Mischief Monday - A New Trick

The only real mischief this week is that as Lady tries to adjust to the old-new world of actually working while maintaining some of the healthy habits (mainly a reduction in screen time which is hard because most of her work now involves a screen) , she has not been to visit you all. We are hopefully over the next couple of weeks we can create a better routine.

Now Phod will share his new trick.

The air is now hot enough to make our peeps think that swimming in the lake is a good idea. As you all know, I love to fetch on land and water. In the water, my preference is to stand at the shore and run into the lake while my peeps stand on the shore. I will not swim out with my bumper and chase it in. My peeps have been teaching me to come up the dock and jump in from there.

Dropping my bumper for the Man


 I don't love it, but I will do it to humour them.


Walk up the dock past the neighbour's boat

Get ready to chase it! 

Make a big splash

Swim back with it

What do you think of my new trick?

  13. I think that trick is INCREDIBLE! Great job, P. I am afraid of water, so it is the MOST amazing for me to watch.
