Mollie's Ears

MollieBaldEars is back amongst us! She had a lovely time at the vets, she get’s spoilt rotten with cuddles whilst she’s there. Her ears are now all clean and shiny and sadly hairless, so she looks hilariously bad.

Possibly as a result of being laughed at so much, she went missing (presumably escaped and roamed wild around the neighbourhood) for an hour and a half this afternoon, which means I’m now exhausted as I spent almost all that time walking every possible route I could think of that she might have taken.

On to more well-behaved dogs. Kim worked surprisingly well at training! I set a course that was purposefully full of pull-thrus and flick-flacks because that’s where we have our weaknesses, and once I’d finally got into the right place she actually did it nicely.

She seems to have got over her seesaw freak-out too, which is good. She’s never going to be superfast on the seesaw, she’s not brave enough to run right to the end and because she’s so light, it takes a while for the seesaw to drop. I have worked out how to ensure she hits her contact though, which is good to know.

Speaking of seesaws, you would never think Dylan had been so afraid of it at the beginning of this year. He loves it now, can’t get him off the damn thing! We had a few crazy skidding-to-the-end moments but he settled down after that and worked it with slightly more sense (ie. not trying to kill himself) but not much. He also nailed every weave entry, and then he had a run around with Emma right at the end which was adorable. Emma has a very different handling style to me and doesn’t use left/right commands as religiously as I do, so he got a bit confused, but it was obvious he was trying really hard to get it right. He has “good dog” written all over him!
