Helpie Kelpie - Part 2
Last weekend I surpassed myself! Not only did I re-use and recycle, but found my brother some of his can things!!
Here's a demonstration of how to do this important job 📦 ♻️ 🍺👏
I love going to see my big sister and big brother! 📦 🧀 😁🐾🐾
Honestly! All I wanted was to finish up the pizza crusts!! I got a few little bits and then Mum put her plate on the table! So I wandered about looking bothered, till Mum got up to take me out... I saw my moment but couldn't reach so.....
Boxing Day!!!! I opened all the boxes to find treats and more boxes inside! They had treats in too!!!
I love Christmas!! ❤️
It's my Happy Birthday today! I'm 7 - whatever that means!
I got rippy paper and cardboard!! Oh and toys but one squeaked at me so I'll have to sort that out! I'm still not too keen on that noise 🤦♀️🤣
Loving all my hugs and kisses! 🥰🥰
Apologies for crazy video! My sister put their Xmas tree up today and I kept knocking baubles off and picking them up!

7 months on from the shaking petrified lift phobic me... now I love going in the magic box that sometimes goes to my sisters and sometimes to the little woods! 🐾🐾🍂 My brave words helped me overcome my scaredy self ... Mum taught me Ready Steady and if I hear them I know ill be ok 😁
Hoover Fear Training
Sucky snake things are very dangerous... and very scary 🥺
The first time Mum turned it on after I came to live here, I ran away, peed in the kitchen and ran upstairs to hide. I never go upstairs by choice so you can see just how horrifyingly scared I was. Since then Mum has only hoovered when I've been outside or sitting in the car out of earshot and sight.
That's quite a good plan in my opinion, but Mum's decided that enough time has passed since the trauma day so now we are working on me getting near it.
I've avoided it at all costs but today I decided to try my hardest and approach with the help of some treats and Mum standing by so it didn't suddenly attack me!
So far I'd managed quite near but today I went right up to the snake!!!
Mum's very happy and I'm very pleased with myself but now I need a little nap!
Playing with Zen.
I can be quite barky around other dogs and I'm still learning to ignore them when we're out walking. Last weekend Mum was going to look after a labrador puppy called Zen,along with Thor and me, in the caravan that we were staying in. Zen and Thor's Mums were at a wedding so we would all be together for a long time that day.
I met Zen on Friday. I told her off a lot and did cross, worried barking while Mum kept reminding me to focus on her and do "Hush". I tried to.
On saturday we all went for a walk. Mum did scatter treats to keep me busy while I got used to Zen being closer. I got more confident and stopped barking. By the time we got to the beach I was happy to be near Zen. She ran fast but not in my face so I relaxed and Mum decided to let me play. Zen runs very fast but I joined in and ran with her. I bowed and she played and we became friends. On the Sunday she came to spend the day and evening with Thor and me.
This is us playing a bit and chilling a bit. I'm still a bit awkward but now I have a new friend and we're all going on holiday together again soon! 🐾🐾😃
Wet Paws!!!
I did a new thing!!!! 😳😃😇
I avoid puddles, I don’t like my paws to get wet but I watch Thor paddling at the beach and in rivers... and today Mum did a Ready Steady for me and I walked into the water! Then I did it more and now I’m very pleased with myself!!!
I shall paddle more I think! (Another treat opportunity has opened up 😋)
Treat Enrichment play when its too hot to go out (and recycling!)
It’s Hot outside
It’s too hot for my paws
It’s too hot for my black fur
It should be water play time but I don’t like paddling or the splashy snake thing when it spits on me so...
It’s time to find indoors games:
#1 Ripping tubes to find treasures!
Hunting about in the grasses!
Sniffy Walking and a little recall practice...
Just me and Mum out for a sniffari 😊
