Joni Loves a Good Blizzard – 76/365

Posted by Ellie

We've had all the wintry weather we want for this year. But Joni hasn't. There is nothing she loves quite as much as a good blizzard. I sent her out the other day, waited patiently by the window, looking out to see when she wanted to come back in. But she didn't. She absolutely loved the cold, adored the snow and raced around with great abandon. What she is going to do when it stops snowing or sleeting or freezing raining? I am sure she thinks she is a husky living at the North Pole. She has only ever known the winter. Fortunately for her there is no sign of spring in sight.

Joni is now 4 months old. The blue ball game is still the favourite and it is getting more and more refined every day as she teaches us the tricks she wants us to do with it and the rules of the game. We are learning.

You Missed a Bit – 72/365

Posted by Ellie

I guess I don't get out very much, as many of my photos are taken indoors and of my animals! So now those of you who have been following the progress of Joni (of the blue ball fame) will see that she is friends with Rupert. It's always handy to have a buddy who tells you when you haven't cleaned your face properly. Joni gets a bit over enthusiastic at times when playing with Joni, but on the whole it is working out well.

Joni and the Wubba

Posted by Ellie

We have wonderful, kind and loving friends – Katheryn and Norma – who also love dogs. Katheryn had told me how much her dog loved his ‘Wubba’. A week or so ago they turned up to meet Joni with a big bag full of toys and treats for her (and a bunch of flowers for me). They apologized that the toys did not include a Wubba, as they had not managed to find one. It didn’t matter to Joni, who knew nothing about it and who loved all the toys in the bag and loved Katheryn and Norma, of course (what puppy wouldn’t appreciate friends who turn up with bags of gifts and make a big fuss of you?).

Only a few days later, there was a knock on the door. When I opened it, there was Katheryn, with a brand new Wubba for Joni. It has become one of her most favourite toys. I have been trying to get a photograph of her playing with it, so that they could see what a success it was, but it has not been easy. It’s a toy that has to be shaken and thrown about, not the easiest thing to catch on a still photograph. Yesterday, as Joni paused for breath, I did finally catch that moment.  #AdayinthelifeofJoni  #puppy

Puppy Play at Joni's Blue Ball Play Station – 71/365

Posted by Ellie

Today I discovered that a jet from a spray bottle is a good reminder to Joni to stop doing naughty things. It doesn't hurt her but gets the message across quickly and effectively. I mean such naughty things as jumping up on my chair when I am eating or when I'm trying to use the laptop on the table. As my chair is also her blue ball station, we have come to a compromise where I can sit on it and she can play with her toys, including her blue ball underneath it. There is room for both of us. Here she is just having fun with Steven in between playing the blue ball game.
