An update from Max's foster home:
Finally got internet to work so can tell you what Max has been up to over last few days!
Snow was pretty bad yesterday and walking a long the beach just wasn't tiring them out enough so, where could I get to on main roads without too many sleigh runs... Stanmer Park!
Took about 25 mins navigating my way along all the main roads to get there and a few wheel spins trying to get in to the car park, left car in the least likely place to get stuck and out we went in to the foot+ deep snow!
Long line was just getting too heavy in snow so decided to take the plunge and let him off! Yes, no ,yes, no, OFF! Eeek hope he comes back...
After a few reminders to the ever so treat motivated Max that the sweeties were in MY pocket which means COME BACK when I call, he was off. He ran and ran and ran and sniffed. It was great to see him have a proper run and he actually played a little with Ruby. He went a bit too far for comfort and didn't come back till the upteenth time I called and shouted 'treat' BUT he did come back, result!
I put him back on for a bit and let him off three times so he got used to coming back and being rewarded. He only really ran off once, I ran after him (not easy in the snow) and found him in the woods with his head and front paws down a rabbit hole. I tugged on the trailing lead and he pulled out, head covered in soil looking shocked, ''Oh there you are, what do you mean you were calling me?!''
He had a really good run and lots of fun in the snow this time. Very pleased and proud of him for coming back.
Wow, soo much snow and space
If I run on the spot will you let me off?
I'm freeeeeeee! Ooh foster mum has treats, better run back quick!
Alright, alright Ruby, we can have a quick play.
I wonder how far I can run before I get in big trouble...!
All that running and fun was hard work, time for a nap.
Im awake! What's for dinner?????
