Yesterday was beautiful and Phil and I were able to take Finn and Sputnik out for a little drive around the golf course. The boys were almost perfectly behaved for the entire drive. They even crossed water!
There was a bit of balking the first time I faced them into this puddle...
But with a little encouragement, Sputnik splashed in and Finn couldn't help but accompany him. Finn really wanted to leap the puddle and was all gathered up in a heap at the edge, but he wasn't exactly sure how to jump while hitched to a wagon. Luckily Sputnik was there to show him how to cross by putting one foot in front of the other.
Then we turned around and went back through for an encore. The second try was better than the first.
Good boys! We crossed the puddle two more times before continuing on our drive. I got out after each crossing and rewarded the boys quite profusely. Finn even got GRAIN!
Beautiful Finn.
A well-earned reward.
