The Games Dogs Will Play

Last night Jimmy said to look over at the rug in the hallway. The rug definitely had a bulge in it. Come to find out there was a bone (rawhide wrap) underneath it. Luther and Java (she's home for the weekend) were given bones and love playing and chewing them. Luther can be crafty. He'll see Java's bone sitting there and if she's nearby, he'll wait nonchalantly until she is distracted and quietly slip over and conquer the new prize! Lauren talks about when was living with her, he would hide his bone behind the bedroom door when he was called so that she wouldn't take it away for the evening! So the best I can figure is that he hid this bone to come back and enjoy later by himself. I pulled the rug up and Java immediately claimed the bone as her property. The second picture is of Java with the bone. (Sorry the focus is off.)

The two dogs are getting along great. Luther is the "big boy" of the house but Java has too much getup and go to let that bother her. Yesterday we walked and heeled several laps of the track over at Richard Bland College. I had Java on my left and Luther on my right. Both were perfect! Java goes back to Lake Country Retrievers early Tuesday morning for more training. She loves the work and has such phenomenal focus. We've loved having her home and wish we had some of her boundless energy!
