I had a rubbish day today. Many factors, starting with multiple power cuts in the night, disturbing the dogs and causing mayhem. But, Rigs and NH are clipped.

BH has full nakedness. Rigs has a more subtle clip.

Both were immaculate in behaviour to clip. My boys!

Oh dear...

Had a little play with the boys. Surfing...
I felt guilty that Rigs missed out with the water yesterday, so he was first out. I took teddy in a Zorb Ball for the ride and for teddy's first surf. Rigs is up for most things. He is like a bull terrier and just needs directing. He was soon cantering through the floodwater, dragging the Zorb ball and teddy. Good boy, Rigs.
BH is a bit more sensitive and slow. Maybe not quite as intelligent
😂
He would actually do better with a real rope, li-lo and human than a plastic bag and string. BH did the water first, then came home to work on the Zorb Ball. We did it nice and slow, and in an organised fashion, Just like BH likes
😂

Two good boys!

Excellent, now Rigsby can join the inland coast guard and pull people out of floods 😀
I think he would adapt to pretty much anything. Best of all, he has been on much reduced asthma inhaler for a month and none at all for nearly a week and no coughing. It is just for a short time every year and otherwise he is as normal as a Rigsby can get!

Rigs took a friend to the pub last week and was a true gent, of course.

Today, he had a go with a Garrocha. This was his first time seeing it and, although I have no clue how to hold it, he just gets on with it, even when I whooped him up the ass.


Bless him, he doesn't go on the school for months at a time, then just go struts his stuff with a weird pole in tow!

He's such a total star! 😍

Do you think the 2 of them compare notes at the end of the day and roll their eyes whilst discussing you? :D
Very probably. Except that they are both very greedy so I suspect they compare notes yes, but about the size of their respective haynets!

Rigs had a bit of a near miss the other night and got cast.

I like the slight HuH he gives, when he realises he made an error. Then he has a fight to try to right himself, then pauses and another HuH as he thinks of his options.


He is none the worse for wear, not a single scratch on him.

I always insist on bottom bolts being done up, because if it hadn't been, he could have lost his leg through the gap he'd have kicked for himself, then the door would have snapped back. Fortunately, the door is solid with good bolts!

Clever Rigsby for getting himself out of that pickle without panicking, and well done to you, Red, for having a really strong stable door with bottom bolt properly secured. As you say, it could have been a very different outcome without that in place.

Did you hear the commotion?
No, but the neighbours did and rang me. He was fine though. Good to see what the noise was. I love the cameras.
