Frankie's been a superstar!

So having worked all weekend today's been the first day me and pooch have been able to enjoy the sun. I decided to take him to his favourite place. It's an amazing place to walk, you walk along the river but it has sand either side so he can paddle (he refuses to swim!) and all along the river is a huuuuuuge field that has cows and horses grazing, and they don't take a blind bit of notice of dogs running near them. So I packed up a bag and off we went. Frankie was on his long line And I honestly can't believe how good he was. Normally every person he sees he has to say hello to an if he sees another dog he either puts the anchors on and stares, or pulls my arm off to say hello. If he's on the lead and a dog off led runs into him he panicks and growls. But none of this today. Every person he saw he walked straight past and ignored and every dog he saw or came near him he ignored and looked straight at me. Other than one dog who had a muzzle on who kept hanging around in the water, but it was like it waited for frankies permission to say hello. They said there hellos and frankie moved on! Every time I called him within a second he reacted, this never happens!!!! He had dogs, people, cows, horses and geese to distract him but he was so focused on me! This might not of been the case off lead, but were getting there. He spent the whole time in the water and his tail didn't stop wagging once! I didn't manage to get many pictures because I didn't have enough hands, but here's the ones I did get. Sorry for waffling but I'm such a proud mum!!!

Where's my stick gone mum?!
