What could be better than a nice game of fetch on a sunny Sunday afternoon? Flynn says he doesn't know!!
Flynn, despite all his behavioural issues we've had to deal with (& continue to work on!), has always been a pretty good dog to go potter about in the countryside with. He rarely strays too far ahead & his recall is great. He always keeps an eye - or an ear! - on what I'm doing... if I stop, Flynn will usually either stop too, or turn around automatically & come back to check in with me. He isn't shy with strangers, but also isn't inclined to run & jump at people & he tends to avoid other dogs. If he hears or sees something unusual, his instinct is to let me know & then usually, he'll return & let me handle it. He might chase after a squirrel, or pheasant but never tries to catch them! Flynn does love to play fetch but unlike some border collies I've met, he isn't *too* obsessive about toys - so, if I put the ball away, Flynn will happily go do "dog stuff" for a while - trotting about & sniffing.
Haha, the only thing Flynn's not so great at, (even at nearly 9yrs old), is accepting that the slow hoomans he walks with sometimes like to stop for a time! Walks are for walking after all - not lazing around! I took this near the only bench in the entire wood... The bench where I was *supposed* to be having a nice sit down & a break. Flynn did kindly...allow... me to rest my legs for a minute or two, while I gulped down a quick drink. However, it wasn't a very restful experience, as I was keenly away of Flynn's intense gaze fixed on me & the very second he saw I'd had the last sip from my cup, Flynn decided that I'd had enough of a rest now. He began hopping about & woo-wooing: "Come on, come on! We've got stuff to be doing!!". We were out with his elderly brother Barney & another hooman & like me, they both wanted to continue having a longer break, enjoying the sunshine. However somehow, at Flynn's insistence, I found myself back on my feet, playing a game of fetch, until our companions were ready to go. Judging from his up-curled tail, Flynn felt pretty pleased with himself!

Best of The Best.
It’s like the title says. What it does not, is that I laid about 20 minutes right in the middle of a footpath in a local park for it. I am not quite sure who was more puzzled, the squirrels or the pedestrians. 😁

Any guesses? 😂
Intentando captar en una imagen lo que es el fetch (distancia recorrida por el viento sobre el mar en una misma dirección y con una velocidad constante).
I can hear him singing " Should I stay or should I go?"
For the record he didn't go, which was just as well as it is the middle of winter here and that water is cold. I love the contemplative body language in his stance.
