Came home from work and decided to get my swimwear on and go for a dip in our garden frame pool while there was no one around! Was lying on a semi deflated barbie lilo with my eyes closed enjoying the solitude when I heard whining. I opened my eyes to see that Twiglet had, like a mountain goat, climbed up a series of planters and was there, bright-eyed and ready perched on the highest plant pot! He had a true dock-diving glint in his eyes! With visions of it all going very pear shaped I intercepted the forthcoming leap into the pool and helped him in for a swim. I then had to get both of us out of the pool safely. We achieved this with no elegance whatsoever only to find Harry at the bottom waiting for his turn.!! Dock dogs through and through!
Twiglet has now moved from the Special Dog training class into Novice where he is doing really well. His off-lead recalls are pure comedy due to the speed and enthusiasm involved and we are now walking him with the other dogs off-lead without incident! We haven't even chased any rabbits. Twiglet now looks really well - all his fur has grown back, his ears are repaired, he is a healthy weight, with bundles of energy and enthusiasm for life!
