As part of our study group we have set ourselves 12 challenges (one per month) to complete by the end of the year .... That way if nothing else we can all say we can do 12 more things than we could do before! Each month we pick one out of our own envelopes and have to do that ... This month I got 'Hold Bella's Tongue!' YUK
So today I set about on part one of my tongue holding program : Friendly game around her mouth and carrot stick in mouth.
We worked in the field shelter because, yes you guested it, it was raining. Bella was great, and she acepted everything I was doing with her really nicely. Everytime she made a real try I rewarded her with 5 mins of licking the Garlic Lick ... well she is a LBI/E!! I managed to progress further than I thought today as I even got my fingers into her mouth and massaged her tongue and gums a bit. I then stopped on that note as I didn't want to push her.
Will repeat this for the next few sessions and it will just become part of out day-to-day checks ... check legs, rugs, friendly, driving, porcupine ... and teeth and tongue!!
