Allister is a 16 year old yellow lab cross who every morning jumps the 5 foot fence and meets Colleen D in the riding ring ... he loves to play and hunt frogs. Colleen D captured this great video of him playing with a giant egg as her own Dog Ticket follows the action around and the barn guys remain fairly indifferent ... enjoy!!!

**** Colleen, the "D" one :) ****
I think the second video is better than the first!! Two babies messing around: one is a super athlete and the other is the coach (or the lifeguard?). I would love to be one of them. Maybe in another life? LOL.
**** Carol or Jenn ****
Please, post the second video "below" the first one.
Thanks alot for the support out at the barn... Gwen is probably handling this better than me.. I have started leaving her for short intervals in the empty room on her own & she seems to be Ok with it.. I will try a bit longer tomorrow & pull the car out of the driveway and sneak back to peek thru the windows & make sure she is not being a dork. Then gradually increase the time in anticipation of returning to work.. great suggestion Carol.. Thanks
I have corned off an area in the livingroom so she can move around a bit .. the crate is out of the question with that freaking cone.. and the ramp ( i built she sez with pride) is working great.. it could probably be a couple inches wider, but we still can both go up & down together.
I will have SAINTS withdrawal this week end & may still come for a short visit Sunday afternoon ... if all goes like I am visualizing ( she sez with hope, hope, hope)
Haha Mauro!
Al tries super duper hard not to get that egg ( which is actually a horse or cow toy...I see Joy giving it a hoof or two once in a blue moon ) toooo close to the horses or cows. If it gets within a foot of them he stands and barks like crazy at the egg to move.
Same day, same egg: (hope the link works )
If that doesn't work...here's a link! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TASNUNGdoas
Love love love that, al is the coolest egg pushing, frog hunting dog around,,, and I'm pretty sure he is 16 now ( like Mother like daughter , they never age)
Is there anyoneone who can help out at the barn this week-end ? I don't think Wendy is able to come out & if there is help .. I'd like to hang with Gwen & finish off some stuff around here... anyone ?
Mauro...The other one is my German Shepherd Ticket. She doesn't like to swim at all. I was absolutely amazed that she went in deep enough that she had to swim for 3 seconds. She is a wench in that she stands onshore and grabs the ball/egg/stick when the *athlete* goes the distance for it.
Al is a blast. I can't tell you the number of times I have said "Al...WAAAAAIIIITT!!" when I see him about to scale the fence. But nope...his day begins at 8 am every damn day and everyone else better be there and be ready. I love that dog!!
