It’s fun to watch them play. I don’t know how long Bembo will be interested, but I’ll miss it when he stops. He loves training, so maybe I’ll do more of the scent work when he is less playful.

He doesn’t particularly seek out puddles, but when he runs around playing with other dogs, it always seems to involve lots of rolling on the ground. Even on his own he can get pretty wet just from the grass. Today he found a Working Cocker Spaniel puppy to play with, so he’s pretty grubby. They had great fun though.

He doesn’t look for puddles, they just find him.

Is he still around?

I thought Marco had gone over to the ”ads are good“ side.

That looks good!

No, that’s not especially age-related.

I had a birthday last week. Those numbers do start to add up after a while.

I can manage a friendly veneer. Cheery would be a bit of a stretch.
