He goes nuts over milk-rings. Chases them all over the house, bring them back, then waits for you to throw them again.

Tessa usually stays put until I release her (for safety reasons I insist on this) but since I was busy taking a photo of her on point, she took it upon herself to move toward the bird that had just fallen. While that produced a cool photo, it irked me a bit that we quit on that note but overall, she did really great that day. It was our first time back on the plantation (where we used to train) since February and we all had a great time.
Since this is my first Explore, I feel like I owe this dog a little background story.
My extended family and I are extremely close. About once a month, all of the cousins get together at my Grandma's house in the mountains for dinner. My grandma loves to have us over. She used to live there with her Black Lab, Libby, but sadly, after being the best companion my grandma could ask for for many years, the dog had to be put to sleep just a few weeks ago.
The last time my family got together, all of us cousins went outside to take photos. I was taking a few shots when I saw a big, black figure out of the corner of my eye. I turned around. My first thought - "Libby!" - but it wasn't her. It was a lost dog, who had wandered into my grandma's yard. Except for the ears, she looked almost exactly like Libby.
The lost dog was friendly and energetic, and each of the kids took turns throwing a stick for her to fetch. This is a candid of her playing fetch with my little cousin Joey.
It was the first time I had visited my grandma's house without Libby there. This lost dog brought back so many memories. There's something mysterious about those mountains that loves to remind you about days gone past, but maybe the visiting stray was just a coincidence.
Then again, maybe it wasn't.

Despite having young chicks in the nest the male Grey Heron continues to collect small sticks to dress the nest :0)

Whilst lazing by the river this delightful German Shepherd entertained us all. He couldn't wait to bring the stick home so my boys could throw it out again. Great Fun !
Also...the owners wanted me to send them this shot as they thought it was incredible. Job done....its in the post !

It seemed like a great idea at the time. Last summer, we set our alarm for 4:30am and drove to a beach to sneak in a little sunrise swim with our dog before anyone else arrived. Carmen was totally beside herself with excitement, especially when we got out her float coat and she saw her pull toy that floats. You can see how well the idea worked. This was the first toss. She went in about up to her toenails. John braved the chilly waters and was Carmen's (and my) big hero on return. :)

Fun at the beach. At Half Moon Bay [next to Bahia Akumal] on the Riviera Maya. Half Moon Bay isn’t overly crowded. The beach is a narrow strip of white sand.
With us going on holiday to Scotland this coming Friday I had made a huge list of things which needed to be done (as I'll be coming directly home from holiday and flying off to the USA with work the next morning), so instead of only having to pack 1 suitcase, I'm having to pack 2 of them!
Anyway, I've been sidetracked somewhat by goings on in the back garden for the last couple of hours, as Wage has been out there for most of the afternoon teaching Rolf how to play fetch with some sticks.
It's been so funny to watch and Wage is still explaining to Rolf how the game should work, but Rolf seems to be having enough fun just making Wage run and get the stick himself a few minutes after he throws it away. Each time Wage throws it there's a "wooooooo" from all the other uglies who are out enjoying the antics of the pair, followed by laughing everytime Wage has to run and retrieve the stick by himself!
No doubt this will continue on into the evening...or until Wage falls over exhausted (there's no sign of that happening anytime soon).

Oh come on... you didn't honestly think I would play fetch while it was raining and with the yard looking like that, did you?

No, Toby - as is his practice - took a ball out with him when when he went out for a Bio Break.
Yes, he could have stayed in the relative shelter of the eaves and then chosen a mostly dry spot under the trees.
That's what Henry did, he doesn't even care if he gets wet!
But no, Toby had to go ALL the way to the other side of the yard - the muddy side - the puddley muddy side!
Take from just inside the slider - probably zoomed in and definitely cropped.
