Quiet time

For the dogs anyway. Flyball has finished for this year so the boys are just chilling and enjoying the holiday. They still do their clicker training so they're not taking a holiday from everything lol. I took them on the park with the ball launcher today and totally knackered them out. I know when Monty is knackered cos he will leg it after the ball but then flop to the floor once he gets to it. Storm won't bother trying to race Monty for the ball and will hang back if Monty is in the lead. If Storm sets off first though he will go full tilt after the ball while Monty is trying to get their first. They'll quite often get to the ball at the same time and then its a guess as to who has it. Storm comes back much quicker than Monty does and brings the ball to me whereas Monty throws it at me on his way past. Monty is a cheat and will run off across the field and wait for the ball to be thrown to him rather than for him. I make him come back though and won't let him set off running until the ball has been launched. If he pisses off in one direction assuming thats where the ball is going to go I will launch it in the opposite direction so he has twice as far to run to get it. Monty had to drag himself home afterwards lol. When we got home they were both laid out on the kitchen floor doing very good steam train impressions hahahaha. Monty managed to slobber all over the floor as well! Half hour later he was back on his feet throwing toys at me to try and get me to play fetch with him. Monty's a pain and is always mithering to be played with (fetch) whereas Storm lays down quietly and waits until he's invited to play.
