Rogue - a long time in the waiting!

[Vectis Hamstery]

Rogue-woof is loving the new doors. Today he had fun rolling around in the garden and playing with his flirt pole. He wasn't impressed that I forgot to take a dog bowl out for his water and he ended up with a hamster bowl to drink from!

Gorgeous boy! Oh the shame of drinking out of a hamster bowl though!

Awww!
What is a "flirt pole"?

[Vectis Hamstery]

His flirt pole is a small toy on a cord which is attached to a pole. They have different ways of being used, including exercise, strengthening and training to commands when in prey drive. We just use it for fun at the moment I use it running the toy around the floor rather than in the air to avoid stressing his joints too much.

Rogue enjoyed his alfresco snack yesterday - a yummy quail egg.

Aww look at him tucking into his egg, what a little sweetheart.

Alfie looked at me like I had two heads when I tried with him with a flirtpole. He'd chase cats all day long given half a chance, but has no prey drive at all where anything else is concerned. I tell him he's a faulty terrier.

Rogue and I have had a lovely holiday. Lots of long seaside walks, yummy food and playtime. Rogue had his first experience of a sandy beach (the beaches near us are stoney ones). Apart from the water bit, he liked it!

He was treated to a new toy and looked very smug about that and the extra treats:

It's been a tiring holiday though...

Adorable little man, we don't see enough pics of this little guy! looks like he had a great, if not very tiring, holiday.

He is looking lovely and healthy and happy I really like that shot of him jumping!

Here are some more Roguey pics We did two searches today, one lasting 11 minutes and one lasting 5 minutes. It's amazing that 16 minutes of thinking can achieve what it takes an hour long walk to do! He's now fast asleep.

He looks very clever! Is that some kind of training you're doing with him? Hamster tracking?!
