Fajsty

Looking weirdly at me. . . Creepy. .

Beautiful bastard

Have been running in the forest and am doing some mental and balance things to calm him down, it sort of worked. This evening i will make a schedule of what i need and want to get done day by day next week and for the upcoming weeks. Will post it to my own blog when done.

Fajsty foal

First time he did not bark at the horses . Victory.

Comfy

Having redone the walls and about to put the mattress in place someone found a comfortable spot. .

Not the dog

But on the dog walk. The city river by night. Pretty cool i thought.

Extreme makeover

Before:















After:

Lazy

Lazy day in the sofa for some. .

Upside down

Also in my mothers apartment the upside down sleeping style is preferred. . So funny.

Sightseeing

We're walking the brand new river walk and this is a picture of one of halmstads few sights, the castle and in front of it is a semi famous boat.

City dog

Lap dog. Me and Fajsty went to capri. We met neighbours and were social. Neighbour took the photo.

Sunset

The coolness of this sunset can not be conveyed with this mobile camera but i assure you it is cool. For some forest pictures of Fajsty go to http://hannaedarp.blogg.se . Hanna has a good camera too. And Fajsty has the forest on his head again.

City dog

We are having dinner out and Fajsty is carefully watching all the feet passing by.

Random

I know this blog is supposed to be Fajstys but i have to show this butterfly i found . . So beautiful.

. . .

When you can't stay in the forest, take it with you. Fajsty decided he liked the forest so much he took it all with him.

2 in one

Managed to get both dogs in one picture.

Resting

Resting on the lawn after a day of play and a lot of heat.

2 dogs in the Livingroom

Gary has been selected as massi's pillow aka saviour. . She jumps up on him when Fajsty gets too annoying.

Chillin

Just chillin in the sofa with my best friends.

Training

Well like said, the training IS paying off, but its harder where there are lots of smells than where there are lots of people now. Earlier it was the other way around.

Now we can walk through the city at its busiest, and as long as there are no dogs around his attention is on the street or on me. Not on the other people. This is a good thing.

But when we walk in the city parks he pulls like a madman to get to the smell he wants, so I think that is the next step now. People are done, needs repetition of course, but people we can easily pass (most of the time) now, only Smells and Dogs left.


I'm loosely planning a "Dog-meeting-course" together with Marie at Ronjas Hundgöra where I think I need to participate with my wild thing . .

Sometimes meeting a dog on a distance works well. Most of the time it doesn't though. Some males growl and bark at him, Some males he growls and barks at. Some just ignore him.

It will be a while before we can pass a dog like we can pass a jogger. But I think we will get there with enough training.

Fajsty Writes....

Hanna and Signe are all happy about being Celebrities online, See: here.

Well, I can say that I am actually on a Window.
Sure it isnt the best photo of me, but it is me none the less.

It's the animal shop by the little square in the city, near the tv4 station.

So I think I win the celebrity factor.



I am now also an inventory at galgberget with at least one walk a day, sometimes 2 or 3.
I have now learned that you should not jump onto strangers and especially not the grey-haired ones. I bark at them instead. I should probably not do that either but sometimes I just cant help myself. Although Yesterday I walked past 3 grey haired ones with sticks and weird machines, and I was quiet all the way past them. After that I got a lot of sausage.

Wardrobe cleaning

Doggie does his best to help.

Fun stuff.

Never sane

There's never a sane moment in this house. We're all nuts.

In the city

With my mother on social training walk in the city. He's done really good so far. :-) it's much easier to pass people than interesting smells.

New lead

Yesterday we bought a good leather lead which i will always use when it's not raining or dark. This one has reflectives and is fabric so it's so light. When he's walking properly, which he now idoes more often than not, it is so light you can't feel you're holding anything. Good for when jogging too.

Showdog

We went to the show, didn't show Fajsty but looked at other dogs and used it as training social skills. He was a little bit lumpy but pretty well behaved on the whole. We bought a new lead because the old one is worn. Now i can't find it but i think it's in the car somewhere. I hope.

Patience

We were practicing waiting on a bench. :-)

Morning walk

I have started walking in the forest every morning before breakfast. Today i notice a big improvement, but now he's tired. He has not dodged towards any runners or walkers nor has he pulled too much. I think this is a good habit to keep. Now we're both sitting on a bench watching people come by in various speeds. He's doing really well i think. Must remember the city walk tonight too. One set of ladies just walked by and we have seen them 3 times today. Time to get a move-on and get started with the chores of today.

Fattie

Too short walks and too much food is my guess. From now it's a new regime. Morning walks in the forest and evening walks in the city. The city to get him used to walking around people again and for mental stimulation. The forest to burn off some calories. It's time.

New perspective.

A photo from a different angle. Today i thought about the fact that there are so many things he has yet to discover. Only one year wise. .

Love you

Can we go for a walk now? Please? At least i think that's what he's saying. When i left today his water bowl was full, when i came home it was dry and he had not tipped it over. I'm impressed. Our cocker spaniel friend is away this weekend. So we're on our own.

On the move.

Pretty cool photo i thought.

Pillow

Well. . At least he knows how to use it.

Hm

Hey that's my pillow!

Priceless

He seems to think that being upside down is very comfortable.

Foresty

Daddy and Fajsty out in the forest admiring rocks of sorts.

Tired

Here they are after a good 45 minutes of running around. Both tired and thirsty. The meeting went well so it will probably happen again.

Waiting

Waiting for a potential cocker spaniel friend. I must say i was nervous as to how he would behave.

Fajsty sheik al safar

Very oriental looking doggie.

Home

I think he's happy to be home.

Bonnie

Cocker cavalier mix. Charming.

On a different note i just had an incident. . When i went out to go the evening walk i saw a huge german shepherd in the agility area. It was pretty stressed out but then it pooped so i thought all was under control. Turned out it was not because when i came back they were two trying to catch it. So i thought i'll put Fajsty by the fence so they could grab the other dog. . But somehow it slipped out and then it ran around the agility fence, maybe 8 laps before it saw Fajsty. When it did it came up to us and they said their doggie hellos and the owner caught up with him and grabbed him. I wish they are on the class on saturday. Doubt it though. . I think i could actually help them. Maybe they are there again tomorrow. . Time to sleep now. Having a class again tomorrow. . Busy week.

Sleepy

The days are very long for the little dog. Today is his birthday. I gave him canned food for a treat and he absolutely loved it. I also presented a chewbone but it went down in a jiffy as usual.

My elvis

My elvis is sleeping in the twin bed. He wont be impressed when gary comes to claim it. . .

Game?

No, no game this time, just a pretty sky. We are really tired. The whole group. Tomorrow i will try to take some pictures while In training. .

Elvis

Well asides from the head hair he makes a good silhouette.

Sun dog

Why he sits in the sun when there is shadow is beyond me. Maybe the air has cooled down enough?

Easier to see

Here you can see that he's stuck. . Now he's chewing on a bone. But he wants me to be outside too. . To watch him or something. .

Same game

Called spot the dog. It's finally cooled down so all Fajsty wants is to be outside, but here is no gate to the fence so i have to have him on a string. I think he's ok with that but if does Not want to go inside. Can't blame him really but i'm starting to get cold. .

A picture from last time in Öland, Today we are off again, this time for a whole week.

A game

It's called spot the dog. I'm out on the back reading a 150 pages long thesis on dogs learning procedures. . F lay down in the grass and i could barely see him. He wanders away sometimes but never far. He stays with me. He'll probably run away now just because i said that. .
