Sometimes when we are out training and throwing bumpers for the dogs they get a misfired bumper.
I will admit it. I am not the greatest when it comes to throwing bumpers for the dogs. Try as I might, sometimes they just go astray.
That was the case last weekend when I was attempting to throw a bumper for Thunder over some high grass and into the pond. I wound up ready for the greatest throw ever, mindful that I needed to make it over the grass. Somehow I released it as the worst possible time so it went straight up in the air and kind of off to the side. Rather than ending up in the pond, it ended up in the really tall grass.
I tried to find it so that I could throw it again–this time into the pond. I looked and looked and I could not find it.
But Thunder knew where it was so hubby released him and he headed over.
Nothing like an old hunting dog to help locate a misfired bumper.
Have a nice weekend!
Way to go thunder they have such better noses than us.
Bravo Thunder!!! maybe you can come to find the misfired toy of the mama? it’s missed since last septemeber… hard case huh?
We dogs are always there to help out our humans in all kinds of situations.
Good boy Thunder. You knew what you were doing. Well done.
I’m a lousy throw, and I’d probably do awful with bumpers. Cricket gets more exercise because she’ll head where she thinks I’m aiming, and then have to backtrack to where the ball actually ended up!
I’m sure I’d be the same way with bumpers. Almost all of our mishaps in agility are because of my lack of coordination confusing Barley, so I’m lucky that my dog is more athletic than I am 😉
I remember when Sampson was a puppy and I’d heard that dogs don’t remember things. I watched this little guy play with a toy, then go outside for a couple of hours and come back in and head strait for the toy.
Sometimes I think my dog’s memory is better than mine. 🙂
Tell mom bumpers are your job and you are very good at finding them:)
