Picture Frame

I made a framed picture of the boys together in the water.

Hut van Mie Pils

Today we went to the lake near the "Hut van Mie Pils" again. First they enjoyed the water very much, running and jumping like crazy.

Here's Toby looking where Brego is at.

Sitting side by side

And back home relaxing on the couch together.

Cool cool water

When we got back from our visit to Vilt, we stopped at a lake nearby our house to let the dogs swim/walk in the water. They enjoyed the cool cool water very much. I would have liked to jump in myself, but didn't dare to do it. That would have made some nice pictures and I wonder what the dogs would have done. Well we'll never know.

Walking in Vilt

Sunday we visited Vivian and Jean in Vilt. Franky, the breeder of Brego and her husband Ber were there as well. It was a very hot sunday so we just did a short walk in the beautiful surrounding of Viv and Jean's mansion.
Here some pictures.

Everybody in the shade


Brego with his mother Maxime, aren't they cute together


Brego the show dog. He still needs some practising, he didn't really enjoy doing this.

New Tent

I bought a tent for the doggies, just for fun. When I was putting it together Brego couldn't wait and had to sit on and in the tent before it was ready.


Even more fun is when you enter the tent together.


And wat they found to be even better was to fight about the plaid that was lying on the floor of the doggietent.


I had to rescue it or else it would have been torned to pieces I think.

And some more pictures of the doggies in the tent with the plaid lying safe on top of the tent :-)

Puzzle Doggies

Last week I bought some puzzle games for doggies. One game the Dog Smart where the dog has to pick up the pieces with their mouth to find some treat underneath. Brego does not understand this yet but Toby does as he is showing in the next movie:

The other puzzle game I bought is the Dog Twister, where the dog has to shuffle some pieces so that a treat is discovered underneath. Brego is using his legs and claws more than his mouth and with this game that is working fine as you can see in the next move:

These games should be mind challenging for dogs and therefore very suited for smart bearded collies to keep their mind busy. The games are from Nina Ottossen and are used with dog behavioural therapy as well. Because I am studying for dog behavioural therapist I brought these games with me to see whether our doggies would find them stimulating as well. Well so far so good, they seem to enjoy them very much. Because they are made of wood, the toys should be taken away from the dogs when your not there to guide them.

Toby brushed

Here are some pictures after I groomed Toby.

Somewhat from the side view:

You get very tired from a couple of hours laying down on the grooming table.

And here is Brego on the back hanging on the chair.

Brego's new sleeping place

Brego has as new sleeping place.
Before the window, in the corner underneath the curtains. He is almost to big to lay there but anyhow he likes it there and enjoying the view outside the windows.
Here he is still sleeping:

Here he is awake and looking outside:

Play time

This morning I filmed the play time of Brego and Toby again. They play a lot together, but I forget to film this. But this morning I didn't so enjoy!

Sleep Overs

Mila and Tommy stayed with us last night to sleep over. This morning the dogs went to their room to wake them up. Here are some pictures of that and a movie where the two doggies are climbing on the bed of Tommy.

First it's Tommy's turn.

Then Brego is kissing Mila, but she doesn't awaken.

Both doggies at Tommy's bed and he is awake.

Brego tries to wakeup Mila again.

Tommy and Toby hugging.
