Fergus got his first off leash hike yesterday and it went great.
We took him and Didgie to a local Quarry where he learned that if you randomly check in with us you get treats. Once he had that figured out it wasn't long before every few minutes he would run over, sit down in front of me waiting for a treat and then turn and sit down in front of my dad waiting for a treat.
He also met water. By stepping off of a drop off a foot into and going completely under. Luckily he wasn't too upset by that!
I promise I'll stop flooding you guys with pictures of him, he's just so cute.

He thinks Didgie is pretty awesome. And kinda sorta smells like a GIRL. Plus, I love having a dog with a great recall help teach a new dog.

Not traumatized by his water introduction!

Didgie fascinated him by swimming

It was really too cold for swimming but the lady will not be denied.

Fergus then discovered the Wubba and wanted it. Didgie then plotted to have him killed.
