Day 12: Walking on Water 2012 Style!

For anyone who followed last year during the first 30 days of water work, you'd know that my all time favorite place to train dogs is the back corner of Peter's Lake in April...so guess where we went tonight! Rob beat me to the lake by about 20 minutes and sent me a wonderful text which said "lunging water looks good." Perfect!

I met Rob over at our favorite spot and had him set a true blind (aka; Fred didn't see him place it). We are still using white bumpers for at least another week of this until I'm ready to take more risks. You have to admit watching this; that it's a blast to see my little guy bounding out through the water!

His return is a little bit lack luster; but after we ran the other pups we realized that the mud was pretty thick. As I said last year; this corner of the lake is really more for me than for the dogs...but after 6 blinds and three or four marks, I actually have a very rare sleepy Fred watching the hockey game with me. Maybe I'll see if I can tire him out again tomorrow!
