hours later, Rhu was just as keen

I took today off because it was our one day of good weather, and it's been raining non-stop for literally months, and I've been so low and so, ugh, I needed it.

So just in case you need it to, please take 10 seconds of Rhu, trit-trotting along in the sunshine.

We went to a beginners canicross meeting yesterday and had an absolute blast! The group was really good at making sure everyone knew the etiquette of keeping their dogs to themselves and ensuring everyone had the right kit. Rhu adored running with a group, had a small objection to an entire male running behind him but it wasn't a problem, everyone understood dogs so we just made sure it didn't happen again. They do hiking in the summer when it's too hot to run! We're going on a beach run next weekend and I'm so excited to have dog people to play with.

No photos of canicross because we were busy, so enjoy the aftermath

(Mango obviously did not do canicross)

Brought Rhu bells so I can always hear him, mainly for on the yard so I stop being so paranoid I don't get any work done, but I like the extra sense of where he is out walking too.

Celebratory roll after looking after his human so well out solo hacking

Rhu came with recall/don't stray too far built in. I've reinforced it, but it was just, there. Which following a dog that has zero "stick with human" instinct was wild. I put so many hours into Mango and she has never been allowed off lead. Rhu's just like, hi 😀

Also satisfying to know that all those people who told me training recall was easy and I just had to put the time in were wrong, they just owned dogs like Rhu, not Mango

Does your dog have any built in programming that is particularly helpful? (Or just really amusing)
