Run ratties run!

Dandy and I met up with another New Rattitude foster parent for a small breed play date!  Foster parent Blair http://merrypaws.blogspot.com brought her two personal dogs (Maya & Sappho) as well as Blair's foster boy Owen.
 
The play date included: Lure Course, Barn/Brush Hunt, Go-To-Ground and was sponsored by the TriState Jack Russel Terrier Club.  I was more than worried for a number of reasons.  1) Dandy would get overwhelmed and have a meltdown 2) that we might get rained out .  But, I decided to take our chances despite it being 1.5 hours each way!  It was well worth the trip as you will soon see - there was no rain and Dandy well, he was pretty dang amazing.
 
"Wondering what is going on and what is this line that I've steped over"

Lots of smells and a good number of JRT's - Dandy's friend Sappho in the background

Watching the lure course

Dandy asked to be picked up while he watched other terriers take on the lure

"That's not so scary and it actually looks pretty awesome!"


 
 
 Dandy first attempt at chasing the lure
 
 
 Dandy LOVES, LOVES, LOVES the lure course!!  Owen joins in for a fun time!
 
 
 
 
 
 To see Dandy, Sappho & Maya triple team the lure
 
 
 
 
 Dandy just can't get enough - this boy was born to chase a lure!
 
 
Dandy is tired, he did about 6-8 lure runs but, he still gives it a go!

Happy boy waiting his turn!

Chasing the lure

Yes this boy is in his element!



Happy boy - soft eyes and mouth. This boy has found his calling!

Riding in his crate on the way home... he's a bit sore but is ready for more!
