The huge personality of Asbos Nori will never be forgotten, this star will continue to shine forever more, and no doubt she's causing trouble wherever she has gone 🌈

Bob Murrell, so sorry for your loss of Nori 🥹

You bravely took on an actual ASBO 😱 and gave her a life that took you both on many wonderful adventures. She loved her agility training and sheep herding. However, it was during her working trials training that it became apparent that all was not right with Nori. Unfortunately, she had hip dysplasia and spondylosis which brought on fit like episodes, as a bouncy 6 year old, it was hard to come to terms with 🙁 but you did, you and Nori continued your training in KC Rally and doing fun searches whilst out walking.

The excellent job you did with her training opened up filming opportunities, Nori will always be remembered for her starring role in Mr Snuggles, also appearing in Call the Midwife, a Marie Currie TV advert and quite recently, she appears briefly in Great Expectations.

It has been a pleasure to see Bob and Nori develop such a beautiful relationship over the 15 years.

I cannot thank Ian, at Elmfield Vets, enough for the dignified and peaceful passing he gave Nori as she left her well used body behind to run free 🌈

I seem to have started park waddling again 😬😆

It's a great way of keeping fit with the dogs - or at least one dog each week 😉 - teaching your dog to be with you and ignoring whatever else is going on 😀

Lexi last week and Paddy Ewok this week were fabulous 💪🤩

We met Paddy Ewok last week when he literally ran across the road and into the park with his owner running along behind him, she had no choice as his lead was attached to the back of his harness. He saw another dog at the park and was straining on the end of the lead and vocalising to get to it - fortunately, the other dog was on a lead and under control! - and we changed direction.

Spring forward a week and Paddy Ewok is doing a fabulous job with his lead walking, including when we saw other dogs 🤩

We used a correctly fitted collar and lead for the road walk and attached a longline to his harness for free time at the park.

Paddy Ewok has a few more issues to work through, however, loose lead walking is a major breakthrough ⭐

I took The Crazy Gang with me to groom a friend's dog yesterday and when I finished, we were allowed to play in the swimming pool 😃

The whole gang at the same time would definitely have lived up to their collective name 🫣 so I opted for 2 x 2 x 2.

First up was Kiyo, who loves swimming, and Zarco, who doesn't! While Kiyo was leaping into the pool to retrieve various floating toys, I got Zarco dressed in his newly purchased lifejacket. Although still not keen, Zarco made his own way to the ramp entering the pool, although he did require a bit more persuasion to actually enter the water 🤗

Next up was Lily, very much a water baby who was in the pool as soon as she saw it 😂 I didn't know how it was going to go with Pipistrelle as I couldn't find her lifejacket 😬 She wasn't keen as I carried her to the ramp, and even less keen as her feet got wet 😯 However, I persevered as she has swam beautifully in her lifejacket, when all of a sudden, she took off after Lily who was on about her 100th toy retrieve and after that, the pair of them were swimming back and forth bringing me various toys 😀 Little Pipistrelle's Cocker and Poodle genes overrode the Shar Pei 💪🤩 wow, so proud of my little girl 🤗

Finally, the ultimate crazy pair, little and large 🤦 Scott was straight in, he loves the chase and was much better at the retrieve today, although needed reminding that he needs to actually give it to me rather than dropping it back in the water 🙄 Meanwhile, Willow is doing laps of the pool - running around the outside while Scott was swimming back and forth - while giving Scott a break, I retrieved Willow who was definitely not keen but we did a little bit of acclimatization with her - must find the small lifejacket for our next visit! Scott had a few more water retrieves but due to him barking as he sets off 🫨 we're in a residential area so I cut his session short 🙉

Top of the class today were-
Kiyo, who still gives it his all 🥰
Pipistrelle, first time unaided and swimming like a pro 🤩
Zarco, made it to the water ramp voluntarily 🤗

No pictures of the swim because I was a bit busy, plus, I didn't want to risk the phone ending up in the pool 😱

Well......

And even after everything the dog was forced to endure, (s)he still didn't bite, just air snaps, not a mark left on the child's face! I feel so sorry for the dog, and the child, the adult must be really ignorant, even if you don't know the subtle signs, the dog trying to get away, multiple times, surely it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise the dog isn't comfortable in that situation 🤔🤷

Mr Kobi Bear is back with The Crazy Gang ❤️ They are helping him to keep moving because like us all if we don't move, we seize up, especially as we get older 😬 Kobi is 11 years of age, he'll be 12 in December!

It soooo good to share this founder member of Asbos 2 Angels 🤗 because with the dedication of his family, Kobi has grown into a magnificent, gentle soul who has been an absolute credit to his breed 🤩

Congratulations to Bob and Finn on qualifying in Utility Dog, at The Surrey Dog Training Society's Working Trial.

Finn is not an easy dog by any stretch of the imagination, however, this goes to show what can be achieved when the owner is committed and has the determination to do the best for their dog - fantastic result ⭐👏

So very proud of you both, and pleased to have accompanied you on a small part of your journey!

Looking forward to seeing you progress.
