When we drove our car and caravan into the camping area of the Country and Western Music Festival that we recently attended, we were shown where we should park. It was all very well organised. Although we knew our friends were attending we hadn’t made any special arrangements to meet so we were surprised and pleased to discover their caravan next to ours.
They have a cute young poodle which is very intelligent and a dear little dog. Ben has a number of toys and one of his favourites is a frisbee. Many times he is able to catch the frisbee in mid-air. Vince was lucky enough to get a photo of him doing this first-up. I thought it would take a number of tries to capture it on film but Vince must have got lucky. Dogs love their toys, don’t they?

@JudyEv we did that with our cats growing up - tying paper on string so they chase and jump for it.

I took a photo of my daughter jumping into the pool. It is a moment frozen in time....a incredibly lucky shot.
There she hangs suspended amidst droplet flung up by the carousing children with her toes mere inches above the water.

He is beautiful and lovely to look at and I had a dog like that before and he was really a joy to be with.

They are great companions aren't they? You must miss your dog.

@KlyliePot If you are talking to me, we travel too much and don't want to be bothered with a pet for the moment.

It is easy to train dogs. We did not do much with Preiti but only that which made her comfortable She could catch the ball in air, go for the ball and bring it back and so on. She picked up a few things herself and that qualified her being called a dignified lady.

@FayeHazel Yes, they were used to retrieve waterfowl. The original clipping pattern had a very functional purpose. The knobs on the ankles were left to protect the joints from the cold water and the knob on the end of the tail helped hunters locate them when they were in the water.

@JudyEv What a good dog.... actually weren't poodles originally hunting dogs? I want to say that's right

@Mavic123456 He chases and retrieves balls and he can bring various things when he's asked such as the frisbee, ball and his lead. He knows the individual words for these.

@JudyEv I've owned some pretty cool "big-boy" toys in my lifetime! And yes, I still get out and play with those toys! Why do you think I'm always getting hurt? haha

Fantastic photo! Our dog loves her frisbee as well. Unfortunately, she likes to destroy balls and soft toys so we have to be picky about what we let her play with.

@SophiaMorros I guess she loves a challenge. Now - if you could just put that to some practical use!

@JudyEv She doesn't chew things so much as try to pull things apart. We bought an "indestructible" rope rabbit for her. It took her a week to have the wee beastie ripped limb for limb. She seems to find great joy in removing squeakers.
