Part 2 - Kipawa pictures

Show Off Your Dog
  • Yesterday we took a lovely walk in an area near us called the North 40. Kipawa did tons of running - such a happy boy. Tomorrow we go lure racing practicing. I'll post pictures of that.

    The North 40 was home to the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals (RCCS), personnel who were active in Signals Intelligence (SigInt) during and following WW2. The personnel would intercept and listen to Russian conversations, passing it on to the Americans. Here's a link for any of you historians out there: http://www.troywoodintarsia.com/vws/vws.htm

    It's now an off leash park. The roads are still there (families of those who worked there lived there as well). It was such a secretive area that even though I grew up in Vancouver Canada, and it was about a 20 minute drive from where we lived, I had never heard of it before. Now it's about a 5 minute drive from our home.

    @TMartin: Looks like he did wonderful! In Loki's puppy class we did the same exercise, with the peanut, regular exercise balls, and barrels placed on their side and with something underneath while upright to make it wobbly. One of the pics I posted of Loki months ago is of him on the peanut. A regular exercise ball is more challenging as you first need to make sure you have a good hold on it and then gradually loosen your hold so it wobbles however much the dog can handle at the time. And of course it is far more unstable than the peanut. I haven't ordered the peanut yet, but now that you are talking about the regular exercise ball, I might go for that instead, because I can use it to stretch out my lower back.

    Not as often as he used to, but he still does it once in a big while, and then he tries to dive under the couch like he used to, but instead he just slams into it because he is too big! haha

    I give all the credit regarding Kipawa's mellowness to our breeders Therese and Kevin (FoPaw's Basenjis). They obviously did so much work in exposing Kipawa to a number of sounds and experiences. The carwash experience was really interesting. I thought he would be scared of it, but instead he seemed really curious. He especially loved the pink, green and yellow foam bubbles against the windows. Maybe he could pick up that I like them too? :)
