Well chuffed with Reuben this afternoon . Several days ago , I took just him for a walk, its a woody trail which has a stream running through , eventually joining the river Fowey . It was chucking it down with rain so I was throwing balls around for him to retrieve , many into the stream . All going well until his ball got stuck under a partly submerged log in the water, he tried and tried but couldnt get at it , so we returned empty handed . Today I donned wellies and off we set again and drawing close to the spot , I sent him ahead saying my usual Find It . Bless my great lumpador , he went straight to the stream, straight to the log and once more began frantically digging under the water . I got in ( at the point remembering that my wellies leak ! ) and joined him , both of us digging away until his precious ball finally popped out . Oh what joy on his face , a reward for remembering where he had last seen it , I tramped back to the car , soggy feet and all but his happy face just made me so proud and full of love xx
