Playing chase in the garden with Coco

in Hive Pets9 months ago

Coco loves to play chase

There's one thing for certain and that is that our much loved Springer Spaniel Coco loves to play Chase. We have another dog called Loco and she's a cross between a Pug and a Jack Russell. She's okay with chase. She'll go chase a couple of times and then get a little bit lazy and a little bit bored and go off doing something else like smelling some grass or whatever dogs like to do, but not Coco! Our Springer Spaniel absolutely loves chase and will go and go and go and go all day until you stop throwing stuff.

I guess it's in the breeding as Springers are trained to retrieve things at hunts and the like. Our Coco has never been involved in hunting and never will be, she's just a pet but that would be in her bloodline to retrieve things so I guess that's why she probably likes playing catch as much as she can.

I must admit I really enjoy it too and will often play with her on my Lunch break, as I work from home mainly.

Is it a bird?

Good for all

The games of chase are good for all involved. Coco gets a nice bit of exercise in the garden which she definitely needs as a springer spaniel and I get some fresh air during the day which I definitely need as a human, so it's a win-win for all of us.

Here are a few stills from a video of her retrieving the toy. She's well and truly a part of our family and it's lovely to have these photos of her happy out playing one of her favourite games.

Sort:  

Two of our four, Devil Dog and Sparky aka Spartacus Spartacus, have some Collie in them, we think, and they love to herd the chickens. One of the others, Belly, like Coco, will play catch until she drops and the fourth one, Piglet, just lies there all day watching them do their thing and contemplating the absurdity of it all.

Your dogs need their own Doggy sitcom. They sound like great craic and I love the names!! Devil Dog 🤣🤣🤣

So cute! Our dog doesn't get around too well anymore. Every now and then she thinks she is a puppy though.

A bit like myself, I had a big night out with friends last weekend and it took my days to recover! 🤣

Dogs are such good company though aren't they, great nature about them.

Ouch! Been there done that. I have a night several years ago that I only remember pieces of. Woke up the next morning and my nieces were worried I was dying!
