the kids and i just checked your site...boy, you must be busy with puppies! and cute ones too! i had to share this. tagger, as you know, is a great fetching dog. we are thrilled that he fetches as we've been wanting a fetcher for some time. my nine-year-old daughter had been trying to get her boston terrier, ellie, to fetch pretty much from 10 weeks old...no go. now that we have tagger fetching, she is now fetching right along side of him. really amazing as she's 3.5 yrs and never showed the slightest interest. today, my little brat boston terrier was out with us and decided for the first time EVER to do anything DOG-like and join in on the fetching fun. it's totally bizarre! she tries so hard to convince us she's human all the time that this was totally unexpected. not to be out done...my son's ENGLISH BULLDOG (you gotta picture that for a minute)--English Bulldog is now also joining in on the fetch session. i wish i'd had a camera to get the pic of the doodle leaping like a butterfly into the air, followed by a very terrier bt and a not so doggy bt and then the little slug of a bulldog too...it was absolutely too funny. and i think all bc tagger fetches! he was so hot and tired he kept dropping his ball into the bucket of water and dunking his whole head under to retrieve it. he's been a good influence on them to say the least.
good luck with your little doodles.

the two younger girls and i tried very hard to get a good pic of the dogs fetching together. it was not easy. they go after the ball so fast! it's hot here today--about 80--so only tagger was really motivated. then they played "drop the ball in the water bucket" for a while before coming in and having some freezie pups...don't know if you've made those but they're flavored icecubes shaped like bones for dogs. they LOVE them when they get hot. i was going to break out the baby pool but i'm on a time crunch today. hope you enjoy the photos. my brat bt was not "into it" today. she stayed inside as she usually does. the bulldog generally sat in their way so they were tripping over him. he makes a great foot stool :) mb
