Rusty Pups at Play

 

It has been quite a year for one of these girls

Rusty Pup Brandy started the year with a torn ligament operation

Followed by allergies and scratchings and hair loss

Then Thyroid diagnosis

It is only now that she walks freely and happily.

Her fur has grown back.

She is happy again

One day about a year our friend Michael knocked on the back Door with stuffed toys 

For the Rusty Pups.

I was a bit sceptical because our previous rusties would have chewed them to bits

In seconds.

However these two gentle souls are happy just carrying their toys around

And love to be chased as I try to get the toys back.

Not wanting furry stuffies 

destroyed outside in the mud and the rain

I trained the pups to drop their toy before going through the back door.

They caught on very quickly and I was pretty impressed.

But this summer I decided they had earned the right to take furry toys outside.

Trouble is they are so well trained……I have to carry the toys outside and

they won’t bring them back through the door when it is time to come in!

 

And….when I pick up a toy to bring it inside they think it is time for a

game of grab the toy from Mom!

Brilliant training

Now how to un train!

Oh to be a spoilt pooch!
