Chuckle Brother

We've had another busy week in the land of Busby!

Friday saw his first ever train ride and he was a little star. He has let me know in no uncertain terms however that he does not *do* steps! I had to carry him down a flight of 15 steps and up on to the train with a few chuckles from passersby. Funny now? Wait another few months, think we're gonna have to do some "steps training" before then!

We've also been working on his training, we figured it'd be fun and quite helpful to teach him how to take things out of the washing machine. We've cracked it, almost. He strictly only takes dirty socks out of the machine. Nothing else, ever. Our attempts to get him to help with taking dirty bedding out of the bedroom when we were changing it failed miserably too. He takes it, jumps up on to the bed and sits there with it - bless.

The basics are there, we've just got to fine tune them I think, for now he is officially known as "The Hinderer" ;-)

We had another vet visit today, boy can he turn on the charm when he arrives there! Fortunately they've agreed to leave him be despite his testicle still not descending as of yet.

He and Yorkie continue to enjoy their walks together - they're a bit like the Chuckle Brothers. Yorkie carries his frisbee everywhere, and Busby has now taken it upon himself to try and help him. Sadly the size difference isn't really working out so it's very much "from-me-to-you"!

Lake Windermere

We took Busby upto Lake Windermere on Sunday, what a scorcher of a day! We had a lovely day out, met lots of people and doggies and enjoyed some fish and chips along the front. Even though we couldn't do much walking and playing Busby was on his best behaviour throughout the day and really made us proud. He even resisted the urge to help any passing kiddies with their ice creams, though his eyes told me he reallllly wanted to!

Sadly we didn't get to enjoy a boat trip out on the Lake, it was just too busy. Something to do with it being a Sunday during half term and the hottest weekend so far this year... Think next time we'll go during a school week and enjoy things at a little more relaxed pace!

What I'd do to have this place on my doorstep! One day...
