A two year old beauty!

Wesha turned 2 years old today. She started the day (well, after a short walk and breakfast) in the dog salon.


She didn't like that one bit! It took about an hour to have the dead hair removed (plucked) from her ears and paws. She tried to get away, sit down, lay down and she did a lot of whimpering. But... I still think it was worth it! She is much prettier now!

The rest of the day, she enjoyed being in the garden, eating salmon and a walk in the forest. Not a bad day.

Exciting ride

We went up to the Atzmännig today. We took a chair lift up, so that we could walk back down. It was the first time for both Wesha and Ghandi that they were on a chair lift. They both did very well. I took Wesha up with me and she was sitting next to me, with her front paws on my lap. Just looking and sniffing the air. She was very calm and seemed to enjoy the ride. Especially when she spotted a few cows below us.
Reto took Ghandi up. Ghandi was standing on Reto's lap most of the time, trying to see everything that was going on around him.



The walk itself was lovely and it was great to see how much Wesha enjoyed herself. She was running a lot, just for the fun of it.


And then she decided to take a bath in this:


Disgusting! So we had her take another bath in some cleaner water:

Spring!

We've had cold and wet weather for a long time, but today spring has finally returned! Wesha was totally excited during our walk along the Rhine this morning. She couldn't get enough of running, waiting for me to throw a stick into the water and then jumping into the Rhine to get it. Unfortunately, she usually drops the stick as soon as she climbs back on land.

Not much news

There really isn't much news to tell here. Both Wesha and Ghandi are doing very well. Wesha did lose interest in dummy training again, so we are now going a step backwards. Lots of play and no expectations. We are also training on her holding the prey dummy.

Last week, while walking near Altikon, we came across this makeshift bridge of 2 metal bars. Both Wesha and Ghandi crossed it without any hesitation (to be fair, it was the second time we crossed it, we had been there a few weeks ago). Wesha used both bars - left paws on the left bar, right paws on the right bar. Ghandi put all his paws on the right bar. I love it when they show no fear for obstacles like that!

I took this photo this morning and I love it. Wesha seems to be saying "CHEEEESE!". I love the happy look on her face.
