Meeting Blue

Inko went over to meet Adam's dad and his dad's girlfriend yesterday afternoon, and also got to meet their 10 year old border collie, Blue. We had been keen for Blue to be one of the first dogs that Inko met because he is very calm and gentle. Inko was a little wary at first but seemed to settle down pretty quickly really and was soon running around trying to invite Blue to play by bowing down and barking. Unfortunately for Inko, Blue was feeling a bit tired and achy yesterday (he's got problems with his joints) so didn't really feel like playing, but it was good to see that Inko was happy to get really close to him, and clearly felt comfortable enough to want to play. She even showed off by showing some of the stuff she's been doing in our training. She seemed to take a bit of a liking to sitting on the shelf of Adam's dad's coffee table! She also thought that the Tesco Direct catalogue looked rather tasty!!

I'm off to pick up a sand pit for her today for the garden, to try and prevent her from digging up the flowerbeds. Managed to get it free from freecycle - can't complain about that! It's a 45 minutes drive to the lady who is giving it to me so it's a good opportunity to do more 'leave on own' training!
