Arthur
attempts . . .
to do what he’s bred for!
Walking
in Simons Wood, Arthur reached the lake. In the middle of the lake is a small
island, on which birds rest and nest. Usually, it’s Canada geese that inhabit
it, but this week it was a couple of herons.
Arthur spotted
them.
Arthur
jumped into the water.
Arthur
started to swim towards them.
Barry
called him out and Arthur obeyed.A couple
of minutes later, Arthur jumped into the water again, and again was called out.
This continued until Barry and Arthur had walked on and the lake and the birds
were no longer in sight.
Arthur
was a happy, wet dog and slept well after his exercise.

Arthur is adorable. Can't believe he braved the water that must have been very cold!
ReplyDeleteHe has a lovely, thick coat, aand it's quite mild at present.
DeleteHappy wet dog... and lots of towelling at home.
ReplyDeleteHe'd more or less drip-dried by the time he reached home.
DeleteA bird dog!
ReplyDeleteHe is!
DeleteI'll just say brrr to the cold wet, lol. Glad Arthur enjoyed the outing.
ReplyDeleteyou go Arthur, you are such a good boy to come out when called and every one was happy, you, daddy and the birds
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely woods for a walk.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Arthur enjoyed the outing.
All the best Jan
Arthur must be completely satisfied: soaked, tired, and happily drifting off to sleep after all that swimming
ReplyDeleteA good reminder that when the barriers are removed, we all have a purpose to fulfill.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Arthur had quite the time. The Herons? Not so much!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Arthur got a couple of swims, but also glad he came when called.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good boy to give up the chase and come when he's called!
ReplyDeleteGood training there.
