Another hot week

Sorry its been a whole week since we checked in.  As you see, its just so hot here (not what we are used to) the once green grass of the park is no more.

Custer is now having a walk around the park in the morning, after I have take the others out and then another in the evening, either to the park or the beach.
Its so warm for them there is not an awful lot going on really.  I rarely have my camera with me, as with having Custer loose most of the time full wits are needed to be sure he is not mis-behaving, and if we see an on lead or older dog we have to get him back asap.

Custer is getting to know some dogs in the park, he has made a few friends but they do need to be able to cope with him, and few can.  I think he managed to upset a lady with a Labrador this week as we didnt see her again, whoops. Custer was playing, but he does play nip like a puppy and needs telling by another dog to sort this, the Labrador did this but the owner did not like it.

Today he met a super play mate, weekend now as the OH is not working we take them all in the car to the beach, easier for me with just the one walkies.  So, earlier on we were there - we met a lovely what we thought to be 'young' dog for Custer to play with, I thought he was a Pointer, but apparently he was Vizler x Labrador, and FOUR YEARS OLD.  Also played like a puppy, so both large dogs and a great time was had.  Its all quiet here now.

I had been very worried there was something not right with Custer, he tired so easily.  OH said it was just due to him never having had the exercise, but I was worried there was something a miss...
Well, he is now getting used to exercise, recovering a lot quicker and if he does not get enough running time, usually when its just too hot he is a total pest! so thats a good thing.

At Puppy Class last week he was pretty good, better off lead than on - Arthur is happy that he is just improving in general so thats the main thing.  At dog club on Wednesday not so good, he just fights on the lead (with us, to be off it I mean), when its his turn to do things he is great - but rest of the time is a tussle.  Just been told the hall is being refurbished, so no club for a couple of weeks now - not sure we can go after that either as OH starts a new job, which is very early to rise, and he wont be back till after 7pm in the evenings.

Hoping for an end to the severe heat soon, so the dogs can have more fun and running time.
