Ninja
My dog Ninja loves 2 things more than anything else.
1) Barking uncontrollably at trains.
We live close to a railway line and the double decker inter city trains stop at our local station (both Annette and I catch them for work). On our morning walks we always traverse the rail bridge and one is often on it's way north or south. All you have to do is mention the word 'train' and Ninja picks up speed ready to investigate. When it actually does pass by below he jumps on the fence and barks at the carriages as if his life depended upon it and then goes for a quick wee as if to say 'beat ya again noisy thing'.
2) Splashing In The baby Bath
On walks along the beach, Ninja would often stop at pools or creeks, wade in and then make a splash by raising one paw and hitting the water. He'd then try to catch the spash in his mouth, chasing the drops wherever they fell. To replicate this cute behaviour at home, we got an old baby batch and have it filled with water down the backyard. He now goes completely overboard, splashing, biting the water, biting the bath itself, barking uncontrollably (again) and becoming completely possessive, snarling with teeth bared as your foot edges close to the batch.
He's a stupid old fella but we love him.
