…just as Boucle approached the fence…… a loud noise….!

…so he gingerly approached the fence…..
…sniffed to see what it was……..

…all good……

…back to exploring the beach……..

…he gave it a go….but the stick is too far……..

…sweetie-pie judged that it was just too far…..
…he didn’t want to go past where his back feet can touch the ground……..
…which is ok with me because I would rather be in there with him when it is deep…….

But Wait!!

…he’s turning around……..
…he’s going after it again……

..nope….

…just too far and deep…..

…such a good poodle……
…he knows what he can do……

…eventually….sweetie-pie will be able to fetch sticks far away on his own…….

…Boucle learning from Baxter……..

….Boucle was fascinated by Baxter fetching in the water…….
…wanting to learn exactly how it was done……..
…and longing to be the one fetching too…….

Baxter is a 10 year old Lab.  She loved the water since a puppy from day one.
She is a superb fetcher, going out quite a way and then coming back with full energy.

…sweetie-pie would like to do just like Baxter….   🙂
