    It arrived this morning. We'll go on a walk soon and trial it.

    We also got a little rabbit skin toy for use as a tuggy reward during flyball. Look away Gundog people, photos of tug of war to follow:

    Although apparently there is some disagreement over whether it's a tug toy or a chew toy....(please excuse sight of husband's undies on bathroom floor)....

    The tail blur in the picture is a clue to how pleased he is isn't it!
    Lovely Obi.

    Lovely Obi! (Lovely chair too...)

    Blue though? C'mon, Obi's man enough for a pink one ;D

    Tug of War with Rabbit skin? Even I wouldn't tug of war a rabbit skin...! (Although it looks great fun, I'm sure Charlie would love it - arggghhhhh I hear a roar from WGT from 20 miles away.....).

    Re: We've joined the Safestix club.....

    Obi says he secretly wanted a pink one. ;)

    Yes, that's the chair he disemboweled some months ago. Now expensively re-upholstered. We have a rule that the dog must stay off it. Obviously.

    We had a lovely walk this afternoon and many retrieves into the lake for the safestix. It floats, but it's sits very low, so we had a few moments where Obi was swimming round in big circles trying to find it and I'm yelling and pointing "NO NO OVER THERE. IT COST 20 BUCKS YOU KNOW". I'd put up pics but Flickr seems to be having a little sleep.

    Right now we are driving to Sydney for Obi's dentist appointment in the morning.

    I love Obi's eyebrows. Do they move independantly when he's thinking? Alfies do!
    He looks so chuffed with his new toy, he's beautiful.

    Yes, his eyebrows move independently. He always looks a little bit like he's frowning. :)

    Tug of war???? I'm horrified, Obi!! Obviously, we would never play pulling games with any of our toys... *ahem*

    I love the colour variation you get through a yellow coat. Obi's eyebrows are a particularly fine example and does Poppy have a sort of dorsal stripe - all lovely ! :)

    Think I'll have to get safestix for mine. We all ready have the balls and the rings made from the same stuff I call them jelly balls. Might as well get the full house.

    Obi looks so happy ;D
