My Daddy's Back

Saturday evening Flash and I drove to town to pick up Dennis (Flash's Daddy), who had been on the East Coast for a week. I thought Flash would go crazy when he saw his Daddy, but he hung back a little as though he didn't remember him. That didn't last long.

New Toy

My sister brought some toys and bones for Flash. This is the Penguin toy after 5 minutes of play. He loved the toy, chased it, took it outside, brought it back and then I lost track of him. Big mistake.

Social Butterfly

I went on a horseback ride today and when I got back Mom, Angie and I went grocery shopping--so I didn't have much time with Flash today. I don't think he minded because he spent all day out and about with everyone at the ranch. He visited with Homero, Joanne and Shannon in the office, Gary and Angie who arrived at the ranch today, and of course he rand around with Honey until she just couldn't stand him anymore.

Flash is such a social butterfly.

Need a Ride?

Flash has been riding around all day with Homero in the Cushman golf cart. He loves it.

See him in the back.

Torture Collar

Yesterday I walked Flash with the pinch collar (torture) and he was perfect at heeling. Shows he can do it. Rachel, his trainer, says it's not a torture collar, it's a hearing aid. Ha.

Watch out for the cat

Poor Flash. He was only going to kiss 50-50 when she hooked his lip and started hissing at him. That wasn't nice. To Flash's credit he didn't react much at all-- just backed up until he unhooked from the cat. Poor Flash.

Heeling

On Saturday I took Flash out for a heeling lesson and he was a very bad doggie. So bad, in fact, that he tweaked my back or something because now every step I take results in a stab of pain. I managed to drive him to the vet's to get a bath, but someone had to take him in and out for me. Yikes.

They told me he was very good for the bath, though, so I'm happy about that. He was beautiful, too.

This morning he yanked out every toy in his box while I watched the Sunday morning news shows and worked on a stack of craft magazines that have been piling up. He tried to look pathetic.
