and now Saxon's understanding full sentences ... I realise this probably isn't anything new to those of us living with dogs but I have to tell this story too:
so I'm out having my morning coffee and Saxon (and Biscuit) are always there, Saxon as always trying to get one of his toys thrown or kicked by me.
Since the big blue Jolly ball it's been that one he squeezes/chomps on incessantly pushing it in and around my feet and knees.
I'm not a big fan of the Jolly ball 'cause it's big and disgusting and I can only kick it, I'm not handling it, and I can never really get a good kick in when I'm sitting, 1stly because he doesn't let it get very far before intercepting it and 2ndly because there aren't that many safe places to kick from the chair under the pergola.
So this morning I've said: "no, you don't really want to play with that do you?" (in a sort of singsong voice)
Biscuit had been playing with the pink Cuz (desqueaked thankfully) but was currently distracted under another one of those rose bushes I have.
So I've said to Saxon: "why don't you go get Biscuit's toy" ... he's looked behind him and with barely a word more of encouragement (because I guess I'm usually saying the opposite "give that toy to Biscuit") Saxon has trotted over and stole the toy Biscuit had abandoned from his feet hahaha
Of course I rewarded Saxon with a couple of throws of the pink Cuz!! :-)

Saxon is a little scarey when he gets his speed up like this.

I managed to get these 2 out together on an early chilly Sunday morning.
Although I've been mainly keeping Biscuit on lead (at least until he comes when I say come at the time I say it) we were pretty safe here, could see dogs on the horizon, and it was pretty quiet.

another trip to this beach gives us Saxon's monthly waterlogged photo ... nothing particularly special to report, Saxon loves his chuck-it and loves the waves :-)

the (home made) contact sheet for Roll in a Day for July

the suggested theme was "Urban Decay" ... the coldest day in Melbourne in 18 years apparently, and I took an early Sunday morning trip (with Saxon of course) to some known graffiti sights, and a little bit of behind the local shops, and what I can only assume is an old railway line.

more of the favourites will be up soon ... as long as this uploads, this is my second go
