Yesterday ended week two of K-9 Kamp, hosted by Koly and Kelly. Our challenge this week was to complete one hour of fetch.
You would think this would be an easy challenge because Sampson and Delilah are labs (or in Sampson’s case a lab mix;) but that wasn’t the case. 🙁
We started out like gangbusters on Saturday. I enlisted Hubby’s help because he has a better arm than I do, so up to the field we went with one of Delilah’s bumpers. After about 10 minutes Delilah lost interest and it was only me fetching the bumper.
We tried again on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. If we got 10 minutes each day that was doing something. Although Wednesday Sampson got a wild burst of energy and took off with the bumper, enticing Delilah to run with him.
But the bumper quickly got dropped and they ended up wrestling. (Does that count?)
All told I will say, we probably got about 30 minutes of fetch in. Very poor showing in my book for two labs.
While I was formulating this blog in my mind this morning, I decided to check the K-9 Kamp to see what week three’s challenge might be.
I thought fetch was hard.
This week’s challenge is to play tug of war with your dog. For an hour. Oh but it doesn’t end there, oh no. You’re expected to do squats, lunges and push ups all while playing tug of war with your dog. That might work for Jodi with Kolchak the Puggle who weighs 25 pounds, but I’m not sure how it’s going to work for this Jodi with the 75 and 90 pound labs. 🙂
To quote Kolchak T. Puggle “It’s not much of a war when your Mama is an out of shape weakling.”
Tune in next Thursday (if I’m still able to blog) to find out how we fare with this next challenge.
