Hurley pausing to catch his breath while on a walk through the woods.
After a long walk through the woods of a neighborhood park, Hurley demonstrated three of his new tricks; shake, give me five, and give me ten.
I bought this “bug” at Radio Shack for Eric’s stocking. (We had a pact and I HAD to buy him something from there.) Anyway, who knew electronics would save a rainy (more like a downpour) day for our pupper? Our sanity is safe for tonight!
Hurley has spent a lot of time sleeping near the Christmas Tree lately. Hopefully he is on Santa’s “nice” list despite all the damage he has done this year.

Sure looks like it!!!
Hurley is learning a new trick. Too bad he can’t shut the kennel door from the inside.
Just a minute ago he seemed excited about flinging around a bunch of corn.

We went to the Edmonds dog beach yesterday to test out Hurley’s newly discovered swimming skills. He is still timid from the waves and the steep drop off, so he wasn’t willing to swim out far to fetch his balls. We quickly lost three tennis balls to the tides.
We then tried to get him to fetch small pieces of driftwood we found laying on the beach, which wasn’t as interesting to him. However, on one of his trips out, he found a floating log, which he managed to pull back into shore. We threw it back out, and he fetched it several more times.

Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera so the above pictures and the following video are from my camera phone.
So, the pictures show a typical morning of Hurley trying to entertain himself. I’ve pretty much given up on the chase and obviously still don’t do a great job of managing where I put things. So, at least it’s not dynamite, but toliet paper, kleenex, 2×4s and tennis ball containers, sometimes all in the same brief morning. I’ve taken the pictures for my sanity.
Hurley was quite proud of himself for snagging a container of tennis balls! Here’s my first poor attempt at a video while trying to avoid surprises in the grass.
