Hugo

Today my fav dog came to join me early in the morning. We did a vitaparcours round, and she stayed with me the whole time. Mind you, she was looking at me a bit when I was doing the various movements at the stations, but she is a very flexible dog and when we took a detour at the little lake in the forest she was as happy as one could be. She loves to swim. As well as shake off the water at me afterwards.

And that got me thinking coming back. I have this idea since quite some time that I should get my own dog. So I googled, and found Hugo. Hugo is a bigger dog than I anticipated, but somehow I felt like this might be it.

So in the evening I had a friend of mine phoning up the owner to ask if he was still available. He was. However, in order to get a dog in Switzerland you have to take a theory course of four lessons. Before you're even considered to take over a homeless dog.

I actually don't mind. Not everybody is as good with animals as I am, and I understand that you have to have certain basic skills.

I just wish it was the same with children.
