Figuring Finn
#11
It's been too cold to drive these last couple of days, but we've been putting Finn through his circus tricks on the back patio. Phil had a very nice time with him this morning and Finn even jumped through the hula-hoop for Phil! Phil hasn't been able to get Finn to do this trick in a very long time--at least a year.

I played with Finn this afternoon as well. Cuzco had just finished his supper and left quite a lot of it on the patio floor, so Finn was very distracted by it. I could get his attention if I walked over to him, but I couldn't call him away from across the patio. So I got the riding whip out and tapped it on the ground a couple of times to let him know I meant business. He came right over and did the jump I'd set up. Every time he jumped in the direction of the spilled alfalfa pellets, though, he made a beeline for them. No wonder this boy is fat! All he thinks about is food! Anyway, after a few tries I was able to keep his attention on me through several repetitions of the jump and several leaps through the hula hoop. Then I escorted him over to the pellets and let him eat to his heart's content. I'm encouraged that he's progressing so quickly and that Phil was able to have fun with him this morning.
