Digging sand

Got my delivery of play sand this morning and the weird, slightly scary plastic box in the garden suddenly didn't seem so scary!! After helping me put the sand in (mostly by standing on it and poking her nose in it!! LOL) Inko then proceeded to have great fun digging in there!! See video below.

I can see me having to keep buying more sand, and our garden gradually becoming a beach, because there was sand flying everywhere!! We have a nice pile starting to form on our decking next to the sand pit.

Nice collection of sand on the decking!!

So that I could get her back in the house, and to prevent to local cats thinking they'd got an exciting new litter tray to use, I popped the lid on, and Inko then thought she had a great new vantage point on which to stand to survey the garden!!!

I'm the queen of the castle!

I also took delivery of two new door mats this morning so that I can try and keep the door ways a bit drier after all the trips out to the garden. You will notice that Inko can obviously read the note on the mat to 'wipe your paws' - unfortunately she also took that to mean 'and also eat the mat'!! LOL. See video below.

"There must be some treasure buried in here somewhere!!"

"What do you mean, 'leave'? If you look very closely, mum, it says in very small writing that I should also chew the mat...honest!"

I'm going to be taking Inko over to Reading University later. I did my degree there and then worked there for a bit so I'm going to go over and meet up with someone I used to work with for a chat and a coffee and Inko is going to come along too. I'm sure that the students will like having a puppy to say hello to so will be a good chance for some more socialising.

Inko is also going to her first puppy training clas this evening! Let's hope she remembers the commands we've been working on! It's also going to be another good chance for her to meet other people and other dogs - think she's going to enjoy having a bit of a run around!
